I’ll start out by saying this thing was not easy to put together. But, the final product is worth the trouble!The box that was delivered is huge and definitely takes two people to move. We knew going in to assembly that it would be a time consuming task. Thanks to other reviews and a YouTube video, we were prepared. For the first part my dad actually came over to help us as well. It was nice to have three sets of hands.It was really hard to get the poles together. You have to watch the orientation and then it really took some muscle to “bounce” the three sections together. Thankfully my husband is a tall guy and was strong enough to do it. He had to bring the pieces up quite high and slam them down on scrap wood to get them together. We used a rubber mallet early on to make sure everything was lined up.The backboard assembly was also a little tricky. We had one hex bolt missing from our packaging. Standard size so we decided to get from the hardware store instead of calling Spalding and waiting for one bolt. It matched the other perfectly. No big deal there.Getting the spacers in between the rack mounts and backboard also required some muscle to get in place. Thanks again to husband. Fishing bolts through the metal and the spacers was a lesson in patience.Once the backboard was on, things went much faster and smoother. We made a small mistake in mounting the rim. We forgot that for the glass backboard there was a foam pad and 4 additional spacers. Luckily we realized that pretty quick and fixed it.Rim went on just fine and well as the mechanism to raise and lower the backboard. One small thing to watch for - we accidentally had the outer tube orientation wrong when we mounted the rising mechanism. Not a huge deal but when we went to put the sticker on for rim height the little circle cutout was facing the pole instead of to the outside. You can still see the height sticker so - no harm.For the base - We bought the filler that Amazon offers where you mix it with water to form a nice poly fill material. It resists freezing so we decided to go that route instead of adding antifreeze to the water in the base. However this pole and backboard are SO HEAVY we had a near scare with it tipping before we filled the base. So, just to be sure it was safe we put a couple 50 pound sand bags on top of the base also. I’m sure it’s overkill but...We also decided personally to not put the backboard pads on. My kids are too young to even get close to dunking and the way you have to attach those is to drill into the backboard. We skipped this for now. Maybe once we have teenagers we will add the pads.Assembly was complete in what I will estimate as about 8-9 hours. We did it over the course of 3 days. Took our time and double checked the directions. Also had some interruptions. So I’m sure it would be less for many people. It definitely requires two strong adults to get done.We found that the instructions weren’t that bad. Some reviews said they were awful and while they could be a little more clear for some steps overall we didn’t have problems. Just read it through more than once and go slow. Double check things.Now for the fun part - it’s done so how does it play?We are very impressed with this goal. It is rock solid! With many portables you have a lot of wiggle and vibration after a shot. Not with this bad boy! The ball comes off the glass so nicely also. My family has enjoyed this goal a lot so far. It’s very easy to raise and lower the backboard so both my kids can have fun shooting.We have only had it fully assembled for a day so I will update this review once we spend more time on the goal. But so far - very pleased and all the time spend assembling it was worth it!
