Screw it lol. With all the hardware missing reviews. Il gamble on it. If im missing a few screws out the box and its a quality hoop then il go to a hardware store and pick up a few bolts and nuts. Redrilling existing holes is easy as well.

Why would you take it apart? The whole point I was trying to make is that you would make sure it has all the parts before attempting to assemble it. Then, if it doesn't have all the parts, you either contact the company to get them (for free), or box it back up and take it in for a return.

I know not everyone is bob the builder but have folks lost the courage to find a few replacement bolts and screws in their leftovers box? Or pick up some for a few dollars at Walmart or box store?

I mean I understand if it's missing a whole piece of the main POST lmao but a few bolts and screws for this price.. is not convenient but also not end of the world.

We have it too good in America. Thank you, Lord.

We want it cheap but also get upset if it's made in China and we cr@p on it, but still want it cheap, but expect 4x price quality control and construction.. can't have it all ways.

Peak 2022 America, putting your 1.5 cents where it doesn't even belong. Stop crapping on other people for wanting this especially since it meets their expectations and usage.

Ordered this Friday and came this morning. Just finished putting together. Took a couple hours and needed my wife to assist on a few steps.

Perfect hoop for my 5 and 7 year olds.

No issues with missing parts. And box was mostly unscathed from shipping.

Again it's a$75 basketball hoop. Verify you have all parts and everything looks good before assembly.

Now I have to go beat my kids at horse.

Is the backboard decent? Does the ball bounce off of it well or does it sound like it will shatter sooner or later?

No it's decent. I had plenty of bricked shots today and doesn't seem like it will shatter right away. Time will tell.

Got this in yesterday and built it with no issues. All the parts were there and the box was in good shape. It is much nicer than I anticipated and a good starter hoop for younger kids.

Mine got delivered a few hours ago. Box is ripped wide open on both ends. Will check contents when I have time this weekend.

Update 4/24: everything was there but the instructions. Was able to find this online which was good enough to get it assembled. https://cdn.spalding.com/manuals/M7A1220.pdf

No wheels, no manual, missing metal clip, no net, no bolts / etc. Only base, mast, goal, and few brackets and backboard, box look as though it was returned and was taped back together....i complained to customer service on the phone and had them come back out to pick up later this week, got $25 gift card for my troubles. Its actually going back repacked better than received...didn't want to f' over the fedex person if it busted to pieces when picking up.

delivered today, everything came in one piece and luckily no missing parts.

note to others: few items are inside the base and few inside the tubes, so please check before returning this product.

thanks to SD, awesome deal.

Good price but it was so hard to setup. I sheared one of the bolts on the base. The quality was just so bad. For $75, can't really complain
