Great product, good instructions
By J. Kratzer
Let me start by saying that this basketball goal is a great product once it is put together. It is sturdy and looks good. This goal is hard to beat for the price. The instructions aren't bad either. The hardest part is the height adjusting mechanism which takes some care. It took my wife and I about 4 hours to put the whole thing together so be sure you have enough time before starting. A few of the bolts and nuts fit a little tight but overall fit is good and holes match up pretty well. My three kids ages 9, 11, and 13 all love playing basketball with it and so do I.

Great basketball portable system!
By bookreader
I am very happy I took the chance on this basketball backboard unit. It was not very hard to put together at all. The piece were all there and they even put in a few easy to misplace pieces in an extra washer and an extra nut. I built the unit with my little guy and it took us about an 1 hour, just pre-read the directions and get all your pieces and tools in order. It has been up for a couple of days and the base is filled with water rather than sand I did add a bag of sand on top, just in case, to give it a little more weight on the back. Overall it looks and works fantastic and the price is not too bad as it feels pretty sturdy. I would not hang off the rim, but for let kids play basketball it is a big win I give it five stars easily.

Lifetime 1479 Basketball Goal
By Chris_H
The goal is great once it is assembled. The problem is with the instructions. There is a step with an incorrect parts list and a step with an incorrect picture. That is inexcusable for the number of basketball goals that Lifetime must sell. If you take your time and realize your instincts are better than the manufacturer's instructions, it is not that problematic. The assembled goal is great!
