 Same nightmare as Michelle Sims reports March 11, 2008

I am having the same experience as previous poster Michelle Sims with the Spalding NBA 68395 Portable Basketball Hoop. In my case the parts for the wheel assembly were of poor quality and broke. These are the same wheel assemblies you find on many toys and this was terrible quality.
The three pieces of metal pole will not fit together. I have tried just about every type of force and there are still 3" or more that the poles need to move inside one another. Now with some small progress it seems impossible to back them out to try removing paint as Michelle Sims mentioned. The backboard also looks junky at the corners with glue visible. I bought what I thought was the best one but it was a terrible, awful buy.

This product shouldn't be sold. Step 1 in the assembly there were problems with the weel attachment. I had to rig something up to make it work. Ok and hour later...step 2 after wondering why the bolt instructed to use in the assemble didn't work, I quit. Then, I was talking about this problem with some parents and one said they had the same hoop and encountered the same problems. The problems didn't end with the instructions having a misprint with the bold. They continued to the supporting bars (the main support that held up the net). They don't fit together....it seems like the engineer for this system forgot to calculate for the paint on the "tight fit" of the support and paint stripper must be used to remove the paint in order for the parts to fit. What a nightmare! I have yet to finish assembling mine. My friend finished the project in 7 hours. I don't have 7 hours to remanufacture this disaster. I tried a jillion times to call tech. support with spalding. Conviently, no matter what hour you call, nobody answers. I'm going to see if I can return this to the store I purchased at.
Don't waste you money and toture yourself.

Pretty easy to assemble and solidly built. It has the kind of heft you don't find on many portables
