It is easily adjustable, so I think it is just perfect toys

This is a christmas present for my 1yr old boy that is just starting to get into throwing balls and kicking them. It is easily adjustable, so I think it is just perfect for him and his 4 yr old sister to play with. I have no complaints about the toy itself what so ever. How it was shipped however?? More an more things I order are being drop shipped in just the product box. Not long ago, you order anything from amazon and it either came in a box within a box, which for Christmas presents is great. This Christmas I am going to have to find boxes for many of the items I am getting as when you by more than one item they put everyhting in one box whetehr it has one of its own or not. I know this seems a bit silly to complain about, but I rec'd a pair of workman's knee pads ina box with several other ordered items just in a thin plastic bag! This one here the hoop was delievered after 4pm with both of the kids home trying to see who was at the door. Luckily our UPS lady knows we started X-mas shopping early and was kind enough to keep it on her truck until my wife put the kids in the back room and could hide it.
I bought this toy second-hand at a yardsale. The little clip was broken that positioned the hoop at different levels. My son played with it at its lowest level for a long time. Once he got older and wanted it higher, we just used a extra strength rubber band to position the hoop at different heights. This has worked great!! The basketball hoop stays elevated at the height we want, even while the kids are playing with it. My children enjoy knocking over, and it often falls foward, with the rim smashing onto the carpet floor. This has happened 100s of times and it is still intact!!!! We have several different brands of balls that we use, and as long as they are smaller in diameter, they fit! We loves this toy!
Kind of disappointed. I bought this for my nephew and getting it delivered via ups was an event in itself. they kept saying the address was wrong but the address was correct. come to find out the driver was new and didnt have a map. Once i finally got the toy the net was missing. I dont know about other folks but playing basketball without a net sucks on any court. did not contain an invoice so trying to call someone to see if I could get a net is difficult. Still trying, do not want to return the entire box because a 3 dollar net is missing.
