Review: Looks nice and the kids like it. - Hubby got this installed and it seems to be really nice. The kids like it.
Review: Decent for the kids - I put this in the ground with the add insert pipe sold separately. That worked well for my needs and I can remove it if I wanted to, but I doubt I will, just wanted the option. Board is fairly sturdy, it the smaller 44 inch but the grand kids 10-12 yrs are having a blast with it. For the price, it does what I expect. If I had some highschool - more serious players, I would have to spend some more money for a more sturdy nicer option. and if they get serious about hoops, then, maybe that will happen in 4-5 years. This should last that long i would think. The backboard is not glass, its a durable plastic. I like the quality for the money spent. It is not a 500 dollar hoop. Dont expect that. If you have Senior high school kids that want to slam dunk all the time, then this is not the one for you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hoods up well

Very happy with this basketball goal. It has been a year since the purchase and has held up extremely well. It was easy to install but you need three people to safely put in the ground properly
