Quick answers

Will an over-the-door hoop damage my door?

The bracket can dent thin hollow-core doors over time. I added felt pads behind the hooks on every one of my picks and we've had no damage.

What age is an indoor hoop best for?

Most work great from 3 to 10. Past 10, kids generate enough force that a free-standing adjustable hoop is a better fit.
