Product Description

Editorial Review

It doesn't quite meet official NBA specifications, but this lightweight basketball set is equipped with built-in wheels that make it easy to move for adults. A wonderful first basketball hoop for your little all-star, it sets up easily on any flat indoor or outdoor surface and you can fold it down over its wide base for compact storage. Made of durable plastic, the set features a large backboard and a realistic nylon net that attaches to a wide, "breakaway" rim. The adjustable rim can be set between 5 and 7 feet high as children grow, and players can keep track of the score during games with the sliding plastic counters built into the stand. To maintain stability during use, the base of the Easy Store Basketball Set should be weighted down with sand (not included). Inflatable rubber basketball included. --Chris Burns

This review is from: Easy Store Basketball Set (Toy)

We received this item as a gift. It took about 20 minutes to assemble, with no tools required. (I did use a shoe to pound the wheel axle in though :-) There were a lot of stickers included, so I had the kids decorate the apparatus as I assembled it, and everyone was happy.

There are five height adjustments but even the lowest is 5 feet, so this set is a little too tall for the recommended three-year old; however, it does fold up nicely to reduce its impact on your space, it does move around easily using the wheels, and you can fill the bottom with sand or water to stabilize it. With the exception of the axle for the wheels, all parts are plastic and colorful. This is a very nice basketball hoop (though as I said, a bit tall for the lower recommended age), and one small basketball is included. Easy to put together, easy to enjoy and easy to store.

This is a great hoop when your child grows out of the smaller, 4 feet high net, and is still not ready for a true NBA height net. It is very durable, and portable!

i bought this toy for my little 3 year old brothers birthday, he loves it. he likes how i can play him one on one and not have to keep score in our head or on paper. this is great and he learned a lot about basketball.
