For the price pretty amazing
For the price you can't complaint I bought this goal around the beginning of September and so far haven't broke or fell apart. It has been through storms and tough winds. Overall a great full basketball goal.

Good for price, but defective and parts missing.
No hole for pole, only thick plastic in space that could not be removed. QR code for video did not work. Missing other parts. Ordered it for son for Christmas, good thing we decided to open it on 12/10 otherwise Christmas would have been ruined. Hopeful there is another brand or model that has all parts and no defects.

    It's OK for the most part
    It was nice for the most part, but the instructions were so hard to follow, and tightening it was a pain. The wheels also didn't work very well. Also, when my son was playing on it, his foot landed on the base, and it broke. Besides all of what I just said, it was sturdy with water and everything.

    Shorty material
    Do not buy this. It's a shame because the backboard looks awesome and is a good price but the main post does not even hook up to the base securely. Metal and plastic just don't go together in general. After seeing other reviews I can believe it when people said theirs only lasted a few days to a week. Just returned ours for a refund.

    Piece of junk
    I bought two of these because the first one broke while putting it together. Where the brackets attach to backboard just busted right out. Bought replacement and the first storm that came through broke the backboard in the same place just from wind hitting it. These are poorly poorly made. Would not recommend at all.

    Terribly Designed, Absolute Flimsy Junk
    Do Not Waste Your Time on this Flimsy piece of Junk. Very Poor Design. The design for securing the pole to the base is quite flimsy. This results in the support pole being quite wiggly during play. The wheels are held in by an equally flimys "snap-in" deisgn. They roll poorly

    Poor materials. Won't hold up to normal use.
    Had a similar basketball hoop that lasted at least 10 years. This one didn't make it to one use. Instructions were unclear, so there was a step we had to undo and redo once we figured out what it should be. Sorry it's been too long, so I don't remember the specifics, but I believe it had to do with the direction of bolts on the backboard (back to front, or front to back). Once it was built, we filled the base with water. While moving the hoop into place, the ground was uneven but not bad. The base split and cracked in 2 places, of course draining most of the water and losing the weight for the base. The one we had previously was much thicker and stronger, and it easily and frequently took much more movement than this while filled with water. This one has much thinner plastic. To my knowledge, there is no way to replace the base, and we were just past the return date, having put it together in the spring after getting it at Christmas. Without the weight, the wind blew it over, and the bolts at the top of the backboard pulled through the plastic. Also no way to replace just the backboard to my knowledge. I've since fixed the base with Flex Seal and filled with sand, instead of water, thinking it won't leak if it cracks again. I fixed the backboard by removing the bolts that had pulled through and drilling through the backboard to secure it with bolts and nuts. In the pics, you can see after my repairs with black colored Flex Seal, so it may be difficult to see, one crack by the wheel and the other is at least a foot long along the seam on the side. The backboard pics also show after repair with washers and bolts on the front that aren't supposed to be there, and on the back you can see the cracks where the original bolts had pulled through.

    Inferior base
    No problem with assembling or the backboard like other reviewers had. It's the base design that's bad. The plastic is too thin and the wheels are not big enough to keep the base from dragging once it's filled with water. After assembly and rolling it down the driveway there were holes in the base. No way it will hold water now!

    Droopy Hoop
    This basketball setup is best for younger players. The backboard doesn't have the feel that it will hold up to a lot of abuse, the major problem is the bracket that attaches the backboard to the pole it is made up of thin gage metal and bends easily and under any kind of wind or stress will leave the backboard at an angle. With a couple more mounting holes and bolts this could be resolved or a thicker gage bracket.

    Waiting for tryout/review by grandchildren
    A little difficult to put together for one person Base has many indentations which will collect rain water. Size of base was not indicated in specks. Otherwise seems like a good pick for the money.

    Difficult assembly.
    Difficult assembly. Directions are not in order. For step 5, do NOT attach rim to the backboard first. So this step last.

    Not female friendly
    It is not single mom friendly. I had help but directions were not step by step which the notes were not in order so I worked for three hours on 4 bolts only to find out something else went there as well. Ugh frustrated. So five hours later it's together.

    Absolutely great Christmas gift! My boys loves it!
    Very nice goal! Semi-Easy to put together. Sturdy and quality material! One of the rails that connects the pole to the base were not bent. Luckily we had tools to bend it. It was delivered with all of the pieces, and took like 45minutes to put it together; because men like to look at pictures vs read lol

    Vague instructions, Bar doesn't fit, but nice pole
    1) Instructions were vague, not clear. It says to attach hoop to backboard and then attach frame to back of backboard, so it was bolt-hoop-backboard-nut-frame. Problem is that the frame has to be secured by same screw/nut, so we had to undo everything and then re-attach with bolt-hoop-backboard-frame-nut. 2) The bar which holds the base pole was too big for the holes. Luckily, I have a drill and a large bit so I was able to enlarge the hole in the pole so the bar would slide through it (see picture). 3) It was good that I had tools and WD-40, otherwise this assembly would have been a nightmare. As is, it was a 30-minute assembly time that took over 2 1/2 hours. In the end, everything got put together as it should, and my son loves the basketball hoop. So, if you decide to buy this, make sure you have tools to fix any assembly problems you run into and make everything "hand tight" until you are sure each piece is attached in the correct (logical) order !!
