Christine HicksChristine Hicks: Dislikes. The holes in the bottom section of the pole weren't big enough to accommodate the fixing bolts as shown in the photos I therefore had to buy some bolts that would fit!)
One of the fixing bolts that were supplied had a faulty thread & would not tighten up either. The locking screw was faulty too
These faults need correcting as it was extremely time consuming & frustrating.It definitely needs 2 people to assemble but once erected is ( at this point) very Sturdy.
Not used yet!

Michael Bailey: received the item 4/27/22. I was very unhappy with what I received. The item looked as though it was thrown around with several rips an holes on the box. Also it was wrapped several times with tape. I also am missing all the hardware to assemble.

Daniel Smith: The box arrived damaged but not the end of the world I guess.

I took out the various bits under close supervision of my youngest and we saw that you get three main poles, two external posts and the third post is inexplicably wrapped in tight plastic sheeting and what can only be described as forced into one of the other poles where it seems fused into it... WHY? WHY PUT THIS IN THERE? Really, really stupid manufacturing flaw.... I had to resort to watching the video as the inner pole just wouldn't come out no matter what I tried.

Typically, the bloke in the video sounded like a smug poor man's David Schwimmer with an annoyingly droney voice, managed to get the inner pole out with a flick of his wrist and a how dya do... Really f****g annoying.
That clearly didn't work for me so I took the said pole to my man cave to work on... I cut a piece of wood the exact diameter of the inner pole that wouldn't budge... I placed the cut block of wood into the smaller end section of the outer pole and whacked the wood with a hammer, very very hard... Schumph.!!! The inner pole popped out, I removed the fused plastic wrapping and I attained instant hero status with the kids...

KTKT: Was a bit worried about buying from the reviews about how difficult it was to put together. However, found the instructions pretty clear and simple to follow and usefully all the bolts and washers etc. came in a packet which clearly marked out which was which, a huge help. So felt brave enough to tackle on my own and managed to build everything in about 2 hours, only needing help from father-in-law for the final bit to connect the post to the base. That took some time but was my fault as our driveway is on a very slight incline so the bolts weren't lining up, when moved to even surface it went in fine. So my advice is to make sure you build on even ground. The worst bit was actually filling the base with sand. No problem if filling with water but it is hard work if filling with sand as only two small holes in middle of base, so constantly having to tilt it to move the sand around. A simple fix would be to have more holes in the base (possibly 6) evenly spread so you could fill different sections at a time. Hopefully it will be something this company do in the future. Only other complaint is that I am finding it quite difficult to manoeuvre as the wheels aren't great and because...

Pavel: Some pieces was made wrong

D. Stukes: Not sure why there are so many low ratings but this basketball system is great. I actually purchases mine at Walmart fir around the same price. The instructions were in English and included pictures and words. All of the parts are labeled with pictures and very easy to decifer. There is also an option to scan a Barcode with your phone that will take you to videos online that will show you exactly how to put it together. It took me and my 10 year old son 2 hrs to put it together and all pieces were included. It is extremely sturdy. This is an excellent buy and I highly recommend it.

*Maybe they made some changes but I was thoroughly pleased*

Da mir meine Frau schon seit geraumer Zeit in den Ohren lag, eine Basketballanlage zu erstehen, damit Sie mir ihre "alten" Tricks der sportlichen Jugendzeit um die Ohren hauen kann, war dies ein gelungenes Muttertagsgeschenk von mir (und natürlich meinem Kindern).

Der Muttertag mit Omas, Opa und anderen üblichen Verwandten, verlief dann auch dementsprechend.
Alle männlichen Probanden versuchten ihr Glück, abseits des Kuchenbuffet, beim Aufbau der Chinaware.
Die Beschreibungen sind natürlich dementsprechend und liegen wie bei fast allen gängigen Produkten in div. -auch unbekannten- Sprachen vor. Eine deutsche Anleitung riss der Junior denn auch siegesgewiss in die Höhe. Einiges Werkzeug und die kompl. Verschraubung war ebenfalls im Karton zu finden (zum Glück, da hab' ich nämlich schon Tragödien erlebt).
Und so, bis auf ein paar klitzekleine Unzulänglichkeiten, zu suchen natürlich im Habitus der männlichen Aufbauenden, stand das Teil nach gut einer Stunde gen Himmel; jedoch gefühlten DREI.
In Vaters Bastelkeller sollte allerdings ein oder zwei 13er Maulschlüssel; bzw. dementsprechende Knarre mit 13er Nuss,...
