1My handyman spent 4 hours assembling  Dec 22, 2009
My very competent handyman had to go to the hardware store to supply three different missing bolts, and as other reviewers mention, it leaks like a sieve so he had to fill it with sand, not water. A professional with a truck full of tools and equipment spent four hours on assembly so I pity the weekend handy-dad who has to tackle this. I wanted a hoop for Christmas so I hoped the negative reviews were wrong, but they are correct. Terrible packaging, bad directions, leaky base, and the whole thing fits together poorly. Spalding needs to re-assess their Chinese assembly lines and get those boxes better packaged and packed!

1I received My Basketball hoop Broken!  May 18, 2009
I received item # 72351 a 44-inch Polycarbonate Backboard, Portable Basketball System Broken. Even though the item came in a timely manner and the price was not bad. I had a hard time reading the directions and looking at the child like drawings. Once I got the Basketball hoop fully assembled I proceeded to fill it with water only to find the base had a hole the size of a dollar bill in length. So now rather then send the product back and break the excitement my child had once she saw it. I have to hope that three sand bags and a cinder block can keep her safe rather then the based water design that the manufacture obviously decided was the best and safest design for this product!

1Don't waste your money  Apr 18, 2009
We bought this for our daughter for Christmas. Waited until the weather was warm enough to put it together. The holes were not drilled properly making it difficult to put together. When we filled the base with water and went to move it the base cracked. To make matters much worse after 20 minutes of play (not rough play), the backboard cracked. I am so disappointed with this system.
