Good deal, I have been eyeing this one. Look at videos glass vs plastic backboard, I think it's worth the upgrade.

Hell of a deal. Been looking for one to go on sale this spring and this is nicer than I was hoping for at this price. Grabbed one. Thanks!

Just finished assembling one of these I got from Amazon for $699. Thankfully it's OOS at Costco for my zip or I'd have regrets.

Really nice hoop though. Great deal at $499.

I just finished assembling this and definitely needed some help lifting in certain steps. Overall very happy with the hoop.

FYI I have this same one from Amazon 5 years ago and the aluminum border on backboard is nice with no rust, but the rest of black support frame is plain powder coated steel and rusting through heavily by 3rd year. Maybe one more year before the support arms on base snap off. Height crank stopped working because of rust. Honestly I feel it's a design misstep for Spalding. The 4 arms are pretty thin and attach horizontally to plastic base so rain pools on them and prematurely rusts out the supports and then game over. I tried spraying marine protection paint on the bolts and arms, but alas, the rust has gone too far.

TLDR: front aluminum backboard good, but rest of steel frame rusts out within 5 years left outdoors.

Thanks for sharing, and advice to protect new one when assembling?

If I did it all over again, before frame assembly I would spray 2-part clearcoat on all frame pieces and let dry before assembly. USC SprayMax 2K is a great one, super hard coating that doesn't scratch easy, totally will protect the paint and metal from rusting out. Probably need 2 cans to complete, about $40.

Or if you want quick and less effective, after full assembly use a marine grade rust inhibitor spray on all bolts and parts that might get touched by water, especially the 4 that mount to base. Google up "marine anti rust protection spray." That will slow down active rust too. Boat owners use this stuff a lot. Warning though, this stuff is super sticky and will not come off clothes or fingers easy. Gotta let it fully dry. It also has a yellowish tint, so do not spray on the glass board or aluminum.
