Pay very careful attention to the detailed assembly instructions. We got stuck at one point, it seemed the hardware was not a good fit, until we realized we had a few of the lower poles in reverse position. It was not obvious at first. It took three adults to install the support and netting. Otherwise, the installation went smoothly and quickly. Per the instructions, it is ideal to setup on flat ground. We thought our selection site was nearly flat but once assembled we realized it was not as the frame appeared to lean to one side. We carefully slid and rotated the trampoline to an adjacent flatter ground, and it looks much better. You are not supposed to move the trampoline once it is assembled but it is likely inevitable for most folks who place the trampoline on a lawn that needs to be mowed each week. However, the frame is lightweight aluminum so two adults can carefully shift its position without a struggle or any adverse effects. The UV protectors which cover the foam do not seem to stay in place well and have been slipping down every few days - see attached photo. However, the overall setup seems durable, including the fun basketball hoop accessory. We have no complaints about the aesthetics as it appears mostly black on the matte aluminum (not too shiny) frame. The trampoline is a generous size so our family of five can bounce together with plenty of space. Compared to all the other options available, this trampoline seems the best value for the price.
Great value
