System is very sturdy and easy to setup. The glass backboard provides a great and consistent bounce. Jack makes adjusting height very easy.

I bought this goal for the driveway to play with my 10 year old son. I decided to spend a little bit more and get the bigger pole and overall more stable structure that this model provides. We got it up over the weekend and have not been disappointed. The kids love it and I have enjoyed it myself. There is little to no vibration from the background and the system is overall very solid. The only vibration you get is if you really bang it extremely hard of the backboard. It took about 6 hours to install total (2 hours for hole, 2 hours for concrete and base setting, and 2 hours for goal assembly). The instructions are pretty straight forward. The one recommendation would be to use a pickup truck bed to put up the backboard rather than a ladder. The backboard is very heavy and this was the most difficult part of the instalation. You can do it with 2 adults, but this part works better with 3. The only confusion from the instructions was how much concrete you need. The instructions call for a hole that is 24" deep and 24" across. I dug it an extra 6" deep to 30" and used 12 bags of concrete to fill the hole.Overall we are very pleased with our purchase.

This is, by far, the worst delivery I have experienced with an on-line order. I am not able to review the actual product because I still do not have all of the parts necessary to use this basketball hoop, despite the fact that it was ordered a month ago. The original shipment did not include the rim, net or the necessary hardware to install the rim. How do you forget to include the rim assembly for a basketball hoop? I called Amazon and they were very friendly and offered to send me an entirely new system -- pole, backboard, etc. -- because they cannot just send the rim assembly. Alternatively, they said I could call Spalding directly and Amazon would reimburse me for any expenses. I called Spalding directly and they agreed to send the rim assembly and "no doubt" it would arrive within three days. Six days later the new rim arrived, but the bolt-pattern did not work with the backboard, so I am going to have to mail it back to Spalding. Supposedly, the correct rim has been shipped, but I remain skeptical. The people at Amazon and Spalding were very pleasant and apologetic, but this has been ridiculous. In retrospect, I seriously regret buying this through Amazon. Any money saved has been far exceeded by time spent and frustration of trying to simply get all of the parts. I have purchased through Amazon many times and this is the first problem with a delivery. This experience, however, is enough to give me considerable pause before ordering anything that is either large or that requires timely delivery.
