Very easy to put together. I had help from from an eight year old, and 11 year old. Took about 2 hours. I did buy the ground sleeve, which made installation much easier.

Hoop went to together fairly easy. Only thing I could say is watch your nuts and bolts as there is no rhyme or reason to the way that they are bagged. Very nice and very happy with the system.

Easy to put together. I am happy to share the experience of teaching my boys to play on a qulaity goal. Similar setups were twice as expensive elsewhere!

Initial impression: a good backboard, but hard to assemble. We went through Lifetime to have it installed. The installers -- termed technicians -- were great. The middle men were very disappointing, repeatedly confusing virtually all details.

My parents purchased a system similar to this when we first moved into the house they currently live in. We loved it!! It has never had any problems and it's great for the younger kids to play on as well and the adults. It is so fun!

Great hoop! Bought for my son and we used 180lbs of concrete holds perfect. Good quality and nice price point. Has a high quality look. Instructions are accurate and shipped with every part.

I installed the entire thing from start to finish including carrying assembled goal to install spot by myself. Reports of it being heavy and needing multiple people isn’t an absolute fact.

This is a very nice well built goal. The only drawback is you need a PHD to put it together, six bags of concrete and rebar. If you are not in a hurry to put it up, then this is the goal for you.

This goal is made well, it's very sturdy. I priced the same one at Toysrus and Dicks Sporting Goods and their price was $399 for the same model!!! Wal-mart has a great price on this item. I would recommend to anyone...

The top and middle pole sections were impossible to put together. The two sections are so close to the same diameter that it is impossible to insert the one into the other.
