Best places to buy SKLZ Pro Mini Hoop Small Scale Basketball System

Over All Rating Reviews :

My 8 year old son loved this for XMAS and it has a great WOW factor when you open the box. Its one of his two favorite presents. He wanted me to assemble it for him right then, but I ran into two problems. I didn't have a needle on hand to inflate the ball (poor planning on my part), which is a realistic smaller sized ball that comes deflated. The bolts that are included are about a 1/4 inch too short to be able attach the hoop to the rim. The way it works is that the backboard plexiglass piece is sandwiched in between an orange metal plate that the hoop is attached to, and an another small orange metal plate that is on the back of the board. This back plate has some very rigid foam compression padding glued to it. Three machine screws are inserted through three holes through these three pieces, and then nuts are screwed onto the bolts. The problem is that I was unable to get a purchase on the bolts since they were about 1/4 an inch too short, and the only way to make them reach was to compress the foam, which I tried but couldn't do. Basically this thing is sitting unassembled until I make a trip to Home Depot to find some longer bolts. I'm knocking off one star for that. I was surprised by how well the hoop seemed to be made - its heavy duty with a real net and large spring. The problem is that I don't expect the backboard to stand much of a chance with the rim attached to this - the rim is identical in style and weight to a real rim, just smaller. The backboard, however, is a much thinner than expected piece of plexiglass. It is exactly 3/32 of an inch (this is less than 1/8 of an inch, 3/4 of 1/8 to be exact.) I'll knock of another star for that. I plan to prevent this likely breakage by attaching the hoop directly to the wall (or to thicker/larger board behind the backboard). With some longer longer bolts and doing something like from the start, the backboard doesn't need to support the rim at all. That would work really I think, and in that case the backboard would work OK. I really want this to work, but didn't expect to have to be creative.
