A good quality basketball goal.
By J. Matt Landrum
This basketball goal is a good value for the money. It is sturdy and relatively easy to put together (my wife did it in under 2 hours, though I should mention she is mechanically inclined). With nothing in the base, I can carry it. It also has wheels on the base for portability. I filled the base up with a hose to anchor it. It was very easy to fill with a hose.So far, the goal has stood up well to some rough play, including lots of dunks. Here are the three negatives:1) the backboard is a little small.2) As mentioned in the product description, the base takes up a lot of area. There is no getting around this. It's a tradeoff for making it portable.3) Even at the lowest setting (7 ft), it's too high for my 7-year old daughter (even with one of the smaller basketballs). It takes almost all her strength to make a basket. I plan to get around the height problem by getting a soccer ball or something lighter for her to shoot with. She is not very strong so if you have a strong 7-year old, it should be fine.If I had it to do over again, I would probably get one of the cheaper, smaller goals, but this one is made well enough so it will still be around when my daughter is strong enough to easily shoot at a 7 ft. goal.Update 3/19/2009 - still going strong 3+ years later.

Lasts a Lifetime
By nick202
Although I don't own this specific hoop, I have owned a lifetime hoop just like this one for over ten years and there's nothing rusting or breaking off. The only thing I had to replace is the net. Even though it's not the biggest hoop with a breakaway rim, it would last much longer and withstand decades of use. If you're looking for an economic hoop for the beginner basketball player buy this hoop.

By BB Player
Good overall, took quite a while to put together and needed two people. Getting enough sand to make it stable took a long time with a funnel.
