My backboard is crooked? Spalding suggested I install arms attaching the backboard on the outside of backboard frame instead of inside. Didn't work.

Is it sitting on a slope? Even a 1/2" drop per foot slope ends up being 2" skew when the goal is perpendicular to the slope. Mine appeared the same way before I recognized my driveway was sloped that much. This may not help. I sent my first one back after the backbroard cracked while assembling. The second one (at present) has been great for three years now. As far as the arms are concerned, maybe one side (two arms) on the outside and the other side (other two arms) on the inside attaching the backboard? I don't what else to suggest. Good luck.

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 am not sure. I would suggest that you measure the width of the brackets and make sure that everything lines up. I am sorry I can't be of much help. I do know the back board is very heavy. Let me know if I can help.

You have to make sure of the bolt pattern. The backboard this went on was not a Huffy Pro Sport. Huffy has a customer service number. It is now spalding.

I just put my bike on crooked using the frame, but it would no doubt be better and more stable if I got a cross-bar adapter such as the Allen Sports Tension Bar Bicycle Cross-Bar Adapter which is one of the less expensive of such bars available on Amazon. May be I'll order one, myself :)!

We have found a resent problem with this frame. It has bent on the side where my 110 pound boy and his friend sat to play vidieo games. I am looking st various solutions to shore up the frame and mske it stronger. I bought this frame because the trendle bed we already had would fit below.

Slat position is fixed since they fit into grooves in the frame. But if you're handy with wood, you could probably figure something out.

I used a lot of sand, it is very stable. The backboard is more plastic than glass, so that might help protect it.

Love the bed, but hated the frame. I ended up bending the frame by pulling the footboard (bottom) in while sitting on the mattress. The only other solution was buying another frame, which I decided against. It looks fine once it is made up and I hardly notice that it (frame) was too long on one side. Still love the bed and get compliments on it every time I show the loft where it is being used. Thanks, rcaldwellgarrick@gmail.com

I agree with Mr. Reinhardt, the wood MUST be all the way into the bracket. Also, check that each leg is cut to the same size for BOTH brackets and that BOTH cross pieces are not warped. Good luck!

I pre-drilled holes inside near the corners of the posts. This will put the screws into the boards and secure them. I hope this helps.

The holes on the base can be a bit out of alignment like happened to me. Turn the base bottom side up and do a little twisting of the heavy weight to make it work. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem, but after a few trys I stretched it full out and it worked, then I had a problem hooking it to the rails as they were wider, I found if you tip the plastic to the outside it will jiggle in place. I have enjoyed using them.

Well, all I can say is that my frame has no holes at all. Sounds like you got a bad one. I have received many complements on my box.

The left side of the magazine rack has a non-finished face so that you can nail the backboard on the table. If you tried to reverse it you would be showing the non-finished edge

LOOK TO SEE IF THE FRAME HAS BEEN BENT AT ALL. IF SO MAKE SURE TO USE THE BEND TO HELP KEEP IT ON THE FRAME. I HAVE Never had this problem. Mine is quite old and I make sure the bend faces outward so it connects the snuggest.

The original box springs do NOT work well, you need a flat surface so there is not sagging - we removed the box springs, put in 2x4s and plywood and that works wonderfully well on the original frame
