Absolutely great!
Ordered this in March 12 and was told that it will be at my house on the 16th. However, I get a knock on my door and the goal was here on the same day (March 12). Set it up and here it is!! I really enjoy it! The process took all day because I was by myself but the process was worth it! For its price and the satisfaction of putting it together, it was worth it!

    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.

    This is a GREAT purchase!
    Assembling was a slight challenge and it's a little wobbly, but all in all, this is a GREAT purchase. My son loves it. He is able to raise/lower to his desired height without assistance. The overall quality of the hoop is excellent. Highly recommend!

    Nice hoop
    The packaging definitely needs an upgrade. The first one shipped to us had huge holes on the box. We had them replace it and it was a huge improvement(see attached for both boxes). Also, the instructions could be better organized. Other than those things, the hoop is a huge hit with the kids. They love it and that makes it worth the headache of assembling. This system is a great value for the price ($200). We are pleased with this purchase.

    I haven't opened it yet but I was scared of the backboard being broken and have missing pieces so hopefully when my boyfriend and I set it up, it's not broken and won't have any missing pieces. I was also worried about my package being lost because 19 minutes after checking my status update. It said my package was being delayed. Luckily it delivered on time.

    Christmas gift/ disappointed
    Received this package today. As you can see in the pictures evidently the box was dropped and smashed, which is evidently what caused it to bust open. This is a Christmas gift

    Poor quality Basketball hoop
    Horrible product! Quality has gone way downhill on this basketball goal. I purchased the same hoop in 2015 and it lasted almost 6 years and for a basketball hoop sitting outside for that long is pretty good. This brand new hoop lasted less than a week before the backboard became very unsteady and tilted. Polycarbonate backboard is terrible, do not get a goal with this type of backboard, I guess it's cheaper than acrylic which they used to use. Assembly is also a nightmare and will take 2 people several hours to put together, and even if put together correctly construction is so poorly designed that basket will shake and tilt every time you shoot the ball. I suggest you find a better goal than this even if you have to spend a bit more $ it will be worth it.

    Walmart doesn't replace for quality issues/defects
    The base doesn't hold the water. After 1 month of summer weather, It leaked out overnight. Then on a mildly windy day, the entire basket ball hoop blew over and dented, just missing my car! Walmart wants me, a single mother, to bring the entire 54" basketball hoop and base to the store for a replacement. I am contacting Spalding directly.

    Simply it's great! Takes a bit to install but A
    Great basketball court! Great price! People come over and think I paid big bucks for it. would recommend having two people build it but one person is duable. Best way to build is to lay out all the parts and follow the instructions. Hardest part is to line up the 3 pipes again FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS! After it's all done make a swoosh! It will feel great!!

    Value price, quality product , family fun!
    Great value for the $$ after you put everything together, the instructions are HORRIBLE ! The box I received looked like it went into a war zone, the delivery company left the box in the middle of my driveway while no one was home and the condition of the box was terrible, fortunately the product wasnt damaged. Overall were pleased with the quality of the product and the price, just plan on lots of time to assemble due to instructions not being very clear. Definitely a two person job! Once together, the product is great and my kids enjoyed it so far, hopefully the product will hold up over time.

    Quality hoop for the money!
    Overall it seems like a pretty decent hoop, especially for the money. The look is good. Ball return is nice. I like the angled post as well. Looks much nicer than what some of our neighbors have in their driveways. We haven't been able to really use it yet since it's been raining non stop for the last 5 days, but I'm sure it will hold up. As far far as what I disliked.... The box it came in had a basketball sized hole on the face of the box (other buyers reported the same thing for them). You could see all the content inside of it. I was worried some things would be missing, but I got lucky and it was all still there. The instructions were pretty vague and the different assembly packages weren't labeled correctly, so you had to be paying attention to details such as size of bolts and such. Plan for about 4 to 6 hours to put it together and you will have to have at least one other person to help. You will need a saw horse to use as well towards the middle of the assembly process.

    Great quality for the price
    After looking at several websites, this was by far the best value for the quality of hoop it is. I saw several reviews about the difficulty of putting the hoop together, however I would tell you that my 10-year-old daughter and I put it together - just the 2 of us – in a total of about 3 hours or less. We are also impressed with the quality for the price. Highly recommend.

    Amazing Basketball System, best in class
    I do very thorough reviews of products before I decide what to buy. First, I am glad I did not get anything less than 54in, would have been too small even for my 6 and 10y old girls. Second, this is a solid product as it can be for portable hoops. The adjustment is the easiest to use and comes handy when having kids with much difference in age. Aesthetically, this is a very pleasing unit to the eyes and can be proud to have in your driveway. The bottom protective pieces is a nice touch but also great for safety. It took me a bit less than two hours to assemble with the help of my 6 and year old girls (good to have someone hand you tools, screws and nuts). It did help that I also previewed a YouTube video that made the instructions easier to follow. Finally, Walmart had the best price of all including Amazon (and I buy everything from Amazon). I had the option to order and pick up in store or free delivery. The latter worked great.

    Took some time...but worth it!
    It took me about 4hrs to assemble. Follow the directions closely! The last hour, I needed the assistance of my adult son for attaching the backboard. I'm pretty handy...but it still took some time..... but we really enjoyed it once it was assembled!!! I believe it will last for years! Very solid!

    Awesome for the price!!
    We took 7 long hours to assemble this hoop. The manual was very accurate and Spalding did a good job at retaining their name!! Very well instructions given and parts were accurate. Final product was very nice and my boys love it. Thankyou Walmart for the home delivery of this heavy hoop!!
