Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 October 2019

Bought as a gift for a 9 yr old.
All I now hear is a constant boing,boing,boing of the basketball bouncing.
Worst gift ever bought. Should have bought him a nice quiet chainsaw.

Not the best construction but gives the kids something to play with.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 January 2021

Fiddly to put together but I managed on my own. Only issue was the poor plastic moulding of the base which allowed water to escape, but as I had completed the assembly by then I couldn't be bothered to disassemble to send it back. Now filling it with sand, but you really need 'kiln dried' and a funnel as the filler hole is only about 2.5cm diameter and wet sand clogs together. It still blows over in strong wind but so far hasn't sustained damage so i suppose it's ok.

Bought for son - read reviews - agree re. hole too small for easy sand fill (nearly 2 hours !! Just make it a bit bigger). Real problem was one of the bolts was missing - should have been 4 pieces only 3 - quandry wait for replacement (with excited son waiting to play) or improvise...come on guys sort out the details...so...I complained re above and promptly received new set of bolts perfect and they appear to have enlarged filling hole...I'm empowered you can all,thank me for not having to waste hours filling the base. We've had the product for a few weeks and we love it...

Great basketball net,very tricky to put together though,holes did not line up correctly. My husband had a tough enough time to get it assembled. Bought for my 8 year old,but is a great size for older kids aswell. Its sturdy & provides endless play value. Very solid when filled with water,easy to move also.

Bought for grandson's 6th birthday. It arrived very quickly and was easy to assemble. Was very impressed by the sturdy quality and the wheels are an excellent feature as it gets moved for storage. Height is adjustable and adults have played happily as well as range of differently aged children. Looks like it will last, very impressed with the quality. A very happy purchase.

Loved by children, good value.

This is what it is. For a five and ten year old it’s ideal. The right size with some adjustment, and robust enough for them. If you need something for more beefy teenagers to use I suspect you may be disappointed as the backboard would not stand up to really heavy battering.
Our purchase is filled with water which makes it heavy enough for play. It’s easy to move using the wheels but heavy and awkward to lift.
All in all loved by the children and reasonably priced.

Fabulous basketball net!!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 April 2020

This is a great basket ball net, it looks good was so easy to put up and the kids absolutely love it! We had it assembled in 5 minutes and it’s kept the kids and grown ups entertained every day! The height adjusts easily so you can change it up if you want. I have bought lots of outdoor products while we’ve been on lock down and this is definitely our best value purchase. It is really sturdy and great it can be moved easily around the garden. I would highly recommend to keep the whole family entertained!!

Good value

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 January 2021

For the money paid this is a good buy. It's made from metal apart from the base and backboard so it's fairly sturdy (I think the plastic backboard would break if an adult really hammered a basketball against it a few times though). My daughter loved it for the first week after Xmas but the novelty seems to have worn off, so I'm glad I didn't spend more! Would definitely recommend it for beginners or people just looking for something that isn't too costly to have fun in the garden once the good weather comes in again.

I had an issue with the base, which was replaced promptly. The communication was excellent.
The product itself is good quality, especially the hoop which gives you a very satisfying feeling when the ball goes through it. As I said, my base arrived damaged. I feel it could be made of slightly sturdier material, but hey - at this price it is fine - you just have to take care when moving it about.

Base leaking after very little use.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 January 2022

Verified Purchase

As a basketball hoop the kids love it. Went into the garage today and it has leaked over the floor. Not what i expected. Other reviews have mentioned the base leaking but i assumed they had just not been careful when moving the base around. The leak isn’t due to misuse. I’ll be contacting the supplier for their response.

My son wanted this for one of his Christmas presents. He's 15, and as he's getting older I said he could put it together. It's now warmer weather so he decided he would actually do it. It took him nearly 2 hours, but he got there in the end, and did it himself. His first DIY with no supervision or assistance. He was pleased with the end result, and I was pleased he put in the effort and stuck at it even when it was annoying him. It's adjustable height makes it good for various age groups to use. Really pleased with it, and it gets my son in the garden and off his computer!
