Misleading description

The description on this baskeball hoop clearly states "can extend from 7.5ft to 10ft", it doesnt. It can only go to 7.5ft which is extremely frustrating. Returning immediately.

Great youth sized goal! Fun for all ages and memories to be made!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I grew up with basketball being a huge part of my life! I was unable to bring my old basketball goal with me to my new house, so this is an exciting feature to add to my home! Assembly took two people and less than an hour to complete with the both of us. It was simple to do with the QR code in the instructions, most of the installation was able to be completed by one person. It was packaged up very well and each piece was protected from bumps encountered during shipping transit. My favorite feature is the adjustable height powder-coated pole that goes from 5.5 feet to 7.5 feet. When the kids are playing I can keep it at a height they are comfortable with and when I feel like getting outside and shooting a few hoops I can raise it to a height I enjoy. It has telescoping adjustment, so it takes less than a minute to adjust! It has a 30-inch steel frame polycarbonate backboard which is the perfect type for bounce and rebounds! The net being “All-Weather” is a great feature to have as in the past my nets have all dry rotted within a year of use. I was very impressed with how durable it is and how it has held up to even the adults that have been playing too.

Quick and Adjustable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We recently received this basketball hoop and have been outside playing with it everyday. We used the app with the video instructions and it was so easy. We needed two people for attaching the backboard and rim to the stand. Filling the base was quick and added that extra stability. I love that it has wheels to easily move around. My favorite part is that it will grow with my kids with the ease of the adjustable knob!

Great Customer Service and Product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were so excited to receive our package for the Lifetime Basketball Hoop and got started assembling right away. I read the instructions, got the necessary supplies and went to work. I often have a difficult time assembling anything so I was sure to read and re-read the instructions multiple times. When I went to attach the hoop and board I realized I had incorrectly assembled the poles. Not only that, but the instruction that says “This is irreversible!” is the one I messed up on even though I had checked three times and was sure I was doing it correctly. I was so stressed out that I had done that. Thankfully when I called customer service they told me they allow a one time customer assembly error and sent me out new poles free of charge. They saved the day! When I received the new poles I was able to quickly put it together and get my basketball loving girl playing. I suggest if you have difficult times following instructions, like myself, to assemble along with the suggested video that comes with the assembly instructions. I should have done that the first time. I really like the adjustable hoop height so that it can grow with my daughter. I can also put it higher if my husband and I want to play. The other feature I like is that it easily rolls out of the way. The durability seems really great. The metal is well coated with protective paint and the plastic bottom is thick and will definitely withstand play and the elements.

Perfect Youth Goal

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This youth basketball goal is the great starter goal for your kiddos. I have 3 boys age 8, 6, and 3 and this works perfectly for all their ages. Assembly took about 45 minutes. The instructions are pretty clear but I would recommend watching the YouTube video that is linked in the instructions as it is easy to follow along. My biggest piece of advice is make sure you have your poles facing the right direction before you set them because it's irreversible. There are a few steps that it would be helpful to have two people present in my opinion. The goal seems very durable. My boys have gotten out there and shot some hoops as have I just to make sure it wouldn't topple. I'm pleased to say I can play as well without any movement from the goal. I love that the height is adjustable so we will be able to get many years of play from the goal. The wheels are an added bonus because there are times we may want to switch it up from the front yard to the back yard. Overall this is a must buy to add to your yard!

Love This!

Purchased this item for my 4 year old and 8 year old sons, this is the perfect size hoop for them! Currently they play this in the garage but it seems durable enough to handle outdoor weather. I do wish the backboard was a tad bigger but so far so good it does extremely well for their size. I am a solo female parent so I tackled assembly alone, which was simple and quick enough if you follow directions via youtube., Took me about 40 -50 mins. However, I would recommend another set of hands to help put the backboard on the pole, that took some strategy. Other than that I would definitely recommend this hoop to others.
