The glass backboard is makes all the difference and is vastly superior to acrylic and poly carbonate boards. The bounce off the board is solid with very little rebound loss and the sound is sweet when compare to the booming you get on plastic boards. This system is very heavy and well built. The 4 inch square pole adds to the solid feel and altogether the basketball system is very stable and rigid. The plastic base comes with a metal support frame that you attach to the struts supporting the pole. I filled mine with water and used the ropes included to tied it down. The result makes the hoop firmly grounded. During play you do not have to worry about the base moving at all, and I don't think it will ever tip over. Overall I am very happy with this purchase and my kids love it.Packaging:The hoop is delivered by a freight company called CEVA in a very large and heavy box. CEVA will make an appointment with you and they will bring the box to your garage. The items are packed very well so the glass and metal parts arrived safely without any damage. All the hardware (ie bolts and nuts) are packaged in separate plastic pouches that are well organized. This makes finding the parts easy when you do the assembly. The heaviest piece is the glass backboard. I would guess it is around 40-50 pounds and one person could certainly lift it by himself. On some reviews I read, they mentioned that the directions were confusing because the spacers for the rim and the backboard were pre-installed which the directions did not mention. In the shipment I received, the directions have been updated so this is not an issue.Assembly:I read every review and I was concern about assembling this by myself since many reviewers rate the assembly as very difficult. I thought about hiring someone to assemble it, but after looking at the different parts in the box and reading the instructions I decided to give it a try. I got all the tools (mostly pair of socket wrench with 1/2 and 3/4 sockets) and followed the directions carefully. The assembly went smoothly for the most part, except the step to attach the board to the elevators. For me this took the most time. I lifted the board and use some milk boxes to support it. Then I tilted the pole on the saw horse so the holes were close to lining up. I temporarily inserted the bolts to hold the backboard to the elevators. Then I did each bolt one at a time. The difficult part is that there is a plastic spacer between the board and the elevator and this took a very long time to line up the bolt through the holes and spacer holes. After I did one, I would take out a bolt that I had temporarily inserted and add the spacers to do it right. The four holes took me an hour and a half and it was by far the most difficult. After I attached the board, I filled up the base with water and asked my wife to help me move and upright the system. This is very heavy and you would need someone to help you. After it was uprighted, I finished by installing the rim and the foam panels on the under side of the board. From start to finish, it took about 4 hours.Tips:1. Before banging the poles together line them up so the clearance for each corner is about same. You don't one one corner very tight and the other corner very loose. Also spray WD-40 before drop banging the poles together.2. When attaching the pole to the base, push the bolt through the holes on the plastic base before threading them through the pole. You need someone to hold the pole for you at this step.3. Use some plastic milk boxes or other support when trying to attach board to elevators. Having two people to hold the board while you attach the bolt through the spacers would make things go alot easier. If you don't have extra help, then slide the bolts without spacers as a temporary step to hold the board to the elevator, and then go back and do one bolt at a time with the spacer. This step was hard for me because I had to push very hard to get the spacer in between and to line up the holes.4. Before uprighting, push the base to the desire location. You will need someone to help when uprighting, it is very heavy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice system/ install as expected per others reviews. *by on Reviewed in the United States August 29, 2016* Researched for a couple of months after our portable of 6+ years broke-from baseball hitting backboard and cracking it. Originally was hoping to go the in ground route as have 12 year old that is a serious ball player. After a lot of research realized the most important thing for us was the glass backboard to make it more realistic in shooting and rebounding. The sticker price of around $1700 with install for a nice 60 inch glass in-ground was more then we wanted to spend. Therefore came across the Spalding 54 and 60 inch glass portable hoops. Watched for about a month hoping the 60 inch Beast would go down in price a bit. Since it didn't went with this one. I am a huge review reader and therefore read all the questions and comments preparing for install day. I am just going to highlight/state some of the tips we found to be most useful:- layout all materials before starting- read and reread the instructions on each page and look at the picture multiple times that goes with it. There are multiple steps per page.- use of sawhorse is called for but one reviewer suggested using two and that would be a good idea- we did not but it would have been useful- the poles- I was dreading this part the most. Look at the picture, look again at the picture, and then relook again before putting together. I did end up switching the direction of one right before we started pounding together based on looking at the picture wrong. We did spray WD-40 on it- not sure if that helped or not but I'm sure didn't hurt. We did start with trying to stand on ladder and having someone with a small mallet hit from the top with wood on the bottom and wood on the top part. Didn't move much. We then laid the poles on the garage floor and while I tried to hold one end my husband used a sledge hammer and gave a hard hit with wood protecting the pole like you would play croquet. That worked great. What we didn't do though was to put a blanket down to protect the poles therefore part of the poles got scuffed from the garage floor.- because of the climate where we live we did use sand for the base (also because of many commenting how quickly the base cracks) Whoever said the design of the little hole to pour the sand through is the most ridiculous thing ever is 110% correct. I cannot understand if they recommend water OR sand why they don't have a better system. In addition, we bought play sand as others recommended but due to the weather it ended up not being extremely dry. Therefore it took us hours to get the sand in. We started with the hoop on a sawhorse, husband on a ladder pouring the 50 lb bags onto a cardboard sort of funnel and I stood on the other end and literally pushed the sand through for the first 200 lbs. Then moved into place and added the rest since it had some weight to hold it up then- which included tipping the system forward and to the side to try to distribute the sand and using a small pole to push the sand further in. If I were to do again I would lay out a tarp on the driveway and empty about 350/400 lbs of sand onto it to dry in the sun while we put it together in the am. Then transfer the dry sand into the hole. That was the worst part.The system when done is impressive and very nice to look at. Very nice to play off of as well. Like how it is a straight up and down pole vs slanting like our last one. I thought I would be disappointed with the 54 instead of getting the 60 but am not at all and it was $500 cheaper. As others indicated if using sand it is a very heavy system and after about 100 lbs of sand hard to move so try to get into location before adding the rest. Will update review once we have for a bit. Hoping backboard doesn't crack as others have had happen and poles/base stays in one piece. Took us without adding the sand about 3+ hours to install plus a couple breaks to borrow a couple tools. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ SECOND BEST PORTABLE HOOP MONEY CAN BUY *by on Reviewed in the United States June 27, 2013* This is my first review ever on amazon so be gentle.The amount of research I did before purchasing this hoop was absolutely insane. I visited sports stores all around my area and tested out the bounce on all types of backboard+rim combinations compared to what it's like in an actual gym and there was no question that glass was the way to go. If you want that indoor hoop feel you have to go with glass and you have to pay the extra money. And even though this is probably the best hoop I've ever played on, it did come with a price.So first things first, price and delivery. Amazon has this hoop cheaper than anywhere I saw in stores or online, and by a good 100$ too. Great deal on the price but still more expensive than 85% of portable hoops, so this is kind of a big investment. Delivery through amazon went through a freight company. They were great too and called me the day before it came and set up an appointment time for delivery. I put the order in on friday and by Wednesday the hoop was at my door.Now as far as assembly goes. This is where it does get tricky. Be prepared to take either 3-5 hours to assemble at least, and grab a few buddies and make a day out of it because you will need some help. The directions are pretty cute and dry. No big surprises. Some stuff was unclear regarding screws, how many there are and which one you use where, but if you are a particularly handy person, it shouldnt be a problem. Some things that will help was a ladder, a wrench set, pieces of wood, and something that could be used as a scaffold base type of thing (I used two step ladders). Also beer.Now on hour 4 of assembly is where things got a little crazy. THE BACKBOARD SHATTERED UPON ASSEMBLY. Now whos fault this was, I'm not sure but when we were putting the rim onto the backboard we were tightening the screws, heard a pop, and the entire thing just tempered out.Very, Very frustrating but surprisingly enough, despite these reviews, Spaldings customer support is PHENOMENAL. There is a 2 year warranty on the backboard through them and they sent me out a new one for free! Delivery on that was kind of annoying, took almost a week and a half, but it came eventually, and after only hand tightening the backboard and the rim, we were almost up and running. A minor issue but it seemed like the net was flawed. The loops didn't line up correctly, tough to explain, but it was defective. Called Spalding again and they sent me out two "heavy duty" nets that came in only a few days. They really impressed me despite reading some of these reviews.And now for why I gave this hoop 4 stars: My logic behind it is that it simply isn't the best glass hoop out there. "The Beast" by Spalding is 979$ and supposedly the best portable you could buy. It has a few minor differences but if you have the money I would definitely recommend that one over this one. As far as portable hoops goes this model would be a Mercedes benz, but the beast is a Lamborghini. But still, I don't mind driving a benz. Ya feel me?Also a few more notes about the hoop. It comes with those rubber protectors that go around the bottom of the frame. Go ahead scroll up and look at them. You back? Well personally, I havent put those on yet. They seem to need to be drilled directly into the metal frame of the backboard for which you have to make and drill your own holes for. It kinda scares me. After what happened with the first backboard I'm very protective of it. Also my base seems to have a small leak in it. I'm not sure where but as of right now it actually stopped leaking somehow (magic) but I also keep a 35 pound bag of rocks on top of it, just in case. When filled to the top it is very very heavy and that was just with water. After the new backboard arrived, I actually had to remove the water which i though was going to be a pain but with a quick improvisation was actually pretty easy. I grabbed a shop vac and a funnel from my garage, put the funnel in the hoop and stuck the shop vac right in the funnel and it actually started sucking the water out. After 3 full shop vacs, the hoop was finally empty. I couldn't believe it worked either. I'm thinking of laying down concrete and moving the hoop into my backyard because even though it does look great in front of the house (seriously the thing is like eye candy), I am nervous about neighborhood kids playing on it or someone even throwing it on a trailer and stealing it (jokes on them though easy transportation is not one of this products talking points so I recommend building it, not to far away from where you want to leave it). Also on that note DON'T EXPECT THIS HOOP TO STAY IN YOUR DRIVEWAY AND THAT YOU'RE EASILY GOING TO ROLL IT OUT TO THE STREET WHEN YOU WANT TO PLAY. THe hoop is just downright scary to move. Its so top heavy that I had to use a hand truck. So right now Its staying in front of my house on the street which is not only illegal and taking up a parking spot, but also very nerve racking, as I do not know who's out there. I already had two kids, I've never even seen before, ring my bell and ask to play on it. A positive of this hoop however, is that you can remove the lever that adjusts it. So i set it to 10 feet and took out the lever, that way no one else can lower the hoop so I dont have to worry about kids having a dunking contest on a 700$ glass hoop.So yeah thats basically it. This hoop has its issues but like I said, If you want something that will actually improve your game at an indoor court without breaking the bank too much, this hoop is the way to go. It looks great, it feels great, and it came with a free baskbetball. NOw if you excuse me, I'm going to go shoot around.
