This hoop is everything I was looking for in a basketball hoop. Extremely solid build, easy to follow instructions on set-up, and fun for our entire family. My wife and I were able to do most of the set up by ourselves, including pouring the concrete and setting up the base. We did get our 14-year-old son to help dig the hole and hold the backboard as we attached it to the support arm. I am so pleased with the sturdiness that you get with this hoop. It is as nice as playing on most indoor hoops/gyms. It has been a dream to have a nice hoop that the whole family can use, and this hoop provides that.
