We paid $220 for this during COVID's peak, so this is a really nice deal. It's not the greatest quality but it's definitely worth $130 and some change (I wouldn't pay $220 for it again, though). The backboard itself does shake quite a bit and the ball bouncing off the base and launching itself in all different directions is annoying, but for the price it's definitely tolerable. We filled the base with sand which was a huge pain in the a$$ and took forever but it's NOT blowing over and will never leak (we probably won't ever be able to move it, either). If I had to do it over again though I would probably just go with water since it would be so much easier.

Price dropped to $121.54. A quick chat and they credited me back the difference plus tax.

Also, set it up yesterday. From the moment I opened the box to the kid taking his first shot after filling it with water was less than 3 hours. The instruction book was very clear and concise w/ pics. A lot of reviews complain about them, so maybe they've recently been updated. Laid all the parts out first. Then laid out parts for each step and it went very smooth. Just had one hole on the base/underside of the lower pole that wasn't quite opened all the way, making it very hard to attach to the base. Took it off the base, ratcheted in the bolt first, backed it out and then reattached and it went right in. That was the only hiccup.

It is very sturdy and backboard doesn't seem to have all that much shake as some have mentioned..

Awesome deal, thanks for posting! I remember passing on this when it was $175, hoping to get the acrylic one at Costco for $220.

My kid's birthday is in a few weeks, so this is perfect timing.

No Circle offers for me or wife's account, but still a great price and i just ordered.

Thaaaanks OP! Perfect timing. Was looking for a decent deal for past few days.

BTW, Target charged me a bag fee, looking forward to see how big the bag would be. (it's refundable $1).
Happy Father's day for all the dad's out there.

Fyi, I bought the 44"of this and it was junk. I know I'm not comparing the same item, but I imagine they use the same manufacturer. I ordered it twice. The first time the base had a crack in it. The box is huge and getting it back in and to target good a refund was a pain. The second one, the braces on the base didn't line up to the pole. There was no way to attach then together without bending the thing. Assembly was a nightmare. Loaded it up in the suv and took it back. Target was great at accepting the return, just keep in mind its easy. The poles are not meant to detach once you put them together.

With that said, I bought a similar priced Lifetime hoop off Amazon.

I've had this for 3 seasons now and it has held up to sweltering heat, rain and even a freeze in Houston. Filled with water once and forget it. Pretty sturdy. The only negative is that the base is pretty close to the rim, so you have to be careful where you land on layups or dunks to not twist an ankle. Awesome price.

I purchased this same board earlier this year. It wasn't too hard to set up and it works well for younger kids just playing PIG or shooting around. The backboard shakes when balls hit it (closer to the edges the more it shakes). That makes it less than ideal for learning layups. However free throw shots straight on that hit square get a good bounce so it's good for learning straight on shooting.

If any of my kids get serious about playing hoops I'll need to upgrade it but for now it's great.

Also I filled ours with water and will put in the special anti-freeze for these at some point. It doesn't move at all even when I want it to. Very solid base.

Had one of these for 5 years. Pretty good quality. The backboard recently started cracking. Pulling the trigger on this one. Thanks OP.

P. S. was a pain in the @#$ to put together.
