  • Well Built, Sturdy, & Easy to Adjust
Pattern Name: System
This basketball system was purchased as a Christmas present for my 11-year-old son. I purchased the "Lifetime" brand because over the past 10-years I have observed several other similar products in my neighborhood, and how well they have stood-up to the harsh Colorado winters and dry air. While it is true that assembling this system correctly is moderately difficult and time-consuming, the finished product has been well worth the time & effort. The Pros for this product are: Extremely well designed & sturdy Very easy to adjust rim height Shoots as similar as possible to a professional backboard and hoop, considering its size & mobility Quite easy to move from one location to another When properly counterweighted will withstand big storms and strong winds Affordable price with exceptional quality The Cons for this product are: In CO counterweighting with water is not an option, and the small holes make it nearly impossible to fill with sand; bigger holes would solve this problem Moderately difficult to assemble Requires two adults to finish assembly and stand up safely Overall, the Lifetime 51544 Basketball System is nearly as good as this product could possibly be while still being mobile. The backboard and rim are solid with just the right amount of spring, and even this 50-year-old dad enjoys dropping the rim to 8' and showing off some dunks. Similar items in my neighborhood have stood strong and continue to function well after enduring nearly 10-years of play and Colorado winters, and I have no reason to think ours will be any different. ... show more

  • Excellent basketball hoop and backboard
Pattern Name: System
Be prepared for a multi-hour setup (and have at least one if not two helpers). The instructions are pretty good, but the illustrations didn’t always provide enough context for what was being shown. That said, everything was very well labeled. I highly recommend having a socket wrench set (though the instructions only call for fixed wrenches) and vice grips to help tighten some of the more difficult lock washers. Once it’s assembled, though, this is a great hoop. It’s large, has good spring action, and is easily height adjustable by an adult or older teen. ... show more

  • Great beginner hoop for family
Pattern Name: System
I purchased this basketball goal for my kids, but mostly because my youngest daughter was starting her first year of basketball and I wanted to give her a means of practicing at home. The installation was a bit of a challenge, but my wife and I were able to assemble the whole thing within a few hours - the majority of which was in our garage. Take note that when installing, you will definitely need a significant amount of headspace - so you can start in the garage, but several steps will require you to be outside or a very high ceiling. Also - this sucker is heavy and can be extremely dangerous if you aren't careful when performing some of the installation steps before the anchor is filled with water (or in our case, base gel and water). Overall - this hoop has met our expectations and has proven to be a great addition for our family, and a fun outdoor activity for the kids and I to enjoy together. ... show more

  • Sturdy. Long assembly, but all the information is there. Seems difficult to move.
Pattern Name: System
Assembly took about 4 hours. You'll need a double set of wrenches (7/16", 1/2", 9/16", and 3/4") as well as a hand-held power drill to complete. Make sure you lay out your pieces for each assembly section in advance. If you are methodical and careful to use the right bolts and match the orientation of support the metal struts, you will have no problems. It sometimes helps to read the whole page before starting as there are several helpful hints that addressed concerns I had when I thought I was doing something wrong. I did 95% of the assembly using only the written manual as a guide and only used the supplemental video for the end steps to make sure I wasn't messing anything up (when I got to the portion where you attach the protective bumpers to the backboard with the power drill). Most of the assembly can be done solo, but there are a few steps where you'll need a second person to step in and help. Overall, I was impressed with the quality of the hardware. For the most part, everything is sturdy and the hoop is well built. However, now that I have it assembled, I'm concerned about mobility of the unit. I live in an HOA where I can't leave the hoop out and I have my doubts that I'll be able to wrestle it back and forth between uses. It's too tall to stick in my garage (~112" tall at the lowest setting), so I'll have to wheel it to the side yard between uses. The unit has plastic wheels and the instructions say you need to add 300 pounds of weight to the base to stabilize it. Moving the hoop twice a year seems doable, but I'm unsure I'll be able to wrestle this monster back and forth every weekend. Assuming I manage that task, I also have doubts that the plastic wheels will hold up to that much rolling. ... show more

  • Great hoop!
Pattern Name: System
I was concerned spending as much as I did on this hoop. After putting it together and getting it where I wanted it, it is well worth’s the money. Nice strong backboard, easy to put together (just takes time and 3 different size wrenches), and very sturdy. The base fills up with so much water that it was hard to push it two feet into the grass. I am sure that no wind with knock it over with that much water and 2 cinder blocks on it. ... show more
