Sports reviews of Huffy 8839S "The Converter" for Basketball Systems
Customer Review: Decent product. Requires moderately hard assembly. Good for younger kids and light/recreational play.
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
Santa brought a backboard, but no bracket to attach it. We wanted one that was adjustable for our small kids and found this. It can be raised and lowered with some degree of ease using a broomstick handle. The instructions are detailed and not too hard to follow.
Assembly is not easy. I would not recommend this product if you don't know how to assemble nuts and bolts or have a hard time following diagrams and such. Ultimately it takes two adults to finish the assembly as one has to lift the backboard and bracket to the base while the other attaches it to the base. Better yet, just find a handyman and pay him to install it. Note that if you intend to attach it to your roof, you will need to buy about 6 bolts, washers and nuts as they are not included.
I would give the bracket 5 stars (not judging on the assembly though, it is moderately hard), but the bracket tends to wobble a little bit when hit hard on the side. This seems to be because of the bracket design and the fact that it is fully adjustable.
For my small kids, it's fine. They won't be doing any slam dunks for a long time. But I would not want anyone trying to hang on the rim. For grown ups, get a fixed bracket that won't budge and will withstand a slam dunk or two.
