Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Great basketball goal I have a 5 and 6 year old that love this goal. I like it because it is sturdy, a larger rim, and works well with a jr size basketball. Rating: - Huffy youth basketball hoop I thought this would be a stronger hoop than the fisher price ones, but I was wrong. The backboard is made of really thin cheap plastic that cracks very easily. The pump to blow up the basketball is also cheaply made and broke after a couple of uses. The small basketball that came with this set also needed air every day. I purchased this for my 3 year old and it only lasted one month. Rating: - Great item We bought this for our 4 year old son for his birthday. He loves it. His daddy and him are outside all the time playing basketball. The height is just right and he still has plenty of time to grow into it. The price was also very good for what I have been looking for. Rating: - Did not receive item ordered - Huffy 58296 Unfortunately, I did not receive the item I ordered but a replacement. When I called, I was told I would receive a call regarding why I did not receive what I ordered. Never received the call and it was too close to Christmas to really pursue any further. Was disappointed but the replacement made my grandson happy and that's what counts. However, am very reluctant to buy again unless I can be assured that "what I order is what I get".
