    Replacement Parts after 8 years
    We bought our hoop almost 8 years ago when my son was 5. Fast forward 8 years and at 13 he still uses it. This Winter we lost the pin that holds the adjustable hoop into place. After 8 years I wasn't even sure they would carry the part, but they did and shipped them out to me for free! I would 100% recommend Lifetime hoops to anyone looking.

    Like I saw as I researched
    I bought this for my 10 year old son. I always wanted one growing up and now he is into sports. We will make many memories. We put it together in about 2.5 hours. We used the BILT app. I did my homework and I'm pleased with the product and the price. We will have this for years to come.

    Overall a good experience
    I read a lot of reviews about this hoop before purchasing. Most negative reviews were focused on the assembly process and the number of people it took to to assemble. I thought we'll I'm pretty good at assembling things, so I'll give it a shot. It took me about 2 hours in one evening solo. So there's hope for this hoop yet. Just follow and pay attention to the instructions and the orientation of each piece. Some bolts might have to be loosened and retightened while completing later steps, but it can definitely be done alone. As far as performance, so far so good. It does wobble a little and the backboard is a little hollow sounding, but that's to be expected with a portable hoop. The fact that it is adjustable will be perfect for my 11 year old. I do wish that the height adjustment arm was locked into place a little more securely, but it works.

    Great Product and Service
    Hoop is pretty decent for the price range. Very easy to use for my son. After a bad storm we came out and found that somehow the pin that holds the adjustment handle was missing. We searched every where and could not find where it fell off. I sent Lifetime an email and they had a new one sent out right away, no questions asked. Great service!

    very painful assembly but worth it
    assembly is a pain but once done its amazing. package says 3 hours to assemble, i took 1 whole days with breaks to complete with limited help. some of the instructions are missing in the document, so have to refer YouTube or use some logic/brain. also you need a lot more tools handy to assemble. only 4 stars as the instructions was no accurate plus i think the manufacturer could do a little better to make the assembly better.

    Overall, very positive
    Truly love the goal, bought a chain net and goal-attached ball return. Assembled easily over four hours. Looks good in the driveway, and moves and adjusts in seconds. But then (lol), a wind blew it over and bent the rim about an inch. You see, the plastic base is delicate, and got a pinpoint leak in it when it touched a curb, most of the water leaked out so it had nothing weighing it down, so 6 bags of sand later, I'm back in business but I would surely like to talk to someone about a new rim (at cost)! Yes, I would buy again in a heartbeat, but I strongly suggest SAND as opposed to water to fill the base..

    A Really Nice Basketball System
    We bought this for my daughter as birthday gift. She had been asking for a basketball goal for some time, but I really didn't want to permanently mount one on a pole along the driveway, or above the garage on the house. This was the perfect solution. The shipment arrived on time, and in good condition. We unboxed everything, and began assembling it. The assembly app that we downloaded made assembly so much easier than using the paper instruction manual. I recommend it highly! We did use the manual for hardware reference, but having the ability to zoom and rotate the images gave us multiple views and perspectives that you just cannot get in a printed manual. Plus it gives you the option to play each step over as many times as needed, so that you can make sure that you are performing each step properly. It said on the box that it would take 2 people approximately 3 hours to completely assemble the hoop system. It took us right at 3 hours. Perhaps you can do it in less time, but we are both pretty thorough, and we checked each step to make sure we didn't make any assembly mistakes. The tools we used were a phillips screwdriver, an adjustable wrench, a set of standard sockets, and a socket driver. We also used a block of wood and a rubber mallet when putting the sections of the pole together. We also filled the base with water and a small amount of chlorine bleach vs sand. We plan to empty it before it gets cold enough to freeze so that we can store the goal in the garage during winter. The operation of raising and lowering the hoop and backboard is very simple, and so far the system seems to be very sturdy. We have had many fun games of horse, and my daughter and I can get outside, and enjoy some one on one. It has a 5 year warranty in case anything goes wrong. Lifetime is a great company, and they seem to stand behind their products. Overall, this has been a great addition to our home. Another reason to get outside, and get some exercise, while boding with the family. We look forward to many great years of use.

    Very Good Product - Spend about 7 hours assembling
    Walmart said it would take about 6 weeks to get to me. It arrived in about 2 weeks. Very clear instructions. But must read every step or you might miss something (like not tightened the bolts till later). I am very pleased with the product. It is well made, good price and adjustable height which is a big plus as i hope to raise it higher when they grow older. I assembled it halfway by myself and near the end, you really do need 2 or more persons to help out. Connecting the board to the pool is a awkward operation and impossible by oneself. Overall, i am very happy with the product and it is a very good price.

    broke within a day
    I already submitted a warranty claim to Lifetime, but i just got the hoop a day ago, put it together, and noticed that the backboard was leaning. Upon closer inspection, i realized a defective weld on the backboard. The photo shows the broken weld, and although the weld is quite small, it does still cause the backboard to lean.

    spacers are wrong size acz x 2
    well....we were getting it done until we got to adding the adjustable handle. on the instructions section 5.2 there are 2 spacers that are required on each side. however it is impossible to fit both on each side. i'm super annoyed right now. one fit on one side the other doesn't fit. so now what???? you cant pull the bar apart... have to cut them to fit. also the frame out on backboard has to be drilled on, these holes need to be pre-drilled. we left them off for now. hoop is up will see how it does

    Fairly well basketball hoop
    This is a fairly well basketball hoop, the assembly overall took me 5+ hours to complete, the images in the instructions are tiny a difficult to make out, there are hundreds of small parts, screws and pieces to put together. Each package is clearly marked with three letter code that is is also mentioned in the instruction steps. At the end we were missing a few screws to completely finish the assembly. In addition I placed three 50 pound bags with sand for stability. Overall I'm happy with the way the product is built and kids enjoy playing basketball.
