(2 pack) Spalding 60-Inch Portable Basketball Hoop with Acrylic Backboard, Screw Jack Lift & Arena Slam Rim-Outdoor Play

While this basketball hoop is awesome, and I mean all the neighbors turn their head awesome, be aware! This thing is super TOP HEAVY!!! You will definitely need TWO people to assemble and to put it in its place when lifting!!! In addition to filling with water or sand, you will also need to get at least Two large boulders or a few bags of sand to place on top of the base to weigh it down. Filling it will not be enough as I previously said, this thing is super TOP HEAVY!!! Good luck!

I like the overall design of this model, but I was expecting better quality (3 out of 4 corners of acrylic board have separation from metal frame) and it should have more parts to prevent rain water getting into 4 steel arms at the position (7' 1/2 and 8' height for kids) as in attached photo. Hopefully I could get hold with manufacturing support to get the 4 caps to cover the supporting arms and the specialty glue for fixing separation between acrylic board and metal frame.

Pros - 1. Delivered by next day morning. Amazing Delivery service. 2. Excellent price. can't beat this anywhere Cons - 1. pretty much banged up carton. Torn and parts appearing outside. Not sure if all the parts are there or any dropped out I am yet to install it, so can't review the quality of it yet.

Although the quality of this item is solid, the directions both printed and online, were conflicting. Additionally the pieces did not fit together well and required much modification. Lastly calling Spalding directly was not much help.

The product has defect and the system is extremely difficult to install even after we hired professional handyman with all the tools required. The three supporting beam could not go in and overlap with the requires distance. We slammed jackhammer with protective wood scraps on both ends and they just won't budge. In addition, the acrylic backboard already started to unglue from the frame during the installation process. Not sure how long it will last under the sun in the backyard before it completely fall off. I would totally return it if I could. But it's impossible to take apart, especially the supporting beams. Very disappointed about this product.

If you are someone who likes a challenge, has a ton of patience, has a ton of free time, and is physically strong, this is the hoop for you. it comes poorly packages where there is barely any protection on the rim so you first have to check for damage. If none, great. the dorections seem sinple enough and they offer it to you via video and paper, but we couldnt get past the forst steps. the poles do not easily fit together and even after calling customer support and trying multiple things, it is nearly impossible. They even put warnings about it not fitting in the dorections, so clearly its something semi common due to it being poorly made. my suggestion, get a diff one or pay for someone to set it up, not worth the time or energy.

Poles did not fit together. Instructions were horendous. Customer Service was totally uncooperative and did nothing to help. They sent replacement parts and they were incorrect. If I sent you a copy of the customer service email even you would be angry

Assembling the post (step 1 and 2) was not possible. It's supposed to be difficult to pound together, but if a 6'1" 285%23 30 something can't do it, there is problem with the product. I turned 4 boards into splinters banging it together, even started to bend the steel. Called spalding and they said try a rubber mallet and hung up on me. There are videos online of people getting them put together, but I suspect those were pre-Walmart enshitification models.

Crappy product. The base is so flimsy, missing parts, some nuts and bolts. We had a hard time to put this together and stand it up with sand bags. The side support beams broke off from the base and its lying on my driveway. Wonder if I can return this without the box and get something that actually works.

I don’t know anything yet, there wasn’t any directions so I’m not going to try to put it together. So how many times will I do something and it be wrong, then I would have to take it back apart and start over !! Please send me the instructions ‼️‼️😡🤬
