 Great for Big Boys! Jun 11, 2010
I purchased this for my husband for his 26th birthday, and he loves it. We had a pool party, and lets just say this baby was a hit. Just be prepared to wear the corner of the pool if you decided to go Phi Slama Jama on the rim.
We chose this model mainly for the 'lightning basketball' sticker on the backboard. That sticker is now on the back window of his truck.
The rim does break away pretty easy, but our only experience is from a 6'2" 200+ lb'er hanging on it. I had read reviews about the net falling off as well, but this was not an issue because he said it reminded him of playing as a child in the 3rd Ward, where they couldn't afford nets.
Overall I would recommend this product. Just make sure, if you absolutely insist on dunking (let's face it, it's not the WNBA so of course you're going to dunk), don't hang from your elbow.

My grand daughter loves this hoop. It's not designed for hanging on the hoop and does tip over if you don't put sand or water in the base. It's a very nice toy, and i am glad i bought it!

Best purchase I've made for my grandkids. They love it and play with it all the time. From age 3 to age 13.

 Terrible quality - falls apart! Apr 25, 2010
This is the first review of anything I've ever written, and I'm doing it to spare parents the pain and expense of purchasing this basketball hoop. We purchased this for our basketball obsessed 3 year old after he outgrew the smaller Little Tikes basketball hoop. First, as others have said, the net definitely does not stay on. We purchased a new "real" net to put on it and that fell off too. We used twist-ties to attach the net to the hoop as one reviewer suggested and that lasted about two days. Additionally, the "breakaway" part of the rim is a little too "breakaway". It now won't stay up at all, after only three months use. My son always wants me to stand next to the hoop and hold it up while he shoots, which of course I can't/won't do. We are now trying to find a new basketball hoop. Terrible product.

 Not durable at all Jan 22, 2010
The breakaway rim and the adjustable post for this product are made of flimsy plastic. My 1 and 3 year olds had fun with it for a few weeks, but one afternoon of 4-year-old-cousin dunks, and the plastic was mashed up to the point where the rim and the post would not stay up. Duct tape and screws kept it out of the trash for another few weeks, but no more. (All the relevant parts are hollow, molded plastic, so there's not even the satisfaction of a broken piece that you could try to glue, tape, screw, splint or otherwise mend -- the plastic just loses its shape and won't hold in place.)
I won't give it a 1 -- I admit we used it rough -- but if you can't dunk on a kiddie hoop I don't think it deserves more than a 2. If you are prepared to keep heavier balls* and bigger kids away from this, you'd probably get a longer life out of it, but I don't think it's reasonable to have to use kid gloves on what is meant to be an active toy. (*By heavier balls I mean you probably shouldn't use other toddler-sized basketballs and playground balls -- the balls included are like those ultra-light balls that you buy in the grocery store for $0.99.)
