Excellent Hoop System!
Excellent replacement for an old hoop system. Package was delivered in two days and had all the parts necessary. Instructions were clear and took about 4.5 hours to put together by myself. Would be easier with two people. My son loves the new hoop and it has a great solid backboard sound. Was on sale so scooped it up and could not be happier!

    Bad product and bad customer service
    They sent a defensive item and it took us long time to put it up and found out the base is broken so it can’t hold the water to make the basketball hoop steady. The entire hoop shakes every time winds blows. It’s dangerous to it it like this. So we asked for return, but the customer rep told us to disassemble it and return it. We don’t have the original box anymore and we are not able to spend another few hours disassemble it.

    Great for the kids!
    Took me and my wife 2 hours to put together. Definitely need 2 people, makes it go a lot faster. Looks to be a solid build, and kids already enjoyed it. Filled the base up about half with water since we still have snow on the ground, and plan on putting sand bags on it as well to keep it upright from the wind. For the money, it’s definitely worth it. Some people had a bad experience with the condition of the box, but ours arrived in great shape, and all parts were inside. Great hoop for the kids to use for the next few years. If you’re having trouble putting it together, there is a YouTube video that helps. Enjoy!

    Package came fast and heavily damaged. Completely absurd instructions and difficult to put together. Was missing a bolt and the back board was extremely dirty and scratched up eventhough it had a protective film on it. We ended up finding an exact bolt at lowes delaying the 5 hr process of assembly. Once completed it seems to work as advertised and son seemed happy about it. I think it is lil unbalanced and the backboard rattles quite a bit on bankshots. I am overall happy with the purchase only because my son needed a nee gial badly and it was on sale. Slightly disappointed with the condition, assembly and overall sturdiness of this goal. I give it a 7.5/10 overall.

    Directions are sorta weird but, it took about 2 hours to assemble by myself. It's very sturdy. Polycarbonate is better than acrylic so the price is very reasonable

    Good Adjustable Goal
    Things I liked about this goal was it was reasonably priced but seemed to be good quality. I like the fact that it raises and lowers to different heights.

    54 Spalding basketball goal for Christmas
    Item arrived in terrible condition. It looks like the threw a bunch of cardboard together and duct taped it to secure it. Im afraid to pick it up as it may fall apart when i do. There are puncture holes all over box and it is soaked

    I hope that the goal is in working order, but I'm not happy about the condition of the box. After spending this amount of money, I would hope the package would be taken better care of.

    The delivery was fast, but the packaging was badly damaged, like it was returned! I didn't choose to return it because it was very heavy, and the installation was not very easy!

    Good value for the price
    Very nice and sturdy goal. It was a little hard to follow the instructions for assembly and I did it with the help of my 12 year old son. We got it done and it wasn't so bad. He is very happy about this new goal and how it is adjustable. Good value for the price.

    Not good
    Box came completely damaged and open all over were holes. It was repackaged and taped up. There's hardware missing from the box so I couldn't complete the assembly.

    I want a refund
    Trash. Both were in all kind of bags not in the same group for each section very confusing. Communication with Spalding was trash. This isn't mom friendly to put together OK they could have done better I'm never ordering anything else from Spalding I don't buy your basketballs and I never will.

    Fully happy !!
    After a long research, we did buy a good product from Walmart. My son loves it and he is enjoying it with his friends in our street.

    Bad quality rim
    In less than 3 months, the rim started to break. I forgot to submit the complain before the 90 days of warranty. I bought it on March 30th.

    Difficult and crooked assembly
    The assembly instructions were quite difficult, and the main pole unit's drilled holes are not centered - so the entire hoop is off-kilter. Quite ridiculous looking, really. Other than that, it seems like it should do the trick once we get replacement parts from Spalding.
