Chose this after researching about a half dozen other similar hoop systems on-line. Heard Huffy systems were pretty bad, so I went with Lifetime. Installation wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Took about 2 1/2 hours, but I had some breaks in between. A little tricky setting up the hieght adjustment system, but I figured it out after two attempts. Backboard is a little shaky, but not really that bad. Other than that, it is a pretty good hoop system. Seem sturdy and looks pretty good. I paid $170 plus free shipping on Amazon. Went to the sporting good store and saw some other systems that cost $100 more (plus shipping) but they really didn't seem much better. For the money, I think this is a pretty good deal.

It did need 2 adults as suggested, took 2 hours to assemble. Good quality and value

Since assembling this product, we have had great fun playing against each other or individually. The assembly instructions were good up to the point of assembling the height-adjustment. It was easier to look at the picture on the box and figure it out, rather than use the instructions.

When I find a quality item, I like to tell others. We still have this product in the driveway, and still play a game of b-ball at least twice a week (weather permitting). I've noticed other neighbors have taken their units down or their backboards are falling apart, but we are VERY satisfied with this one.

This is an excellent product for the money. We researched quite a bit before we bought it and read all the reviews on amazon. We were a little worried about putting it together becasue of all the negitive reviews we read. But, we didn't have any trouble. It went together simply and easily. We were careful to read all the instuctions before we began and kept ready a few steps ahead and it wasn't hard at all. Our kids have been playing non stop ever since.

really happy, well made was a little tricky to but together directions so so but if you go step by step it works great adjustment setup easy to adjust best price i could find seen it selling for 250$ plus shipping

This is a really nice basketball system....but the instructions were very difficult to follow...it took 3 adults 3 hours to put it together.

I would definately recommend this product just make sure you have plenty of patience when it is time to put it together.

Sturdy product. Great value for the money. Easier than expected to put together.

Bought this item to upgrade my daughter's starter hoop to something better. It takes a little thought and review to decipher the instructions, but the final product is definitely worth the effort. This is a good quality product and we're delighted with the both the looks and the features of this backboard.

I bought this for my 10 year old son on his birthday. He loves it. It took a little work to get together (pictures could be a bit bitter) but if you take your time and FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS it should go together OK. However, you will need help - there is no way that one person can hold a 10 foot pole while trying to attach the adjustable backboard mechanism. The end result is a sturdy backboard that can actually be moved on blacktop by one adult.

I agree that reading the instructions through FIRST (that is before you assemble it men!!) will assist alot it the ease of construction. It is a 3 hour project (again, factor in the READING time FIRST) and not too bad. My husband and son did it with minimal frustration. It is very sturdy and gets used almost everyday! Great deal....free shipping...can't go wrong!
