Amazon.com Product Description
Hone your jump shot in your spare moments or perform a backyard dunking drill with this Lifetime portable basketball system. Unlike in-ground basketball hoops--which are typically anchored in concrete--this portable hoop rolls on wheels, letting you position the basket support in your desired location, from the back patio to the middle of the cul-de-sac. All you have to do is fill the 27-gallon base with water or sand and play. 
The Lifetime hoop adjusts from 7.5 to 10 feet in 6-inch increments. | Lifetime knows that younger players aren't always ready for a 10-foot hoop, which is why the basket boasts a height-adjustment mechanism. The telescoping mechanism adjusts from 7.5 to 10 feet in 6-inch increments--no tools required--letting players of all ages and skill levels enjoy the game on their own terms. Aspiring dunkers can also gradually raise the basket 6 inches at a time as their vertical improves, although the 18-inch solid steel rim is not a breakaway rim. The black rim is instead extremely stable, with 1/2-inch steel braces, welded steel net hooks, and a 50-gram net. And players needn't worry about the 44-inch backboard wearing dramatically over time thanks to the UV-protected, high-density polyethylene construction. This sturdy plastic material helps the board resist chipping and cracking while protecting the graphics from fading. Also equipped with a black, powder-coated, three-piece pole, the Lifetime system carries a five-year warranty. About Lifetime
In the beginning, all the founder of Lifetime Products wanted was a sturdier basketball pole for his backyard. With this in mind, he found and purchased a piece of heavy-duty used pipe, a sheet of plywood, and a basketball rim. The resulting backyard basketball standard functioned perfectly in his backyard. Seeing the potential of his hoop, he placed an ad in the local free classified newspaper and made his first sale. The rest--as they say--is history. He created the American PlayWorld Company in 1973, based out of his garage in Riverdale, Utah. After expanding into several other types of playground equipment, he eventually moved to a bigger location in South Ogden, Utah. Several years later, the company transformed the basketball industry by introducing the Quick Adjust basketball pole, the first complete basketball system you could raise and lower with a broomstick. In 1986, American PlayWorld created Lifetime Products, a separate company intended to concentrate specifically on manufacturing adjustable basketball systems. In the ensuing years, the company has grown from having 18 employees in a 32,000-square-foot space in half a warehouse to more than 1,400 employees and 2.6 million square feet over 23 separate buildings.

This was for my 4 year old grandson. He called to tell me, "It's perfect!" It can even withstand the hyper-energy of his 7 year old big brother. What more can I say?

This Lifetime 1221 Portable Basketball System is excellent for small kids. It arrived within a few days of ordering from Amazon. Not being a great do-it-yourselfer, I made sure that I had everything I needed before trying to assemble the System: bought the several bags of sand; made sure I had all the tools as instructed; checked to make sure all the parts were included as listed.
As mentioned in other reviews, the most difficult part was attaching the rim to the backboard to the pole all at once. It took me and my wife and the two kids to get through it, but we made it through the sweat and tears (it was hot that day!). Make sure you only hand-tighten when first attaching the rim to the backboard to the pole; we forgot and had to un-do all our hard work before completing the last few steps. We filled with sand rather than water for the system to be more stable, and it sure is.
Not really for dunking I guess (but I haven't really tried), and the backboard doesn't provide great bounce, but really, nobody should be complaining about these minor items for this price. This is my first purchase of a "Lifetime" product, and I am impressed by its good quality, including the assembly instructions.
The kids are having a ball everyday... me, too! Enjoy!
great product May 8, 2009

Great product for the price.....I had no problem filling it with water instead of sand, because we live in California and the water will not freeze. Difficult to put together...you need two people for sure...and some patience...but my kids love it

For a simple Basketball hoop to just shoot around it's perfect. It's definitely not for dunking. It also wasn't that hard to put together. The directions were simple. Basically, it's a great hoop if you're not going to dunk.
