Lifetime 1533 44" Acrylic Fusion Backboard Portable Basketball System

Awesome basketball hoop!!! My son loves it as well as the other kids on the street (even the adults).

Got for 8 year old boy loves it!! Is out there every day shooting hoops as he calls it.

This was fairly easy to put together, once we figured out which way was up! ;)
Our daughter has already had hours of enjoyment with it, with many more to come. We really like the adjustable height. Was a good buy!

Product is a good value and is fine for my 9 yr old. Even the older kids in the neighborhood seem to like it. It's not like one you would see in a gym and you do have to adjust with a broom but that's easy. Excellent product for the price. It does take about 2.5 hrs to put together but I think any goal would take that long. Pictures in the instructions could be better but if you read carefully you can do it.

I did receive the product much faster than was anticipated.
It is a good product but very hard to put together. I have had it 3 weeks now and it is still in pieces. Directions are not easy to understand. It also came with a wrong size bolt. I had to go buy another one to continue. The adjustable arm is the hardest part to put together.

My 13 and 9 year old sons love this basketball system. Knowing that the backboard frame is plastic, I thought it would be somewhat flimsy. But it's sturdier than expected. Also, to my surprise, it's made in USA. You're not going to find a better value for a portable basketball system with an easy height adjustment mechanism. Keep in mind that this is an intermediate system. So it does not support dunk shots and hanging on the rim. If your kids are civilized, this product should last quite a while.

The kids love the goal but the adults had some trouble getting it together. The directions weren't as defined as we would have liked.

I purchased this basketball hoop for my 10 year old daughter. She loves it!! It is very sturdy and was fairly easy to put together as my husband put it together all by himself. I would definitely recommend it.

Waiting for over a week for delivery was excruciating, but it did arrive I set off with my 6 year old to pick it up. The box was JUST big enough that it did not want to fit into my compact SUV. It would have if I laid the back seat down, but as my son was with me, I threw it on top and drove home.

While setup for me was not simple, it was not the beastly experience that some reviewers imply here; I put it together by myself in about 60 minutes. The instructions are not perfect, but only because they offer no hints about the method to their madness. About one third of the way through, I began to understand the logic of the instructions. Most of the hardware bags are numbered and they relate to the numbers on the instructions. You also have to look at the pictures closely. I suggest a complete walk-through review of the instructions before you actually start.

The quality of backboard is better than I expected. It will certainly withstand my son for a couple of years or more. The adjustment mechanism is rather rough and could be a finger biter if one is not careful. It does the job, however. Contrary to the warnings, I used water, not sand and I consider it to be very safe.

All in all, I am happy with this product. Putting it together required thought, patience, and some commonsense. Once together, it is everything a 6-10 year old needs I expect it will last until my 6 year old is 10. For the money, I don't think anyone could go wrong with this purchase.
