Lifetime NBA Houston Rockets 44" Portable Basketball Hoop with Wheels - 7.5 to 10 Ft Adjustable Height

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Gets the kids outside! This is a good size basketball hoop that can work in a small or big space. Kids age 4-14 have all said they like it. We have the hoop on the lowest setting and everyone can shoot comfortably. It is adjustable, but it will take you a minute to raise/ lower it as it’s just a screw that you remove and place in the hole you want for different heights. The rim is a nice heavy metal with paint to prevent rust, so it should hold up in the weather for a long time. The rebound on the backboard is pretty decent considering it’s a stand one hoop. We filled our base with water and it worked great( we had a windstorm & it didn’t budge)! It take awhile to assemble, but wasn’t terrible about an hour. Just make sure you are following the correct instructions for the 2 different types of backboards listed in the instructions.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Full disclosure, I was sent this hoop and asked to write an honest review. I think this is a great basketball hoop for kids. My kids are not avid ball players but they have enjoyed playing basketball with this hoop since we got it assembled. Assembly was fairly straightforward. Watching the videos helped a lot with assembly. My 13 year old daughter was able to do a lot of the assembly by herself with supervision. There were a couple times that holes did not line up perfectly and it took a little more work to get the screws in place. Overall I would say assembly was pretty simple and took about 2-2.5 hours. The hoop is pretty stable once the base is filled. We filled ours with water because that is what we had on hand, but will probably change it out to sand later because we live where the temperatures get cold and the kids want to be able to use the hoop when weather allows. Adjusting the height of the hoop was fairly easy. I wouldn't say it was the easiest hoop to adjust the height on but it wasn't too difficult. When filled with water it was a little more difficult to move the hoop around, younger kids would definitely need an adult's help to move the hoop. While playing a game I felt the rebound of the hoop was as expected. When bouncing off the backboard the ball came back in the direction you would expect when the shot was missed. When aiming your shots off the backboard you seemed pretty accurate. The rim seems to be very sturdy. My 13 year old tried to dunk the ball and the rim held up as expected, didn't notice any bend. Overall I feel that this is a great basketball hoop for beginner and even intermediate players. It definitely isn't a top of the line hoop but it is a great starter hoop and is a great value for the price. The parts seem sturdy and made of good quality materials. I think this hoop will last a long time and will be a great addition to the backyard for my kids.
