Height Adjustment Broke :/

Our Son loved this as a child and played for it for years both inside and outside when he was older. It's even a blast to play with your child as well or even alone when you are bored counting how many baskets you can make. I rather have this then a good over the door set anyday as an adult which I have bought too! The cost would be about the same. Of course as soon we felt our Grandson was ready on his first Christmas we bought him one. Unfortunately he somehow by hisself was able to break off the height adjustment and it was never found. At least we assume that. It was most likly sweept away unnoticed or picked up and thrown out as trash. We have no idea when he did this, but as empty nesters there are no other children around to have broke it. The only dog we have is a 2 pound Yorkie, and she's NOT going to reach it even if her little teeth could do the damage. It has always been played with and sits in our Sons old room (guestroom now). I was shocked he was able to do this, but unnoticed by us since we didn't have a need to adjust the height. Maybe it was defected or broken off when it was shipped to us as I can't see how he could of done this. Plus at his age he isnt left alone even in the room he plays in awake more then a minute or two at the most. By the time we noticed this it was way too late to complain about it, so I am redoing my review now. It's all I can do. This is the ONLY reason I am taking off a star. If anyone has an idea as how we can adjust the height now, I would sure appreciate your time and advice.I consider this a must have for a child. The set will last for years, and your Child/Grandchild will play with it for years as well. Our Son even played with it off and on as a teen with his friends once we moved it outside when thinking he was way too old to play with it anymore and he grew up to be 6'2. We finally gave it away to another child otherwise I bet it would still be playable if we had it. Absolutely a must buy! Maybe years ago the height adjustment was more durable, I don't know why ours broke so quickly. We never had this problem with the first one we bought. Once again, If anyone has an idea as how we can adjust the height now, I would sure appreciate your time and advice. I am a GREAT Barber, but my fix it skills aren't very good. :) I consider this a must have for a child. The set will last for years, and your child/Grandchild will play with it for years as well. Our Son even played with it off and on as a teen with his friends once we moved it outside when we thought he was way too old to use his with his friends and he grew up to be 6'2. Absolutely a must buy! Maybe years ago the adjustment was more durable, I don't know why ours broke so quickly. I really suspect it came that way to us. I did once buy a new case from Revain once a long time ago, and it was shipped to me as used. Of course Revain made it good. The customer service flat out can not be beat. At my age I will guarantee it.Although the ball it comes with is great, I would suggest a POOF-Slinky 875 POOF 4-Inch Pro Mini Foam Basketball as an added ball to go with the set. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002TMY1C/ref=ox_ya_os_product_refresh_T1 as a second ball. Believe me the ball will be misplaced off and on, so it's nice to have a 2nd ball, and this one is awesome.Thank you for reading my review, and if you do have advice for me, don't be shy. Definitely buy this!
