It took me 5 trys to put the thing together and 5 hours. If I wrote up the instructions I would have placed nunbers on each part to identify which parts go together which I will do if I have to take it apart.

Overall, this is a good value for the cost. That said: Due to its oval shape, it's complex to install properly on the first try, and the instructions are pretty confusing. The foam padding for the net risers is also very cheap. Finally, there is much less spring then the previous 3 or 4 trampolines I've owned. Guessing this has more to do with the sheer size rather than the quality of materials, but notable nonetheless.

The directions were really hard to understand and it took several hours to put together. Because of the poor instructions, we ended up having to take it back apart in order to get the netting to line up properly with the poles. We also had a problem after first attempting to space the springs out like the directions said that resulted in 1 or 2 springs being over stretched. Overall it is a good trampoline but the instruction manual needs improvement.

I got this for my 4 yr old gbaby. It took 2 guys an hour and a half to assemble. Very nice trampoline, built sturdy and looks like it will last for years to come. The assembly isn't bad, but make sure you look at the poles as some have circles and some squares, it's important to set one square then the next circle and so on and so forth.

This 17' x 15' oval trampoline is great. We replaced a 14' round and this oval gives a much better bounce. Unlike most other reviewers, I had no issues with assembly. All pieces were clearly marked, and if you read the instruction manual it is no problem.

Trampoline itself is great. No complaints what so ever. The directions however are a little confusing. It took us 2 hours to put it together. Read the instructions and then read them again. It will save you time in the long run. Also loved the free shipping!

We love it...it’s huge...really great bounceability...NOT oval...perfectly round! Read ENTIRE directions prior to starting assembly. It’s easy but you get almost done and they throw an assembly curve ball. Again...even though it’s round it is still large enough for our 6 grandkids...we love it.

This is a great trampoline. The instructions lack clarity. Hint. Line up the net mesh enclosure (where the poles will go) with the square openings on the trampoline frame or you will be taking off 96 springs and putting them on again. Using a tape measure is also critical. If I were writing the directions I would use bigger pictures and be more specific and go step by step. It is an oval trampoline and that makes a huge difference. Once installed CORRECTLY it is a great trampoline.

The trampoline was pretty easy to assemble. The only reason I give it 4 stars is that we had to remove the surround as it would block our views at the lake. We do watch to make sure the kids are not being dangerous. That being said it made it very difficult to place the mat as the trampoline is oval and not round. I did go on YouTube and found a video tutorial and we are 98% sure its where it should be. So, I guess its not the kids being dangerous we need to worry about.

We shopped around and read lots of reviews and determined that Skywalker is the best brand. We also knew we wanted the maximum space for jumping and since the rectangle shape is pricier than the round or oval, we went with oval. Skywalker NEEDS to update their assembly instructions and mark both the frame and jumping surface with which sides are the long part of the oval. It is extremely hard to tell! Assembly took several hours but only because there weren't any identifying marks which meant we had to reassemble a couple times until we got it right. Once completed, we love it! Tip: We bought some deep ground stakes also as it will fly away with strong winds.
