Pros & Cons
Pros
It is very sturdy and does not disappoint. The nuts it provides are a special type of center locking nut. The hoop is sturdy and the mechanism for raising and lowering it is much better than the crank style i had on my old one.
The 54” backboard is great. It adjusts up and down with ease. The kids love the adjustable height. And lastly, the height is very easy to adjust.
Do not be deterred. The instructions lack a little in some areas and caused me to redo multiple steps. We are grateful the process was smooth.
The additional tools i recommend are a socket adapter for your electric screw driver and a set of sockets. It is a bit complicated to assemble, but if you take your time and follow the directions it isn't too bad. Took 3 people over 3 days to put toge... Read More
Cons
Parts are shoddy and extremely complex to assemble. Most the instructions advise you tighten bolts from the bolt head side. The directions fail to include detailed diagrams that show how the very intricate and many small parts need to fit together.
The backboard is rather flimsy and the break away rim is too springy. The hoop also wobbles way more than i think it should.
Highlights
Quality
Awesome, kids love it, seems sturdy and built to last.
Very sturdy, easy to adjust height and tall enough for kids and adults!
It’s impossible to move, once built and weighted to move on your own.
Bought an "nba" branded one before this, the base leaked on day one and it fell over bending the rim.
Price
Best price i could find and the product is wonderful.
I was so appreciative of lifetime and their willingness to help us out because this was an expensive purchase!
Just my 2 cents not that it's worth anything but hopefully it helps!
It's overall a good product for the money you can't go wrong i have a teenage son and his friends use it on a regular basis.
Shipping
Without any discussion, they offered to send out a new backboard which we received within the following week.
I sent an email off to lifetime and asked if there was anything they could do and they responded within a day.
