We got the 12/foot version of the trampoline. It arrived quickly, and there were no missing parts. My husband put it together himself pretty quickly and with no cussing. It is sturdy, and the net is significantly better quality than the one we had with our old trampoline, both on how its constructed and how it attaches to the base. I like that the pad height from the ground is a little lower than standard. My only beef is the ladder. The rungs are perpendicular to the rails (like a pool ladder) instead of being parallel to the ground. It is designed as a ladder that is positioned 90 degrees from the ground instead of at an angle to the trampoline pad, which means the rungs are at a wacky, uncomfortable angle when you step on them. Because the mat is low, lots of people could just ditch the ladder and climb on, but I have small children using the tramp, and they need a ladder. The kids dont complain, but Im a crusty adult and I dont like it. The ladder problem isnt a deal/killer, but thats why I gave this trampoline four stars instead of five.
Good trampoline, weird ladder
