The system is great for recreational play at home once it is assembled after the frustrations. I was happy to get it for $154 at Amazon.The board is Polycarbonate which means the ball will NOT bounce back as a board made of Glass but you cannot expect a Glass board at this price anyway.The setup was ok. The instructions that came with the system was good and sufficient in putting this together. Just make sure to read it properly and refer to the diagrams and notes in each step. It also helps is organizing the different parts in the work table before beginning to put it together.Two parts were missing and I have been waiting for a week for the company to send them to me and still not arrived. The system is just sitting in the driveway without the hoop.Overall a great system to play in the driveway but be ready for frustrations.
