This might be the first time I've ever written an Amazon review, but I just got customer service so good that I felt compelled to do so. Recently, the cap on the base of our goal broke, so it couldn't hold as much water or sand as it should. I emailed Lifetime this morning, they asked for pictures of the broken part, and before noon, they gave me an order number on a free replacement that will be shipped by early next week. Incredible turnaround and response.Our kids shoot on this goal 3-4 days a week and love it. Super easy adjustment. Good, sturdy goal. Would buy another Lifetime product.

Cannot stress enough how great this bball goal is! Follow the directions and you’ll have not that hard of a time. I had to make some space in the holes to install the goal onto the post (not difficult to do), but other than that, it went together easy!We have used it every day since Christmas 2024 and the quality of this product is evident!

It a fan of this basketball hoop. It took two people about 15-20 hours to assemble. The instructions are horrible, it was missing two of the large bolts so we had to go buy extras and there is no warning label on the pieces that was referenced in the instructions to line up so you know the front from the back of the pole. Also it is VERY hard to adjust up and down.

The hoop is awesome, but the assembly instructions are not good. Instruction drawings were sometimes missing components like bushings and certain parts were shown with the incorrect orientation.It wasn't horrible to make the corrections, but it added a chunk of time. Overall, I think Lifetime makes really nice products. Again, aside from the instructions, I'm very happy with the build quality and function.

Setup was ok. I did break a bolt trying to install the rim with those bolts. Snapped right in half while trying to twist. Had to buy replacements at lowes. So assembly took 2 days but was on track for a 2 hour setup. I used sand in base not water. Took a while since most sand is damp. Pro tip - make your own funnel with a juice bottle, milk carton or wide mouth bottle like Gatorade. Then put two bags of sand on top just in case. Another top - I spray painted all the bolts with black spray paint to protect them from rusting in the future. Some use a certain wax. But otherwise gameplay is great. Doesn’t wobble much, but I wouldn’t pay more for a portable hoop than $499

組み立て説明書は、よく見ないと間違えることがあります。図を見る力が必要かと思いました。物は非常に良いと思います。ポリカーボネートの板厚は、思っていたよりも、薄いと感じました。説明書にも書かれていますが、水では不安定です。砂を入れた方が良いと思います。

高さ調整が簡単で使いやすく、安定感もありきにっております。組み立てがいかにもアメリカンで力業が目立ちます。周りに有るものを駆使して漸く完成したような感じ。移動は大人3人は必要かも

While I agree that putting this goal together is a bit time consuming I don't fault the manufacturer for that. I think it is just the nature of the beast. There are many parts and this thing is well over 10 feet high after assembly so of course it will take some time to put together. I did it over two days more or less by myself and it took in aggregate probably about 5 or 6 hours. Keep in mind I was very careful and methodical as I didn't want to get anything wrong and have to back track. Also I don't consider myself to be very handy at all.With a few minor exceptions (really no big deal) the provided instructions were adequate and fairly easy to follow if you pay attention and move through methodically. In the end the time and effort was well worth it as I have a nice, sturdy, extremely functional basketball goal in my backyard that is a huge hit with my 9 year old boys who are just getting in to basketball and playing on an organized team for the first time this year. The goal is very sturdy (I filled it with water) even though I have it sitting on grass and it is very easy to change the height of the goal in case you ever want to. The backboard is a bit wobbly on a hard shot but nothing that will distract or otherwise take away from your enjoyment. I would highly recommend this goal to anyone that asks and if you are considering buying it don't think twice, you won't be disappointed.

Thanks:I want to thank Brant G. for making his review, I purchased this product mainly because I felt quite identified with all of his findings.I also want to thank the guys at Wayfair (Amazon dealer), they are truly great Santa helpers, the first box that I got came damaged and opened, they took care about everything and on time for Santa.To my too boys, Sam and Will. I built this system with my the help of my 9 year old boy and my 17 year old boy, my younger son helped identifying all the parts/hardware, following instructions and the light assembling, my older son helped me with the assembling of the most heavier parts. It was a lot of fun !!, great father-son experienceTo my wife and my daughter for their great support when my fingers got caught in between the board and the main pole (my mistake here, read recommendations below)Logistic report:Time to built: 5 hours, with two adults it can easily get reduced to 3 hours.All parts and hardware fit perfectly, instructions are ok, no problems at all.If you like assembling things, this is a superb product and won't get you disappointedRecommendations if you buy this system:Consider doing section 6.1 and 6.2 of final assembling at the same time that you are doing section 3. Assembling these parts when the system is basically finished is extremely difficult (heavy and difficult to move)Always read the footnotes on each one of the pages, these contain very important instructionsWhen opening the box, each plastic bag contains a set of hardware, the instructions use one plastic bag per each section (each section do not mix hardware between bags)Get the electrical drill with variable speed and torque, the drill is used to screw the self-drilling screws into the pole on section 1.6 and into the board in section 6.1/6.2. For this electrical drill you will need a phillips screw driver (section 6.1/6.2) and a hex screw driver (section 1.6).Last but not least, for section 5, assemble this section with the system on a table, do not try to do this with the system standing.... I got two of my fingers hurt :-)Thanks
