  • Great choice for home basketball!
Style: Portable Pattern Name: Basketball System
I bought this basketball hoop for the kids, and they love it! The hoop is sturdy enough to withstand intense games and can be easily adjusted in height, making it perfect for all ages. Installation was smooth, and now we enjoy games outdoors every evening. 🔹 Pros: ✔ Height adjustment—perfect for growing kids. ✔ Durable material—the hoop handles strong shots without losing its shape. ✔ Easy installation and long-lasting. 🔹 Cons: ❌ Requires enough space in the yard for installation. ❌ Slight noise when the ball hits the backboard, but it’s not a big issue. Great quality for the price, and now the whole family spends more time outdoors. Highly recommend for basketball fans! 🏀 ... show more

  • I liked the larger backboard size (54 inches) relative to others ...
Style: Portable Pattern Name: Basketball System
I had researched many different portable hoops before deciding on the Lifetime XL. I liked the larger backboard size (54 inches) relative to others in the same price range. I purchased it from Amazon (not a third party) and only paid $220, which I consider a bargain. Amazon delivered the hoop to my doorstep in less than a week. I consider myself fairly handy when it comes to assembling products - this hoop took me 2.5 hours to assemble. It would have gone a bit faster if I had a second adult to assist. I thought the instructions were fine, in fact much better than many products where the instructions seem to be a literal translation from chinese to english. We filled it with sand so as to avoid the potential of the water freezing during the winter and subsequently cracking the plastic base. Once filled the base is substantial yet easy enough for an adult to move over pavement (trying to move in the grass was a two person job). My children (15 year old daughter and 9 year old son) enjoy the height adjustability. Both of them are able to adjust the height by themselves with no difficulty. The backboard is a bit flimsy when compared to a high school gym backboard but I expected this when considering the very reasonable price ($220). The orange rim is very substantial and solid - a pleasant surprise. When a ball hits the rim the ball deflects off with no movement of the rim itself. So, overall an excellent product that will encourage my kids to set down their electronic devices and get some fresh air and exercise! :) ... show more

  • Great Basketball System!
Style: Portable Pattern Name: Basketball System
I bought this for my son after his basketball hoop backboard broke. One of the main reason I got this one was for the "shatterproof backboard" which remains to be seen how long it will last. The system was a pain to put together, I would recommend 2 people if possible. Once it was put together though it looks great, feels sturdy and after several months so far no issues. One of my favorite features is the adjustable height system. It's so much easier than the last system we had and can even be done with one hand...it's really easy! My son is really enjoying it and so far no issues at all. Hoping it lasts longer than the 8 years the last one did. ... show more

  • Assembly a little frustrating but worth it
Style: In-Ground Pattern Name: Basketball System
The system arrived promptly in perfect condition. After laying out the parts, I discovered 2 wrong bolts & nuts. This was easily remedied by calling Lifetime & within 4 days I had the correct parts. Caution- 2 of the nuts (3/8") are listed as 2 needed. However, about 8 steps into assembly, you realize that 2 are called for on one page & 2 are called for on a subsequent page. We made a fast Home Depot run and 32 cents later (plus MUCH more expensive gas) and we were back on the job. I highly recommend laying out the parts in order of the instruction pages (NOT how I did it) as you'll find a couple of parts that you DON'T need at all on the parts list (believe me I checked and re-checked). Apparently the parts list is old or poorly matched to the current kit. In any case, assembly was a bit frustrating at times. The diagrams aren't nearly as detailed as the parts page (you expect a rim on a nut or a curved end to a pole arm, but it isn't in the diagram- so you doubt the part). That said, the instructions weren't terrible & there were lots of steps (39.5) which helps simplify things slightly. All in all, it took two of us about 5-6 hours total to assemble it (we had 3 pieces that had to be removed and installed the correct way - i.e. aligned holes wrong based on only a partial diagram). I'm not the handiest person, so perhaps that's part of it. The hole and bottom pole installation was easy, but I did end up needing 8 50# bags of concrete for the accurate level of concrete. I used the 10 minute post concrete, this may have contributed... The system itself is great. It looks and feels nice. There's some give on the backboard and rim with shots, but for under $400, I'm very impressed. The height adjustment is VERY easy to operate. The 6 year old can even do so one handed. In summary, plan ahead - 3 days (+) for the concrete to truly cure & at least 1/2 a day for part layout, assembly and installation. Then, enjoy this great system for the money. ... show more

  • Nice product for the right price
Style: Portable Pattern Name: Basketball System
This is a pretty solid product as I would imagine as this is Amazon’s top seller. The 4” pole makes it look very sturdy. The backboard has a steel frame and is also very sturdy. The instructions were ok but also used YouTube to help assemble. Not as bad as others has said. You can also use the bilt app to see step by step instructions. The backboard does shake a little but is expected with all portable hoops. It adjusts to any height easily. For this price, the quality is very good. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a basketball hoop. ... show more
