Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Quality, solidly manufactured item. If you are a handy person then this is a good buy. A point for those considering something cheaper.

The 1/8 acrylic backboard holds up better than the previous portable model that ended up cracking/breaking due to heat & uv exposure. The rim is sturdy and does not wobble much. The system is quite sturdy for the price.

Use rebar in the hole and push a 4' piece of rebar down the first pole, in the ground. You absolutely need a ratchet socket set and extension and a crescent or open end/box end wrenches.

The family loves it. Endless fun for my husband and our children. It's not as smooth as i expected but the kids to not seem to care.

Took 6 hours with two handymen to install using quikcrete cement. Installation is not complicated but does take some time.

Cons

This item is cheap and cheaply made. The metal is thin and the height adjusting mechanism is not accurate. The assembly instructions are incomplete and difficult to follow.

Pros: hardware seems sturdy and well made.

I dislike the way the instructions integrate three languages and found it cumbersome and made it easy to miss things.

Over the course of the assembly i realized many of the steps could have been assembled at the factory.

Price

Might have been at a discount for some sort of minor damage we never saw - glad we purchased this one!

Again, a great value for the money.

Overall, for the price, i think it will make for hours of enjoyment for our kids.

Buy this if you want an affordable/reliable option for an in-ground hoop.

Shipping

Had to call manufacturer and it delayed us about 2 weeks.

The first thing i liked is that the package was delivered a day earlier than anticipated so i was able to plan my days ahead of... Read More

Item arrived quickly and the guys delivered it to the shed, it’s heavy.
