Find Best Price at Amazon"Mind you, I was a bit skeptical at the price, but in the end, I locked and loaded on this one and am very happy. 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."
"The product is okay for what you are paying."
"pain in the.... To set up, but worth the smile on my daughters face!"
"Love the hoop - wish it was easier/more convenient to adjust the height of the hoop!"
"My 10 year old granddaughter loves this and so do the other neighborhood kids."
"Have two active boys in the home; four and six years old. And with a 5 year factory warranty it'll be around until these two are using a regular hoop."
"Sections where top and bottom met cracked/split."
"Also, the holes are not aligned flush with the corresponding holes. I also am disappointed that the holes to use sand (base of goal) are so small(width and depth of base)...it is so frustrating.Thus, we just piled sand bags on top of the base."

"My son received the glow in the dark hoop for Christmas."
"Very durable."
"Well made hoop and easy to put together and hand over the door."
"This is a great product and my son loves it as a in between stress reliever during homework time."
"This is definitely a great xmas gift or any time of the year gift."
"Our grandsons love this."
"Sadly, not thirty minutes ago he went to make a basket with the second ball and the whole bottom half of the backboard sheared off! He did get a lot of enjoyment out of it whilst it was whole and intact however, the fact that it is now in two pieces and unusable after only a year leads me to correct my initial review. We have no place to put an actual hoop as our driveway is on a hill so when I saw this I thought it might be just what my son needed. He has been begging for a basketball hoop for years and if we lived anywhere else but on a steep hill we would have installed one long ago."

"This thing is awesome for the money."
"However, shipping was quick (Amazon Prime, worth the money just for this item alone) and comes secured to a wooden pallet. It is a two day process due to the concrete needing to harden but actual install time is only two or three hours plus the time to dig the hole."

"The only reason I took off a star is it really needs to have a screw (or two) put in right above the rim on the backboard. In your own home and setup with the screws as I described this thing will provide HOURS of fun, even for dad."
"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."

"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."
