Yohood Basketball Hoop Outdoor 10ft Adj (Open Box)

I'm still not clear how I feel about this basketball hoop. There are about a million different brands to choose from and each one has several negative reviews. This hoop was cheap at $140 vs. the $400-$500 hoops at Dunham's I feel are overpriced with plenty of negative reviews as well. I put this hoop together myself, first thing I noticed is it's extremely lightweight, I feel the parts could bend very easily. I live in the woods so I don't anticipate wind being a problem, but if you're somewhere windy I suspect this may blow over or bend the parts. It probably took me about an hour to put together. All pieces fit together nicely. I added all 3 sectional poles for maximum height. My boy wanted it lowered so I adjusted the height of the hoop. It is fairly easy to adjust, but does take a bit of muscle. Needed a stepladder, socket wrench and regular wrench to adjust. It took me less than 5 minutes to adjust, but It's not a simple adjustment like many hoops, it does take a bit of work and most will probably leave it and one height due to the slight difficulty. A child cannot adjust the hoop height. The backboard is soft and when the ball hits the backboard it flexes or sways back and forth, so it doesn't bounce off nicely like a solid backboard will. My boy is under 13 and he's happy with this hoop so far and I don't expect him to be dunking or abusing the hoop in any way, but I don't know if he'll get annoyed with the flex of the backboard as he does play on a team when school is in session and knows how a real backboard should work. I don't expect this hoop to last long, if I get 2 years out of it I'll be surprised. The base again is flimsy, but I filled it with water and it holds nicely so far. We have hard winters so I'll have to empty the base and take the hoop apart so it doesn't freeze in the winter. Overall it serves the purpose it's made for, but I wouldn't count on it lasting very long.
