I ordered this for my 12yo son so he could shoot hoops anytime he wants to in our driveway as the hoops at the parks and schools always seem to be in use and unavailable for him. The package was shipped directly to the house via FedEx at no-charge. The package just barely falls within their limits for delivery on a standard delivery van. The FedEx driver backed up the van within 2 feet of my garage so he wouldn't have to lift and/or carry the package to the house. The package was pretty roughed up and when I tried to move it, and nuts and washers started to fall out of the corners of the box (a parts bag had ripped open inside). Fortunately, everything was there and all the pieces were in good condition. It took me about two hours to fully assemble the system with ... MoreI ordered this for my 12yo son so he could shoot hoops anytime he wants to in our driveway as the hoops at the parks and schools always seem to be in use and unavailable for him.

It took me about two hours to fully assemble the system with my son - might have even gone faster had the directions been a little bit better. It is a very sturdy kit and the mechanism to raise and lower the net works well and easily. The footprint of the base for this unit is quite large at about 3'w x 5'd x 6"t. While the unit is portable, it is barely movable when filled with water at 8lb per gallon. With sand at 13lb per gallon, it would probably be unmovable. I like this unit in terms of price & quality and my son likes it, so I think this was a good purchase.

Not a bad product if you can assemble it. I am a fairly handy guy and I found putting this together very challenging. The instructions are not user friendly. There are 148 parts none of which are labelled but there is a parts list with descriptions which are confusing. For example Spacer .625 long inches? You need an assortment of tools including a horse (compost bin works well too!) and some not on the list such as a grinder and round file to make the parts fit.It was a 3 hour job. Also the main beam comes in 3 parts which you tap together causing them to wedge together - no bolts. The problem is that if they are sightly misaligned then you are stuck with a net that is slightly misaligned with the base. I did get it together and we had a great time using it. ... MoreNot a bad product if you can assemble it. I am a fairly handy guy and I found putting this together very challenging.

Functionally it worked fine. A little jittery compared to an in ground model. It is portable but filled with water it took two men to move it. I am not sure how portable it would be filled with sand in the base. Also be aware that the main beam is stored in the base which you have to unscrew the caps to find.

Like everyone else said the box arrived damaged and some of the plastic bags with the parts were ripped. Amazing nothing was lost. Assembly was quite simple compared with the horror stories people right in about. Just take your time and be prepared to have another adult to help with the final steps. Directions were very clear and helpful. I'm very happy with the quality of the unit and the look of the unit. It wobbles a little when you shoot but much better than the cheaper units out there. This is a very good quality product for a decent price. The easy adjust handle is well worth it compared to other models needing a wrench to use.

Great overall goal, but it was missing the two push nuts and the plastic front panel did not fit the base struts. The plastic front panel is decorative so we left it off the goal. Having said all of that we would buy it again! Once it's up you can rate it 5 stars.My husband is very handy and luckily had nuts to replace the missing parts. It still took him about 4 hours working by himself to assemble the goal and I can see if you were not gifted in the assembly department, putting the goal together could be overwhelming.
Like a lot of people, I read a lot of reviews about different portable and in-ground hoops before I bought this one. It's kind of a daunting task for a first-time hoop to purchase and install. So I wanted to give a few tips on my experience. This unit (Spalding 52" at $327) is overall an excellent deal. I know you can buy a $200 unit elsewhere, but this is a step up in quality. It's well-designed and the parts arrived in good condition. The parts were painted properly and the base is a reasonably tough plastic. It took me 3-4 hours to assemble, and I'm pretty good at this kind of stuff. Look inside the other parts if you can't find some -- I thought I was missing a plastic bushing, but it was inside one of the springs (spend 10-15 minutes making a new bushing before ... MoreLike a lot of people, I read a lot of reviews about different portable and in-ground hoops before I bought this one.

Other comments: the handle is easy to move up and down, with a quality feel. The backboard is pretty cool, with a NBA logo. I thought the acrylic backboard would be a bit thicker, but that's what you're paying for. Shooting around on it is fun -- it doesn't rattle too much ( any cheaper system, especially portable, will rattle somewhat). This is not a top-line hoop, but for what you're paying for (such as, less than $350) it's a good deal and fun hoop. Good luck.
My son loves it. Took a while to put together so allow a good afternoon to do so.Only issue was that virtually the last part to put on - a plastic cover that goes under the hoop - wasn't in the box. And oh boy we looked! So I've asked Rebel Sport for it to be sent.
Made this yesterday after 3 hours and when cilling with water it had a hole in the base. Tried to ask rebel sport for a new base and they couldn't give me just the base. So I went back and bought this whole set up again (900). I took it home and just went to get the base out and it again had a big crack in the base. 3 wasted hours and 2 cracked bases, never again. Rebel sport Palmerston North really fixed the issue and I left with a refund of one, a gift voucher and an upgraded basketball system which is fantastic. My boy now has the birthday present ever.
Not happy with this purchase, I ordered online thru Rebel Sports Silverdale, pick up the basketball system which is very heavy, started to assemble it at home, only to find out that the Base is missing,I returned to Rebel Sports Silverdale and got the replacement and I was told that they committed a mistake on giving me the system without the base. In short I made 2 trips to pick up this basketball system. Once we have installed the replacement Basketball system, another small part is missing which is the cover underneath the basketball ring, just did not bother to raise the issue with Rebel.
Bought for Xmas gift for son -- spent good part of an afternoon putting-together with him. I don't think the assembly was really that difficult, just some awkward moments trying to line-up holes and whatnot. Definitely will need to make sure you have something to prop-up the post on while assembling (the instructions suggest a sawhorse or table, but I found you need something a bit higher than that so used a 55 Gal trashbin that was full and worked perfect, esp when installing the rim). I was missing a single lock-nut, but a quick trip to the HD and something like 16 cents later was back in business. Otherwise, assembly was smooth...After all was assembled, I decided to fill with water and started doing-so while the backboard was tipped-forward. Once I felt it had ... MoreBought for Xmas gift for son -- spent good part of an afternoon putting-together with him.

Otherwise, assembly was smooth...After all was assembled, I decided to fill with water and started doing-so while the backboard was tipped-forward. Once I felt it had enough water, I stood-upright, and to my surprise saw water gushing out of the base around where the Pole attached to the base!! It did stop after a while, so I am assuming that I simply over-filled the base with water?? No way to know and don't see anything in the reviews or in the documentation to know whether seeing leaks from the pole base area is normal or not.... For safety, in case water continues to leak, I put 100lbs of sand on the base and a wood block in front of the wheels.So it's only been a day -- I like the system, feels solid enough (compared to the $2k in-ground system my neighbor has....) for casual play by early-teens. I'll update the review once I get more time with it.
It took 4 hours to assemble. Not very satisfied spending all that time to find out the short and long arms provided weren't sturdy enough to properly support the weight of the 54" backboard. I'm not sure if Spalding had a mix-up during assembly of this bball system or if the support arms have changed. I have seen solid tubes used with similar models; but this one has them flattened where it connects to the backboard; which doesn't make any sense to me.
