Initial impression: a good backboard, but hard to assemble. We went through Lifetime to have it installed. The installers — termed technicians — were great. The middle men were very disappointing, repeatedly confusing virtually all details. Very Glad I bought this. This company stands behind their products. I had to get some replacement parts and they were more than helpful in making sure I was taken care of. Not difficult to assemble at all. Only took a couple of hours once the concrete had cured for the bottom post. If you don’t mind hark work. The product is good for the price, instructions for installation is clear, but it’s hard work. I divided process to 3 days, 1 day to dig a big hole, 1 day to fill in concrete, 1 day to put it all together. It takes about 4 adults to complete the final step. 1 Quality product2 Great price3 Instructions and supporting app made installation a breeze. My boys love the basketball goal but I wish I would’ve realized it wasn’t a glass backboard. It’s made of a plastic material which makes the ball not bounce back/rebound vey well. It was also difficult for my husband to put together (who is actually very handy). For the price though, it’s a great value! The easy adjust is so easy. I bought this 1 month ago and it’s great! Had some fitment issues, they sent new parts no question. Professional instructions and packaged together for easer assemblies. Easy install and good product. Everything arrived quick and all parts neatly in bags inside box. LOST SOME OF THE HARDWARE IN A FLOOD AND BOOKLET WAS BADLY DAMAGED AS WELL. THEY WERE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS NEEDED. Great goal, great customer service. I bought this goal several years ago and it is exactly what my boys needed. We moved and it was easy to get new poles and new hardware to install the goal at the new house. All the reviews were correct. Very high quality for the price and easier to install than expected. Very easy to put together. I had help from from an eight year old, and 11 year old. Took about 2 hours. Came in one package. My husband was able to install by himself. My son LOVES it! It was his bday gift (he turned 11). Was surprised on how easy it was to raise and lower the basket. Was not at all easy to put together though. Took my husband and I almost 5hrs. We’ve only had it in the ground for a week but the kids have shot on it every night. Honestly this thing was a piece of cake to put in. Took me about two hours to assemble and another hour to put in ground. And I did it by myself standing in a truck bed. Backboard was a little smaller than I anticipated. I weigh 180 lbs and dunked it and the whole thing shook so I doubt I’ll be doing that again. I did put in the extra concrete in the pole up about 7 feet like the other reviews suggested, and ordered the pole pad. I think it’s a steal. And it looks good from the curb too. Looks like it will be standing for years. Good quality for the price. Recommend going with the ground sleeve to install it. Just received and not up yet, but the instructions are some of the best I’ve seen over the last 40+ yrs. Just from that, I’m hoping for a long lifetime of service. This review was collected as part of a promotion. Fairly easy to assemble however you should be prepared to spend all day putting it together. Took a couple hours to dig the hole and get the bottom post cemented in, then several more hours assembling the rest. Instructions were easy to follow and the quality seems to be top notch. Especially for the price paid. I think Lifetime could have preassembled some of the smaller pieces which would have saved time. Would have rated it 5 stars if it hadn’t taken 8 hours to assemble. Bought this and was missing a couple parts. Awesome customer service to match a great product! Great product, liked the adjustable hop height. One negative, bottom post rusted out from the inside. Small defect handled superbly. I bought this Basketball hoop a month ago and ran into a small issue that turned into a big issue but the customer service was outstanding. There was a plastic bubble in the handle that would not allow me to screw the handle all the way down. I tried to force the issue and things got jammed and could not be disassembled. I contacted customer service to admit my mistake and order new parts and they stepped up big time. The resent all the parts I needed and did not charge me because it was a defect on the handle. Lesson learned don’t try to fix a defect yourself and reach out to the awesome customer service team right away. So very happy I chose this brand and I will recommend them to everyone. Beside the tiny defect the quality is amazing. Bought this goal for Christmas gift for son. Quality products and always impressed. Takes time to build. Pay attention to setting pole in concrete correctly (key part of the job). For the price its a good basketball system. I also went with the inground sleeve to set the pole in, that way I can readjust the goal if it gets off center in a storm, or take it with me if I ever move. I can also use it to replace the pole if it ever wares out. I wouldn’t suggest dunking and hanging on rim, but it is sturdy. Package arrived damaged appeared it had been dragged across a wooden pallet a piece of wood was wedged between the backboard and steel frame, also missing sticker that tells height of rim. I called customer service who seemed helpful but they sent the wrong sticker. As far as the goal system goes it appears fairly stout, my sixteen yr old son put it together in about 3 hr. Nice that the backboard has a steel frame. Height adjustment is farly easy although at the 10′ it does not latch securely all the time. A little confusing on amount of concrete needed, one part said 6, 80# bags in another said 8, 80# bags it was the 8, 80# bags. Perfect goal for us. Easy to adjust height and sturdy. Only thing to note is that it takes some time to put together and at least two people. It wasn’t complicated but it was time consuming. This is a really nice system. My family and I enjoy having a basketball hope. I have had it up for a month now and it seems to be holding up really well. Should get at least 10 years out of this thing. Take your time reading the instructions and with the install. This is perfect for our family! It is nice and sturdy, some what easy to assemble. Directions can be slightly confusing. Couple of the bolts look like they are wrong size but weren’t. But overall excellent hoop! We plan to put an outdoor court up soon around it! Good for the price. A decent in ground system. I highly recommend getting a ground sleeve as well. It makes installation much easier. The backboard seemed a bit flimsy. However, once the system was up it held up well. The system looks cosmetically appealing. It does take a good 90 minutes at least to install. The directions are terrible. You have to improv a few things. You absolutely need 2 people at least to put together and install. I also bought a lifetime ground sleeve, which I was able to install myself. For the price you can’t do much better. A overall a very good in ground system. Our kids love it! Very happy with it! Nice goal for backyard fun! This goal is awesome! Right price & my kids are enjoying it! It can be a litte difficult for kids to raise by themselves if they’re around 12ish (I have short kids). My husband is 74 years old and he put this together for our great and our grand children He said it was easy to do by himself but needed help setting it up Height adjustment to lower or raise works real well. The basketball system was easy to order on the website and we received in perfect condition. Easy instruction but just takes time since we anchored the bottom piece in cement which had to set for several hours. Grandson is happy to play ball again. In ground basketball pole. Delivered way ahead of schedule. Very good and detailed instructions. It has never had any problems and it’s great for the younger kids to play on as well and the adults. It is so fun! Lots of pieces but not difficult to assemble if one is careful. Very nice appearance and high-quality finish on all components. Only two concerns: 1 Directions are thorough but require lots of referencing back and forth to be sure the correct component is being used. I only made one mistake, and it was fairly easy to correct. 2 The plastic on the backboard is fairly thin, about 1/4′. Strength comes from the steel frame. Be aware that this is NOT a heavy, solid plastic backboard like those you encounter in schools and rec centers. Seems to work well. Requires 2-3 people and 2 ladders to install. The instructions were obviously written by someone that hadnt assembled one of these. The hardware pictures, numbers and descriptions didnt match the actual parts provided. Great product, quality construction we are very happy, great value for the price too. Great product easy to use and install. Better Than I Expected. I relied heavily on the reviews when I was shopping, so I thought I must return the favor for future shoppers. This BB system is better than I expected. You get what you pay for so I figured it would be safe to pick something in the middle. The reviews I read were fair, and I figured if something went wrong I could go to Wal-Mart and complain directly. Everything went together well. The instructions weren’t the best in the world but my son and I figured it out. We followed the instructions to a’T. The only complaint I have, the pole has some movement when the ball hits the backboard. Again, kind of goes with the territory. The adjustable height goes up and down smoothly. I was actually impressed with that. Overall, my son and I will definitely get our use out of it. Looks good in our driveway. Isn’t an eyesore, which my wife was scared of. Bare in mind, when you put the poles together at the end, you will need at least 3 strong adults. This basketball is great! Took 2 people one evening to put together and put it in the ground. It’s so easy to adjust the hieght on and for the price it’s hard to beat. I used the ground sleeve to mount the basketball system. A couple places the instruction had you figuring out how things went together. But could easily figure it out. Very easy to raise up and down. Good setup for the price. Decent goal, pole and backboard for the price. Instructions could be a little better but they aren’t that bad. Definitely need some adults to assemble and put up. Give yourself a few days due to concrete needing to set up. Great Product for a Great Price. Well, I couldn’t be more happy with this hoop. Such great quality and looks awesome too. It took two people to put together and it took about 4 hours. I highly recommend this system. Pretty good basketball hoop… The system showed up on our door step in a complete mess. Don’t know who delivered it either. The box was held together with binding straps. It was a miracle that nothing was missing. The box looked like it had fell into the ocean off a transport plane. Luckily everything was still there. Just make sure you get enough cement. When they say nine bags, they mean it. Our top priority at Vibrant Aging, is customer service.
