This item works great. Design and quality are fine. What is not made clear until you read the directions is that you are supposed to remove and store it after every use. It's not that we are lazy, it is just very inconvenient to get a ladder and uninstall it after every play time. This probably isn't going to happen. We will likely remove and store it when the snow starts. I don't know how long it will last under these circumstances, but it probably won't be the advertised "lifetime". Oh, well.
VERY solid rim, easy to mount with a 5x5 or 5x4 bolt pattern. Comes with 3/8" bolts about 3 1/2" long. I had to buy longer bolts to go thru 3/4 plywood and a 4x4 treated lumber frame member on my homebrew backboard. Came with a reasonable quality net. Only complaint - the cover for the tension spring was a little difficult to fasten in place - screw holes didn't quite line up. The cover is as heavy-duty as the rim base itself. Mounting instructions are pretty sketchy, but should be unnecessary.
