Jindo: Decent net. Kids love it. But it came with defective wheel. I sent an email asking for replacement. Hopefully I will get it.
P.s. if you're going to use sand to fill the base... do not use play sand. Make sure its dry sand. It's very difficult and time consuming to fill it with playsand as it is wet. Doable but very hard and time consuming.

Dawn: My son and I put it together easily but of course it was a bit time consuming. We personally have had no trouble with the net as stated in some other reviews however my son has stated that the backboard is quite flat, meaning it has not a lot of spring or shock absorbency . When it hits the backboard it just kinda thuds is the best word I can use but besides this we are happy with our purchase and happy with the delivery time .

JJ: I put this entire thing together by myself. It's pretty simple and the instructions were not confusing. The quality of the product is great. I've moved it in and out of the garage more than a dozen times and the base is still holding water without any leaks. I've had this for 3.5 months. It's in the garage for the winter and it's too soon to comment on handling the elements with regard to rusting or fading.

Update --- November 26, 2017 --- it's been one year and it looks and functions as good as new. No bend in the hoop, no color fading on the backboard, no loose bolts, no leaks in the base, and no rust on the stand. Over the past year, it's been garage kept when not in use. However, I've kept it out on the weekends this past summer as long as no rain was expected. This Fall, I've left it out all day and night (plenty of sun and rain). It gets used almost daily. It has held up well to the elements. I'm very happy with the purchase and the price is fair compared to the competition.

Update.... Two years old and no issues, absolutely no sign of fading or deteriorating. It's been left out for months at a time and other times brought into the garage.

Update..........

DENIS BROCK: The first order did not arrive in time for the intended present but Amazon sent a replacement (no hassle). Contrary to some purchasers, I found it easy to assemble if you slavishly follow the simple to follow instructions. A couple of hours on a sunny day and I have a happy nine year old (who did help with assembly). The product materials are good. Let's see if it survives a Whistler winter .....

Doreen Shea: The instructions were very easy to follow unlike some products your get. My sister and I put it together, was easy for the most part, but, were both short so there was some trouble while putting the backboard onto the pole. The height adjustment is extremely easy to do which I like as my son says yes it too high and then its too low. We got it right for him, if this was harder to do then we would have to leave it wherever we set it the first time. Like it very much. Delivery was so fast as well.

Jojoleb: The Lifetime 1221 Pro Court basketball system is a reasonable choice for the budget conscious family. It is a free-standing basketball hoop that is great for light, family oriented play. Given the price, I think you will get more than you expected and your kids will be more than satisfied with the new source of summer fun.

But remember, this is not a professional set up. The backboard is made out of molded plastic. This is somewhat softer than plexiglass or wood and dampens the characteristic bounce that you might get with a harder surface. The fact that the base is weighted, rather than fixed to the ground, also increases the give on the backboard. Even so, the backboard perfroms competently. So unless your kids are budding NBA stars, the effect on play is minimal and the backboard is more than adequate.

You can fill the base with water or sand. Water has the advantage of being easier to remove whereas sand weighs more and would make the base more stable. However, even with water the hoop is far more stable than I would have imagined. It stays firmly planted even when the ball is thrown at the backboard with force.

Although portable, the structure is not...
