5.0 out of 5 stars Whoosh! Nothing but net! :-)
As most things, some assembly is required. Rest assured, this item doesnt take a rocket scientist or brain surgeon to figure it out. Very easy to follow assembly instructions which resulted in a FAST and SUPER EASY assembly!
The kids absolutely love it. My only regret is that I didn't get it sooner. One tip, make sure you pick up a glow in the dark...

3.0 out of 5 stars Could be better
We have two of these - one of them assembled and has held up fine but the base of the other one could be better. The area of the plastic base where the thin bottom supports attached ripped out, reducing supporting and causing water to leak out of the base. Even when full the hoop shakes a bit, but for the money it is still a pretty good deal - be careful when assembling...

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what we needed, January 18, 2007
This review is from: Spalding Youth Portable Basketball System with 32 Inch Eco-Composite Backboard (NBA Logo) (Sports)
I have a five-year old who loves sports. This basketball goal is perfect for him as the larger goals are too high for him right now. This one takes the rim to about 6 feet (or lower), which is about all he can handle right now based on his size and strength. All the kids in the neighborhood love it and want to play. I think this size will allow him to develop sound fundamentals rather than the bad habits that would come from a taller goal.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST BUY FOR 8 to TEENS!, February 27, 2008
By 
This review is from: Spalding Youth Portable Basketball System with 32 Inch Eco-Composite Backboard (NBA Logo) (Sports)
This is really the best hoop available for youngsters to teens. The hoop adjusts from 5 feet to 6.5 feet, which is perfect for probably K-9. I bought this for my 8 year old granddaughter, and she loves getting outside now to shoot some hoops! My 14 year old grandson is 5'2" and it is a good challenge for him at the 6-6.5 height. Good value for the money. The back of the backboard is lightweight plastic though, so be careful not to tighten the screws too tight and be gentle when laying it on its side because it will crack.

This product is very durable and priced right. My 6 children ages 2-12 all have gotten hours of enjoyment out of it every day for a month now. Takes only 30 seconds to adjust to different heights. It is big enough for parents to join in for a great family activity as well. Would recommend to anyone trying to keep little ones active and needing a fantastic way to get the whole family together.

We purchased this for our 6 year old girl. It is a good quality product. We like the portability and the fact that it is adjustable as she gets older. Also, you can use a standard size ball instead of those mini ones. Would definately recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for you little one, April 11, 2007
By 
This review is from: Spalding Youth Portable Basketball System with 32 Inch Eco-Composite Backboard (NBA Logo) (Sports)
This is the perfect sized hoop for my 5 year old. He gets less frustrated and actually has good form when trying to make a basket with this one instead of just launching it in the air like with the full size models. This is a great option for those kids just a little too small, but love basketball!!!

Painless to put together (simple step directions included), easy to adjust to different heights and very sturdy...perfect size for our 2 and 6 year old!! Having different sized balls on hand has been a fun addition.

A Kid's Review
This review is from: Spalding Youth Portable Basketball System with 32 Inch Eco-Composite Backboard (NBA Logo) (Sports)
My son has this basketball fever now, and that was the reason I opted to purchase this item. After some research on the net I decided to go with this one. With nice and strong parts(for a 6 year old), the base fills with water or sand and is heavy enough even to drag and move around. Make sure you get a ball for the size of the rim. The rim height is adjustable and convenient depending on how challenging you want it. He likes it a lot. No complaints so far.
