Easy to assemble and customer service is great! Stopper cap came broken and they replaced it immediately. The hoop is good quality.

My oldest (7 years old) just started getting into basketball. So I wanted to see about getting him a more legitimate indoor hoop (as opposed to the small ones you hang over a door). Did a lot of research, and this one form Mayfire seemed like a winner. Other brands seemed to have a handful of consistent reviews about cheap materials, poor construction, defects, and lack of good QC. While the Mayfire just appeared to be better constructed.Delivery was super fast. Even though Amazon was projecting upwards of a week. It arrived at my door in 4 days (2 of which were the weekend). The shipping box was nice and compact, but not at the expense of security. It was packaged incredibly well. Plenty of bubble wrap on all the parts to protect everything during transport.Unboxed and assembled it this evening, and it went together perfectly. No missing hardware, and fairly good instructions. It's not a complex build, and can easily be done by one person. I didn't notice any defects or dings. Each part has a really nice powder paint/powder coating. The poles are quite substantial, being bigger than I'd expected (a good thing). And while ours will be used entirely indoors, I get the impression that it'll hold up fairly well if exposed to the elements.One thing that might seem a little confusing is that pole (K) slides inside of pole (L). For a second, I thought they'd forgotten a part. But quickly realized poles (L) and (K) are essentially a single telescoping part; which is how you are able to adjust the height. Pole (F) is optional, depending on the configuration you want. What's nice is that the adjustment is super easy. Even if you want to swap out the extension pole (F), every adjustment after initial assembly is tool free. With nice sized thumb knobs securing the whole pole assembly together.As mentioned, pole (L) and (K) are what allow you to adjust the height. To do so, you just remove a cross bolt from pole (L), and then move pole (K) up or down to your desired height. The latter has 6 holes (spaced every 4"), so there's a really wide range of height adjustment available.One thing that I really like is that it provides two ways to fill the base (many other hoops I saw only had one). Yes, you could put sand or water in any base. But this hoop from Mayfire has two unique filling ports. One is on the top of the base, which is smaller and intended for filling with water. The other port is quite a bit larger, and is at the back face of the base. This will surely make it easier to fill with something other than water (e.g., sand). And both filling ports have a nice rubber gasket/seal. Which should ensure that you won't get any leaks. My plan is actually not to use sand or water. But instead, I'll be using horse bedding pellets. I've used these in many other similar applications, and think it is far better than sand or water.Another thing worth calling out relates back to the height adjustment. When looking at the specs on Amazon, something seemed off about the height ranges they claimed when in each configuration. Specifically, when adding the extension pole (F), the height gap was listed as over a foot (6'1" jumping up to 7'3"). That seemed odd given that all the other increments were listed at around 4".Sure enough, I discovered their listing and manual are wrong about the height ranges. I measured each position in both the short and tall configurations, and there is actually a height of 6'5" that was omitted from all their literature/specs. So if anyone is curious about the actual height ranges, I've detailed them below. For clarity, these measurements are from the floor to the rim.Short Configuration- 4'9" (57")- 5'1" (61")- 5'5" (65")- 5'9" (69")- 6'1" (73")- 6'5" (77")Tall Configuration- 6'9" (81")- 7'1" (85")- 7'5" (89")- 7'9" (93")- 8'1" (97")- 8'5" (101")As you can see, the extension pole (F) basically adds 24" to each of the short configuration heights. This was a pleasant surprise. Since the gap of 6'1" to 7'3" was the one thing on-paper about this hoop that I didn't like.Aside from all of the above, the "glass" on this hoop is quite nice. They say it's polycarbonate (the same material as bullet proof glass). Which I've used in other projects, and has proven to be very strong. The rim doesn't have any springs, but is otherwise nicely constructed.The backboard is also the perfect size for an indoor hoop. I thought 33" wide might not be great. But now that I've assembled and used it, it's plenty. I had been looking at one with a 44" backboard. But the tradeoff is that it would have been quite a bit taller as well. Which for an indoor hoop is not as desirable. As the taller backboard means you can't elevate the rim as high. With this Mayfire hoop, in a room with 8' ceilings, you can use it up to the 6'5" configuration. However it's little tight.The last thing I'll mention is the mobility. The wheels on it are nothing special, but it does roll very easily. What's really nice about the modularity of the height adjustment is you can disassemble most everything with no tools. So if you want to move it between inside and outside, it'll be super easy.Overall, I'm incredibly happy with this hoop. Paired with one of those quiet foam basketballs (which are REALLY cool), it'll make for the perfect indoor winter setup in our movie room. At around $70, I would absolutely recommend it!

“Santa” bought this as a Xmas present for hubby and my daughter. It’s smaller than regulation but perfect for casual playing in the driveway. It’s very light and easy for husband to move.Putting together was straightforward. Our backboard came damaged with a large and deep scratch. Dealing with company to get a new one was super easy and quick.Picture is at lowest height and will grow as my daughter does.

Bought this for my 7 year old granddaughter as she is into basketball now thanks to Caitlin Clark. It is a smaller size than a regulation basketball hoop but perfect for a 7 year old and can be height adjusted. It was realtively easy to put together. It took my daughter and I about 40 minutes with the tools provided. I was very impressed with the quality and sturdiness, but it's not intended for grown men playing a pick up game and dunking the ball. Filled the base with water for now but will eventually get sand to weigh the base down. I would recommend.
