In-Ground Basketball System, 10/26/2009
By SKKMom, Thomasville, NC
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

Very pleased with product and ease of height adjustment. Good value for cost of product. If using a quick-set cement, be careful to place pole BEFORE cement sets. We waited too long to place pole and were unable to drive it all the way through the cement to correct ground depth. This resulted in a range of heights higher than product specifications. However, we are still able to adjust to standard 10 feet, but can adjust downward only to about 8 1/2 feet.

My son was very haapy to receive this for his 8th birthday. Took a couple of days for my husband to assemble and get the hole ready. Great price when comparing with other stores. And the adjustable height is a great feature that will make this useful for many years.

good for the money, 09/30/2009

Assembly took a few hours, directions are not the greatest, but were usable. The backboard is not thick at all. I was thinking it would be about 1/4 inch, It is about an 1/8" thick. basket ball system shakes side to side after you shoot a basket, I am going to cement the entire pole. Overall a good system for the money.

enjoying the goal, 08/25/2009
By TexanDad, West Texas
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

We've had the goal now for a few weeks and are really enjoying it. It is reasonably sturdy and has a nice bounce off the backboard. Not too difficult to put together. I think it will last for some time.

I thought the instructions could have been better! It took me and my son around 2 1/2 hours to assemble this backboard and pole! The base pole instructions were very simple and straight forward!
My Grand Kids love this system! I have purchased other Lifetime products in the past and they really stand by their products!

You can not beat this backboard and rim for the price. The directions arent perfect but assembly is pretty easy. The up and down handle works really well. I used to have to use a broom handle for my last net. If you are looking for an entry level in-ground set, I would reccomend it.

Great Buy, 07/25/2009

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

I used the Site to Store service and it was great. The box looked like it just came off the shelf. The directions were very clear except for the amount of cement. The directions don't specify what size of bags their talking of when suggesting 6 bags. I ended up using 10 1/2 - 50 lbs. bags in a hole 2 1/2 feet deep by 18 inches wide. The whole assembly went very smoothly. My two young boys enjoyed helping put all the hardware together. My father help hoist the backboard/pole up onto the cemented pole. We're having load of family fun. This is a great buy!

Hoop went to together fairly easy. Only thing I could say is watch your nuts and bolts as there is no rhyme or reason to the way that they are bagged. Very nice and very happy with the system.

Used ship to store - great feature to save shipping costs. This unit is very nice. The directions for digging the hole and putting the whole system together are very well done. Some of the smaller parts need to be labeled better.

The system was easy to put together and works great. For the money you could not find a better hoop. It is a little wobbly but the only way to get more sturdiness would be to buy a 1000 expensive system.

The install was very easy and it is a blast. I have some younger kids so the adjustable backboard allows everyone to make the shots. Its a blast for everyone. Very sturdy and great looking. Its a great changed from teh mobile unit that I had before. I expect we will get many years of enjoyment out of it.

This goal is made well, it's very sturdy. I priced the same one at Toysrus and Dicks Sporting Goods and their price was $399 for the same model!!! Wal-mart has a great price on this item. I would recommend to anyone...

Thought it would be much harder to put up than it was. Really went up with no problem and I am very happy we choose the in-ground model.
Sum it up - easy put together and quality materials.
Thanks Lifetime for the product and thank you Wal-mart for the great price.
