Assembly and instructions were straight-forward. All the required pieces were included and in arrived in good condition. Just make sure you clear a few hours for it.
My kiddo plays every day and loves it. When I’ve played with him it seems sturdy and safe—has never moved—and it’s a lot of fun too. We filled it with water. The mechanism to change the height is super easy.
It also looks amazing, which was important to me since it’s on the driveway and you notice it right away when you see the house.
1. Sturdiness: one of the important things for me was how much it feels like playing in a gym with a real gym model. Our neighbors have a different brand and it feels like a toy version as the ball "thuds," agains the backboard. It wobbles after hit as well. This one does not. The ball comes off the rim and backboard almost as good as a gym backboard. The base is solid and does not have any give (see below on the base).
2. Materials: The pole is steel and the base is a hard plastic (with steel frame underneath). The wheels are hard plastic. You fill both with water to weigh them down. The base takes 25 gallons (I didn't measure it but that's what the instructions say and it that seemed about right). So the base alone is around 200 pounds. The backboard actually isn't heavy at all (my 8 year old daughter helped to hold it up while I screwed it in). The rim is a standard BB rim.
3. Heigh adjustment: Pretty easy. I'd say a 10 year old and up could easily do it themselves.
4. Portability: with the base filled, it's pretty heavy. If you want a hoop you can easily move around, you'd have to fill the base far less or maybe go with a different model.
5. Backboard size: 54" is nice. I don't think I'd say you'd need 60". Our neighbors have a 44" and that feels way too small, even for elementary ages.
6. Looks: it really looks nice. All the neighbors commented that it looks very nice.
7: Kids' vote: I was curious if the neighorhood kids would use it. Of course they were at the hoop within 10 minutes of me setting it up. They are skipping over the other hoops in the neighborhood that aren't as good (maybe a bad thing if you don't want all the kids around).
Other issues: these aren't things that matter to me personally but I know other buyers do. So here goes:
1. Shipping: was delayed by 3 days. I think it was 7-8 days received after ordered though. Not bad. I was expecting 10 days anyway.
2. Instructions: instructions are very good. Actually, I'll say excellent. Almost any kid product you have to put together always has some parts that just aren't 100% understandable and you do your best guess. These were not. I had zero issue understanding the instructions.
3. Time to build: they say 90 minutes. That wasn't my experience. Of course I had 3 kids bothering me half the time but 90 minutes seems like a pretty aggressive estimation.
4. Customer service: I thought I was missing a part (it ended up being in one of the main pole parts). They were friendly and responsive.
5. Tools needed: you need a large ratchet set. If you do not have a large ratchet set, you will need to get one. The standard size will not work.
I did not purchase the assembly from Amazon but I should have. I didn't because we were to receive the product on a Saturday and assembly would have been a couple of days later. I knew the kids couldn't wait if we had it on a Saturday. The price is only $20 - pay to have someone do it. It's not terribly difficult but still, if you have enough to buy this thing, $20 isn't much consideration.
Overall: I like how it feels when playing. Almost gym quality on a portable backboard. Very nice. Significantly better than similar models.
Pros:
assembly - It's actually a pretty easy hoop to put together if you have the proper tools. The directions are very basic and does a good job of keeping things simple while also guiding you step by step. You will, however, need another person to help you with certain steps.
Sturdiness - The hoop felt very secure after I finished assembling everything. I'm naturally super paranoid of a hoop falling into my car whether it be during a storm of just from it tilting over. The hoop itself managed to be able to stay upright after tilting it vertically once assembled WITHOUT adding water to the base. Obviously you'll want to add water/Sand to the base but I found it pleasantly surprising that it was able to stand on its own just with the base as is. I filled the base with water(75% full as recommended due to snow and cold weather being common in my area). I do plan on buying a couple sand bags just in case. I'm still paranoid and on the better safe than sorry spectrum.
Looks - The hoop itself is beautiful. I'm very into playing and watching basketball, and minus the Silverback logo in place of an NBA logo, the hoop looks like one of those fancy units they have at high end college parks. My girlfriend doesn't like that it blocks the view of our house but I think it's gorgeous. She'll learn I think.
Cons:
Draining the Base - from what I can tell, there's really nowhere to drain the base should you decide you wanted to do so for storage purposes if you maybe lived in an area that sees heavy winds often(like I do). I don't plan on storing it anywhere personally and will likely just keep it tilted over during the stormy season but I do think being able to drain the base and having that option would be nice.
The Backboard - if you play basketball a lot, and are not just buying this for your kids, you'll know when a backboard is quality or if it feels cheap. While the backboard itself LOOKS nice, when I was at the step of attaching it to the base/pole, I was genuinely concerned about possibly breaking it if I made any sort of wrong moves. Normally I'd try to have a backboard lean on something but opted to have my girlfriend hold it up a bit while I connected the pins instead. The board itself was just a flat plexiglas type of material that felt super thin. I wasn't expecting actual NBA regulation glass but I expected something sturdier for a unit this price(the backboard, the base of the Unit itself is sturdy as I stated earlier). Overall the backboard feels a little cheap considering you're paying mid level prices.
Neutral:
Assembly time - I worked on this mostly by myself save for sections of the steps that required two people for sure( tilting the hoop horizontally, and then eventually back to vertical, and attaching the backboard/rim). That being said, 90 minutes is definitely not gonna happen unless you're fortunate enough to have a professional available to build it for you(I didn't). It personally took me roughly 6 hours to build( including a lunch break and taking breaks very often due to it being nearly 100F and humid. Had it not been for the extreme heat I'd say, a straight shot and building the hoop alone/getting help on necessary steps, 3-4 hours is a reasonable estimate for building this thing if you're a beginner and don't have all the necessary tools to make it easier(I basically used two small adjustable wrenches the whole time). I'd definitely recommend buying. A torque wrench if you're considering buying this. It would really help speed things up for a lot of the steps that took me a bit longer than usual.
Special note:
Delivery - I didn't let delivery impact my rating as, in my opinion, delivery of the product from amazon is not a fault of the product itself. That being said, I'd like to point out that this item is one where you need to schedule a delivery date as someone will need to be home to sign for it. Naturally, I picked the earliest date that fit my schedule, however I didn't get the hoop until exactly 1 week after my selected delivery date. The delivery company also failed to respond to my calls or email request when I was trying to inquire about the status of my shipment. To their credit, they did finally get into contact with me 3 days before the actual delivery, and did a good job of letting me know when the delivery team would show up. It just happened a week late. It worked out for me as my schedule has me free on select dates, but if your schedule is a bit more busy then this could be a problem.
Conclusion: 4/5 stars.
Overall I'm satisfied with the product. Looks great, the base is sturdy, and assembling it wasn't really an issue. Delivery issues aside, I do recommend this product. I do wish the backboard was a bit sturdier and less "plastic" feeling, though.
Top reviews from other countries
Note: As mentioned this was a gift for my 8 year son and I was putting it together as a surprise while he was away at a sleepover.
So back to the assembly - 90% complete and I was putting the backboard on. As recommended in the instructions I took off the protective film in order to attach the rim. As an extra precaution, I still kept some of the film on in order not to scratch the backboard during the final assembly process. Once I completed assembling the entire basketball hoop I took off the rest of the protective film and that's when I saw some type of smudge or imperfection on the backboard. I tried wiping it off but it looks like its embedded in the acrylic. It's not rough to the touch so it doesn't appear to be a scratch. Regardless - I spent almost $800 dollars and 3 hours of my time to surprise my son with a basketball hoop with a major mark on the "showcase" backboard. Seriously disappointing Silverback!!! This is a 5 star system but your quality control is seriously flawed (this backboard shouldn't have left the factory)...especially when you promote the design of the backboard. Buyers beware!!! A basketball hoop that costs this much shouldn't have any damages.
