Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm tired. Just spent the better part of 2 hours putting this thing together.
This products comes in a remarkably small box(aka lots of parts). 48 Bolts, 66 Flat Washers, 48 Locking Nuts, 22 Tubes, 18 other parts and 14 "Elastic Bands" from hell.
I'm pretty handy. There is really nothing around the house I am afraid to tackle. Build furniture, cabinets and have restored a truck or two.
If my daughter didn't really love this I would be very disappointed.
Here's the killer. Feeding the 14 elastic bands through 14 elastic loops in the "rebounder" is hard enough. Then you have to stretch the elastic band over the plastic ball that is on one end. There are about 6 of these that are pretty darn difficult. I ended up using a "spring hook" and some needle nose pliers to feed the elastic bands through the loops and brute force to stretch them over the plastic balls. I almost ripped a finger nail off. I tried to work it in a way that I wouldn't end up with a ton of difficult ones at the end. I basically did all four corners then worked between. Seemed to be less difficult that way.
The MDF backboard for the basketball hoops had cut outs in it for the scoreboard that looked like they were cut freehand by some guy with a router. Not exactly square, and the holes to mount the electronic scoring didn't line up perfectly.
Is it worth the $190 I paid? I really don't see how it should cost so much. But, my daughter loves it. Maybe I'll come back and update my review when I have to move the giant thing from her room. I didn't want this thing eating space in our playroom.
If you buy it, bring strong hands and patience. I wish I had taken the time to go dig out a ratchet and socket that fit instead of using the crappy wrench they provide.
