This thing is nice!, and easy to assemble as well. I put it together in 1.5 hrs. I like the bounce/give off the backboard and rim. Really impressed so far with the quality, sturdiness, and overall build of this basketball hoop. It's getting lots of use.

I've had this hoop for about a month and so far I really enjoy it. It looks great and adjusts the height easily. The installation instructions were very good, but it did take me about 4-5 hours to get it all together by myself. Previously I had a smaller goal that would blow over with strong winds and get damaged as a result. Even with filling the base up with water, I also bought some tie down straps used for trampolines to keep this thing from moving. We've had some 20-30 mph winds over the past few weeks and this thing doesn't even budge! Definitely get strap it down so you don't risk damaging it. All in all it's been exactly what I hoped it would be and highly recommend it.

The package came early and since it was a surprise gift for my son that we could not hide, I opted to assemble myself instead of waiting the full week for the scheduled assembly by a professional. Assembly took me 3.5 hours from unopened box to first shot. The instructions were very clear and I appreciated the step-by-step including when to tighten bolts. My wife helped hold things once the base was tipped over to install backboard and rim, but otherwise, this was a one person job. I have not yet filled the base with sand or water as I am considering the trade-offs between the two. I may also try moving it to a few different spots on driveway. The height adjustment is easy. My 8 year old daughter is moving it constantly. She likes to shoot at 10 feet while most everyone else likes it at 8. The best traits of this hoop are its looks (we have had many compliments already by friends visiting on Memorial Day weekend) and ease of assembly. My son loves it and that is what really counts.

I set this up on a new concrete pad where a pool once sat in the rear of my backyard. The assembly is challenging, even the most skilled craftsman I do not believe could do this in 90 minutes. Took me more like 6 hours including breaks. 80% of the job I did myself but when it gets to holding/balancing/and securing the backboard you really do need someone else. While a challenging build, the directions were excellent and the holes all true. Plus, the hardware was marked and pre-packaged so everything very easy to find. I filled with water as I don’t anticipate ever doing anything like dunking on it so should be plenty sturdy for non dunking use. I also live in cold climate so plan to add some pool antifreeze come winter. All in all, one of the best portable options out there in my opinion.

So far, I am very impressed and I'll update on durability as hoop gets tested. I put this whole together in under 2 hours. First thing I did was lay out and identify all parts and retrieved tools needed to assemble. Once I confirmed all parts were present, all that was left was following the instructions. I filled the base and wheels with water as recommended. I need to inquire if the water freezing wouldn't negatively impact the base integrity but can always add antifreeze. I used a ladder and big trash can as support given I put it 2gether by myself while boys were still snoring...lol but the instructions were clear and simple. Pay attention not to over tighten bolts and nuts. Great hoop...... only knock, at this price range, Silverback should include parts needed to assemble hoop because not everyone will have said tools.
