We have only had the hoop for the past two months, but family is really enjoying it. Seems like it will last for many years to come. It is heavy duty, professional grade. Padding is great. Adjusting height is very easy to do for adults and kids. The ability for this to come down to 5.5 ft is huge if you have kids in the 3-5 year age range. It also looks good in the driveway. We now have the entire street of kids over at our house playing. Our handyman crew did a great job of installing and they also commented that they haven't installed one of this high grade yet. There is no movement on backboard when shooting, very stable. Thank you MegaSlam for putting out such a quality product.
