This is a phenomenal hoop. I ordered it and it came in 6 days. Surprisingly fast. I did the concrete one weekend and installed the hoop the next weekend. We just followed the simple directions and with 4 of us, we had it up in an hour. It's super solid. No shakes at all from the post My shots bounce nice off the glass. Dunking is fun too. I love the padding that came with the hoop. It's pretty easy to lower and raise. My 5 and 7 year old can turn the crank. Do yourself a favor and forget about the rest and get this hoop. I already know this thing will probably last 15 years cause its so well designed and built.
