Easy to put together, but a couple of issues.... September 22, 2009
Morley Dotes (Flushing, New York USA)
First let me say that dealing with Dazadi was excellent. My delivery came with the box in ripped open and what looked like large punctures. I opened it, checked for all the parts and then noticed the backboard was cracked. I called Dazadi and in a week I had a new backboard. The rep on the phone was VERY helpful, spoke clearly and was very helpful. He assured me that would stand behind their sale...and they did. Dazadi gets 5 plus stars! I just had to mention that....now on to the review.
Aside from poor packaging by Spalding, the directions are almost horrible. The real problem is checking all the parts and identifying everything. I had so many bolts, etc., that were not listed, and some were just slightly longer than the other and I had to guess (wrongly...of course) and then change everything. Still, putting everything together took me about 2 hours (my 4 and 6 year olds helped me, or else it might have been a bit faster). The handle to raise and lower the hoop is really great and works very nicely and very easily....putting the springs together was not so easy. The key is to read the directions several times BEFORE you start anything. Start to finish. Even mock it up first to make sure you find the parts of the directions that do not really make sense and you identify the extra parts (that you will use). They have a partial picture id guide for some of the parts, but not all of the parts, so you will have to read the descriptions for each part number. Also, putting the long bolts can be a chore. Use the bolts to ream out or loosen up the extra paint that does not allow the bolt to get through. Do it to all of the holes BEFORE you start and it will make things much easier.
At its lowest point, my 4 year old daughter can through a full sized basketball easily into the hoop, and at it's highest....well, it's pretty high! It is a lot of fun. You should buy some kind of pad for the pole because you don't want anyone running into it. You can buy special pads that will wrap around it easily. I'm glad that I purchased this, and it is very sturdy with no real vibration (my friend has a portable one and it has a lot of vibartion when the ball hits). I would like to have taken off 1.5 stars for terrible directions, but one is all I could do, and I didn't want to leave it with 3 stars.
As for value, this is a great deal. The quality is very good, and we will see if anything cracks or breaks when the winter comes....but I doubt it. I am happy with my purchase and thrilled with Dazadi!
If you have questions, Dazadi will help....and if they cannot, they will give you a number for Spalding.
