Sports reviews of Lifetime 1225 Pro Court Height-Adjustable Portable Basketball System with 44-Inch Backboard
Customer Review: Great Beginner Hoop but was missing parts!
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
For a beginners basketball hoop, I really have no complaints. The system is solid and well built enough to stand up to my 9 year old and his limited dunking skills. The price was well within reasonable expectations for quality and peformance. Don't expect easy, one handed height adjustment or true bounce off a rather thin, molded plastic backboard. But for shooting around with the kid, you should be happy. My biggest complaints were two-fold:
First, the product took about three days until it even began shipping. I'd expect more from something shipping directly from Amazon (as indicated by the page) and not a third party.
Second, and the main reason I only rated 3 stars, the box was missing 2 bags of parts. I still don't understand in modern assembly line production how 2 large bags of parts don't make it into a box with roughly 10 components. It was disappointing to get half way through assembly and tell my son he wouldn't get to play today because Lifetime couldn't QA their products. Regardless, they were nice enough to send out the missing parts bag (minus an apology) and it sits fully assembled in my driveway.
As it recommends, you'll need two people to put it together.
