Ok I would just like to say that my father, who is helping me build this for my son, was a computer scientist for NASA for nearly 40 years… the directions are SO unclear that we are 3 hours into building this thing and I'm about to light it on fire! I hope it turns out okay because as it stands right now, I don't think my dad will ever help me with anything again and I'm about to just give up and leave it in pieces sprawled across my backyard. I would have gladly spent an additional $200 for an easier to assemble trampoline.

We're writing this review because of so many other complaints that we didn't see with ours. Assembly was easy if you have general assembly experience, all with the exception of the basketball hoop. The instructions were adequate and we did have instructions for the basketball hoop, others said theirs didn't. Total assembly from start to finish was 2 hrs 15 minutes, the first half was just one person and 3 people for the end. The spring puller worked well, I don't understand the other comment that it hurt their hand. Tools used were a screwdriver, a standard hammer, a rubber hammer, and a 10ft A-frame ladder to attach the basketball hoop. The basketball hoop would have been the most challenging part of the assembly without a tall ladder, you have to align holes in 2 pipes and put a screw through it at ~10-12ft off the ground. If you don't have a ladder, you could remove the netting poles again to bring it down lower for easy reach. I did need to minorly reshape 2 ends of the frame pipe with a hammer to make them slide into each other, no big problem though. Also, although one or two of the jumping mat rings were irregularly spaced, the springs stretch enough so that an inch of difference here and there isn't a problem. So that comment from others about the hole spacing confuses me, seems like it could be overcome since the springs are forgiving and stretch. Hope this helps someone else, the kids are loving it. : )

I do not recommend this trampoline. It is unsafe before it is even assembled. The small metal buttons that click the poles into place have very little tension. A small child are able to press them in easily. The holes are large enough to place in a small finger. My 6 year old did this, while we were assembling. The poles collapsed on her finger. It chopped off her fingertip. The correct term is "traumatic fingertip amputation". We are sending this back. It is very dangerous. I do not recommend this particular trampoline to anyone.

The actual trampoline seems to be built well and would be easy enough to assemble. The frame is made for 96 slots but the mat only had 72 v rings. So we are having to return it after hours of trying to put this together to surprise our daughter with for her birthday. So disappointing.

the hem on the trampoline part did not last more than 2 years. springs started coming off and one of them hurt my child. Returning it has been a hassle because it seems they don't want me to return it , but it doesn't work since its broken. so beware of that as well.

Great item. My granddaughters love it! Assembly isn't too hard with 2 people, about an hour.

Easy set up instructions, spacious, fun for the whole family all ages, just as imaged

Great product. Wouldve given 5 stars but the baksteball goal is 100% worthless.

Love it not bad for the price I pay for it

Great for Christmas!! Found this product at a price I could not refuse.
