This basketball hoop was easy to assemble. My husband only needed my help a few times. You can tell that the materials were high quality because it stands very sturdy. It was easy to wheel over to where we wanted it and filling it up with the hose then moving it again was easy. As long as you have two people. I just wish it came with a basketball, but it worked with our little tikes basketball for now. Highly recommend!

We put this together the day we got because we were so excited to use it! And it did not disappoint!! Assembly wasn't too bad. It recommends 2 people to assemble, but my husband basically did it by himself. It took maybe 45 min-1 hr. From start to finish. Just be aware that you'll need a 1/2" wrench to assemble. Our favorite feature is the wheels making it easy to move and store. We also love the dolphin on the backboard. But the biggest thing we love is how durable and sturdy it is. We had a bunch of high school football players use it and I was a little nervous because they are huge and rough on things, but I only saw it move once and that's because 280 lbs dunked on it! It has held up amazingly well and is an extremely great product. We couldn't be happier with it! P.s. it doesn't come w a ball. Not a big deal, we just didn't realize that when it came.

I bought a pool side basketball net several years ago and the salt of the pool has deteriorated the steel hardware. I accept this as normal wear and tear. I have dealt with this company over the last 10 years on several occasions, and every time I do so, the experience has been excellent. No hassles, just a willingness to assist. Excellent overall products and service!

Received our new hoop a few weeks back and man does it do the job! This thing is meant to be USED. We’ve been through a few other hoops but this one definitely takes the cake. My teenagers can be pretty tough on things and this hoop has stood up very well so far. A few tips for a successful build! You definitely need TWO people! Lots of holding and balancing while attaching parts. Second! Get some sort of an electric drill to help really tighten up your hoop. And third! Where’s the ball?? Haha we were so excited to get going and once it was built we realized it didn’t come with a ball. Overall very happy and would highly recommend!!

We recently received this poolside hoop and can already tell that it will live up to the Lifetime name, and quality. It was fairly easy to put together with two of us, but definitely recommend a box to set the backboard up on while installing hoop. My kids have thoroughly enjoyed playing with it in the pool already and know it will be a staple for a very long time. The only downside, according to my 11 year old son, is that he can’t dunk on it! I told him he just needs to grow a little more….ha!

We just set up our new Lifetime pool basketball hoop. My kids and I loved it. It will add a lot of extra fun to our pool activities. The assembly was mush easier than I expected. It only took about 45 minutes with some help from my 10 year old son. I was also very presently surprised by how sturdy it is when the base is filled with water. I have played on other pool hoops that fall into the pool constantly. This one is very firm, even when my kids were dunking on it. I anticipate this will last us many years to come. Very good value for the price. Highly recommend!

This basketball hoop is amazing! I have several teens, that have loved playing with this. The instructions were very clear and easy, one adult and one teenager put this together in about 30-45 minutes. This hoop is very sturdy and strong, several teens have played quite rough for hours and it has held up. This hoop is easy to move and the plastic is durable and well made.

Loving our new pool basketball hoop! It didn’t take too long to assemble (around 1 hour for my husband by himself) and instructions were straight forward. It is sturdy and I love the height of the hoop which prevents kids from hanging on it. It feels durable and like it will last us awhile. t definitely puts our old basketball hoop to shame. Would highly recommend!!

We LOVE this hoop! We are huge Lifetime fans, and this is another great product. Assembly was very straightforward, they packaged the parts/steps individually which made finding hardware and parts so much easier! Only a standard wrench was needed. It’s small and light enough to do with one person, but having two makes it just a little easier. It fits through door ways, so it was a bonus to be able to assemble inside too. The quality and durability is excellent. Every component was very well made with a high level of precision, and you can tell it will withstand years of intense sun and chlorine and still look like new. So many products now look great in photos are cheaply manufactured when you see them in person, and this isn’t one of them. I appreciated the substantial base, because I’ve seen poolside basketball hoops tip over when a game gets rowdy or with wind. This isn’t going anywhere! With the wheels on the front, it’s still easy to move around with just one person. I love the modern look of the shark design! It makes it feel unique and custom. The design is so well done and placed on the back of the backboard, so it won’t scratch or fade. We can’t wait to get a second one for full scale games!

Assembly was hard. Our instructions that came in the box told us to do it the wrong on page 13. We downloaded the instructions from the website and were able to do it correctly. Our kids have loved it and have spent to much time using it already even though it's not peak swimming season. It is super heavy duty and we are impressed with it. The only reason for the 4 stars is because of the assembly.
