Aside from putting one bolt in backwards (kids could have bonked their head on it so just turned it around) it all worked out nicely. I recorded a couple of videos which shows you how the back board sits right on the pole. If you have a limited budget and / or you just want something for goofing around, or for little kids who have an interest in Bball, really I can't find any faults."

"While the first hoop lasted almost 3 years, the second one only lasted 5 months before the backboard broke today (while playing alone). While my son wants to buy another one (the 3rd), I am not sure after this one broke so quickly."
"We added the pro mini hoop yellow and black ball for indoor play because we bought it for our 4 yr old and he prefers it."
"The net is sturdy and hooks onto 10 or 12 hooks on the rim."
"I expect that long after the backboard is gone I will use the rim on a home made backboard."
"My son received the glow in the dark hoop for Christmas."

"Perfect office present for my husband's 45th."
"We had a smaller backboard from another manufacturer in which the rim kept collapsing."

"It swings a little when shots hit out wide on the backboard or if someone hangs on the rim. Needed widen the holes on the mounting plate, but was easy to do with a Dremel."
"Gave it 4 stars because the way it's built the backboard is a long way from the support (in my case the pole) and that makes for a unit that has way more movement that I would like."
"It took a little while to build it but it is a dream to raise and lower."
"Confusing how to attach 54" Spalding acrylic backboard (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002C3DDFM), especially regarding the spacers, and for some unknown reason, the roof mounting brackets aren't spaced to align with the roof joists. Bolt holes are very very tight; had to thread through rather than just push: makes it very hard when you're on a ladder or sitting on a sloping roof."
"Seems more sturdy when all put together, better than its separately purchased rim and backboard relatives."
"The hardware for bolting to your house is not included - so make sure you figure out what you need and get it before you start."
"So, we got everything loaded up, drove up to our cabin in the mountains, and were incredibly disappointed to discover that our long holiday weekend would be basketball free."

It's getting colder in CT, so these are great for keeping my legs a little warmer when I go out and run late at night. Despite my desire to show off my shapely legs from all the miles I run, my wife informed me that I need to wear shorts over these pants."

"These are a gift for my grandson, this is the shoe he wears so I assume they will fit, don't know yet."

"Other than an actual official NBA basketball, this is hands down the best basketball you can buy."
"Make sure to not let it get outside though as I've seen people do that and it ruins the grip and cushioning of the ball quickly."
"The first was for myself, the second was a gift, and this most recent purchase was a replacement for the first which got stolen :/. When properly inflated, this ball has a soft feel with a good consistent sound and bounce."
"We purchase a lot of these basketballs in different sizes for the players in the family (age 11 and 38)."
"Grip is great even with sweaty hands and has a great bounce to it (i.e. doesn't have that abnormally high bounce you sometimes get with other balls when driving fast down the lane)."
"Noticed a while ago that my ball needle entry point comes out."
"I like the Wilson NCAA Solutions ball better, but most seem to like to use this ball in my son's games."
