I had the same problem, but I put a thick towel over the top of the post and took a short mallet to it. you could do the same thing with a hammer. (lightly tap with pressure, lol dont go beating it up.)

We applied liquid soap as the lubricant and pushed it in a rotating fashion.I hope this helps.

I had difficulty with the entire set-up from beginning to end. As far as the posts, I originally had that problem because I had the posts in the wrong insert. Once I switched them around, the posts were fine. It was the backboard that was the worst - popped off and hit my son in the face, knocking off his glasses. I ended up returning the entire set. Good luck and be careful.

I agree...they don't seem to be in all the way but the goal is working perfectly. Our grandchild loves it!

Hi Katie! My husband had the same issue and tried several screwdrivers to screw them in as much as they would go, but he could only get them to screw about half way in. While not ideal, the top part felt very sturdy even with half of the screw in each pole. He covered those screws with the small, circular foam piece for that section and then put the netting over top of that, and it has held up very well to my kids crazy bouncing. I wish the screw holes were a bit bigger so that those screws actually could fit into them. We were afraid to try and drill bigger holes for fear then they would be too wide and the screws would not hold at all. If you do find a good solution, please share!! =)

My twine holder was delivered with the post and base separated and would not stay together - I could see there was some glue on the post - I contacted Amazon and asked if I should attempt to fix the item or return it - Amazon customer service said the twine holder was broken and sent me a refund - Good luck -

You have to use double sided post-it notes and the weight of the top holds it in place ;-)

I would agree with the other posters. Send it back and get another, that has to be a fluke. Mine is solid as a rock. I have been very happy with it.

I have developed the same problem ! Instead of pushing it in directly, try sliding it in from the bottom of the position.I can get it to stay like that, but it doesn't go in all the way. Still, it stays in place although not perfectly.If i find another solution, i will let you know.

Welcome to the club my friend! I took a look at some youtube videos to see how to put it together and the pieces don't really fit well but I was still able to put it all together with some help and since then I have kept it that way.

Wish I could help you, but.... I bought it a long time ago & I never had a chance to put it up. So it's sits in my garage until it's a priority.However.... I was thinking of posting it on a wood post. Like an outside lamp light post. Not to sure how yet. But eventually... I will get around to putting it up. Sorry not much help!

They just fit right over the top of the post and depending on the quality of your post, you may need to file it a bit. Ours were snug, but they come with two screws that you can use to further secure them if necessary.

Mine are very tight. The wood they are mounted to tends to move. It's all in how you mount them.

It does not have the openings for the posts. I am using it like that though it just creates a loop around the post. I suggest you look for the right model.

I have 2 lined up also. Just make sure you don't hang too much weight from them, as 3 might encourage you to store more on top! And as the other comment indicated, hitting the center of the framing is critical. Have fun!

Mine were initially not level. I had to loosen the two platforms and then tighten the crossbar that holds them together. Next, I tightened the platforms; paying close attention to keep their levels even. A little bit of a pain but much more aesthetically pleasing. I do not think having one platform higher than the other will pose any problems other than looks as long as everything feels solid.

You screw it to the post to make the post upright, and then yes, you need to dig around said post and pour concrete the same way you would if you were putting in a new post. Super easy. My faulty post was damaged "in ground," so in my case, there's no way the post would stay upright and steady.

Hello Donna. We never had that problem but maybe it is off level. Try on a different surface or maybe stairway got bent. Good luck!

The close-up photo probably makes them look like they stick out further than they do in real life. Like the previous answer, I have never had an issue with anything bumping into them. Even if they got pushed in a bit, you could easily pull them out by tugging on the post.
