Spalding 8839S Adjustable Basketball Lift System Reviews
| 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful  Decent product. Requires moderately hard assembly. Good for younger kids and light/recreational play., By artknows (Chicago, USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Spalding 8839S Adjustable Basketball Lift System (Sports) Santa brought a backboard, but no bracket to attach it. We wanted one that was adjustable for our small kids and found this. It can be raised and lowered with some degree of ease using a broomstick handle. The instructions are detailed and not too hard to follow.Assembly is not easy. I would not recommend this product if you don't know how to assemble nuts and bolts or have a hard time following diagrams and such. Ultimately it takes two adults to finish the assembly as one has to lift the backboard and bracket to the base while the other attaches it to the base. Better yet, just find a handyman and pay him to install it. Note that if you intend to attach it to your roof, you will need to buy about 6 bolts, washers and nuts as they are not included. I would give the bracket 5 stars (not judging on the assembly though, it is moderately hard), but the bracket tends to wobble a little bit when hit hard on the side. This seems to be because of the bracket... Read more 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful Nice product; does the job, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Spalding 8839S Adjustable Basketball Lift System (Sports) To start at the end, when the lift system is in place it provides a nice, stable support system for the backboard and hoop. In other words, it works well once it is in place.The installation instructions are not the best. (Mild sarcasm.) Key assembly requirements are not identified in a timely manner; at least three times we learned during a later step that something should have been done differently during an earlier step. If you are the type that reads the instructions all the way through before you start, and you remember what you read in the later steps when you are working on the early ones,then this won't be a problem for you. If, however, you are merely mortal, then you will probably have the opportunity to undo what you've done at least once, in order to do it again the right way. For us, installation in an admittedly challenging situation took about 5.5 hours. Your mileage may vary. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful Not so difficult once you get into it, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Spalding 8839S Adjustable Basketball Lift System (Sports) I purchased this product along with 'Spalding 79351 Backboard/Rim Combo with 44-Inch PolyCarbonate Backboard' and when I opened the 'converter' box I thought it would take a long time before I got this kit installed. The manual looked complicated and there were tons of parts. It took a little longer to get started on the first step as I had to get used to the parts and illustrations but once I got past the first couple of steps, the rest started to fall into place. I was able to complete this in probably 3 hrs to my surprise. I did the wall mount option which was pretty simple but I needed 2 more people to help lift it (attached to backboard) for mounting on the wall bracket. Overall its a good system for home use and works great with the Spalding Backboards. Product longevity is TBD but seems like a solid product. |
