Like many others have stated in their reviews, this thing is a BEAST to put together. That's why I'm giving this only 4 stars. There are some reviewers that state if you take your time and follow the instructions carefully and to-the-letter then set-up is not difficult. That may be so if you're skilled with power tools, have experience with woodworking or other shop work. But if you're the typical guy with no power tools in his garage and have little if any experience in this line of work, then you WILL have problems with set up. Those who claim this set up is simple is like tech support telling you over the phone "this is so easy! Anyone can do this!". Or a brain surgeon saying "Doing a craniotomy to remove a tumor in your brain is so simple! Anyone can do it!" Also, I firmly believe that there are many steps in the set-up that could have been done already by the manufacturer while not adding to the size of the shipping box. Here's my take on this:
1] YOU CAN NOT DO THIS WITHOUT AN ELECTRIC DRILL. Do whatever you have to do (buy/rent/borrow/steal) to get your hands on an electric drill. Within 30 minutes of set-up you'll find yourself faced with a big...

レビューにあるように組み立てが複雑。大人二人必要というよりは大人3人+電動工具でしたね。説明書もあまり詳しい表記がされてなかったりで組み立てにかなり時間を要しました。
商品は格好いいんですけどね。

Ordered our hoop with FREE SuperSaver shipping, and it arrived in good condition 6 days later. That's great service for a 100+ lb package traveling 2300 miles. Well done, UPS and Lifetime!
I assembled the hoop entirely by myself, at a careful pace, in a little over 5 hours. The instructions say 2 adults are required, but you can manage by yourself if you have a couple sawhorses for the backboard assembly, and can find a way to stabilize the base/pole while you attach the backboard. I leaned the pole on a sawhorse and wedged the base against a wall with chock-blocks. Worked fine.
I found the instruction booklet (dated 3/31/2012) to be very good, with well-defined steps and plenty of accurate illustrations. I'd rate it 4-1/2 stars out of 5. Doesn't get 5 because: First, the use of arbitrary 3-letter sequences as part identifiers makes it unnecessarily tedious to read the diagrams. Label the top pole section TPS if you want, but not ALH(?), come on! Second, it would be nice if the many bags of small parts were labeled. They were mostly grouped by step, which was helpful, but were unmarked. I strongly advise assemblers to leave the parts in...

Amazon カスタマー: レビューを見て組み立てが大変と覚悟していましたが、筋トレマシーンに比べれば遥かに簡単でした。ゴールとしての性能は素晴らしいが、高さ調整が思ったよりスムーズじゃないのがマイナス点です。
