The trampoline came in three different shipments. Its a nice trampoline and we did receive all the parts it just made us nervous because we thought we were waiting for two shipments per previous reviews The seller was very professional and we received all parts.
In my estimation, it is impossible for a trampoline to be rated with 5 stars because they are inherently dangerous by design, if not used safely. With that having been said, I think this is one of the safest ones I saw in my research, while being economical, as well. I bought this one to put in my back yard for my granddaughter and it is streaks ahead on safety features than the one I put back there 25 years ago or so for my daughter when she was a young gymnast. The surrounding net and the padded poles combined with the covering over the springs to avoid pinched flesh for jumpers who get to close to the edge, add a comforting degree of safety if the jumper follows the common/sense rules like staying in the middle, not doing flips, etc. Since this one came from China in two large boxes, I was relieved, even shocked, to find all the parts were there. In fact, it was precisely supplied and I had one washer extra left over. I assembled the trampoline myself and was surprised how relatively easy it was to put together and how everything fit very, very well. The only difficulty I encountered was with having to drill out about 5 or 6 holes in the vertical metal support legs where they attached to the round metal 15 horizontal ring. The hole was there, but the alignment was not quite precise enough to allow for the bolt to be inserted. The instructions indicated the assembly time was 75 minutes: dont believe itit took me 7 hours to do by myself, but then Im not a speed merchant and want to do things correctly the first time I do them. The only way the trampoline could be assembled in 75 minutes would be for the parts to be laid out and the job done by a team of people who knew what they were doing. Following the easy to understand diagrams, finding the parts one needed and doing the subtask at hand significantly slows things down. Another thing I should mention is that the instructions for tying the bottom of the net to the spring bases (so jumpers dont fly off by going under the net and falling on the ground) are not fully detailed. I wanted to make sure the entryway through the net flaps were large enough at the bottom so the zipper wouldnt be unduly weakened by people have to squeeze in an out through the middle of the zipper entryway with the bottoms being rigidly tied in. This probably doesnt make sense to someone just reading this, but think about it when you get into tying down the safety net to the springs and youll know what I mean. The instruction diagram doesnt address the situation well enough.
The trampoline came on time. Assembly went fine, though it took some strength and patience, and is best done with 2 adults. The real issue is the cheap poles that hold the netting up: they sit loosely into square brackets around the perimeter, and cannot be fastened in place. They dont fit in the brackets tightly, so they move all the time, making the whole structure shift and creak during jumping. The netting became lose after my kids used the trampoling 2/3 times.
Bought it for our toddler and we couldnt have made him happier! He jumps all day long. The size is right for him. Very smart detail/ a basketball net and a little ball. Overall very happy with this purchase!
Its honestly perfect for my 5 year old he has a blast on it and its a good size for our small town home backyard. I wouldnt suggest more than one person on it. Maybe two kids max. For the price its better than what I expected. Assembly took a while but it was all worth it!!
Read the instructions twice before you start. I had to partially disassemble twice to fix small errors. Otherwise, Im a happy customer.
I ordered thr 8ft trampoline which was perfect for a smaller backyard.
Hate to be a bummer, but please check what the American College of Orthopedic Surgeons and the American Academy of Pediatrics has to say about trampolines for kids below the age of six. We are not overly protective parents. My kid was riding a pedal bike without training wheels by three, but the research on trampolines below the age of six was enough to get me to put it away for another 3 years. In the three days weve had it we already had an ankle injury and a goose egg on his head.
My kids 3,6 and 9 love this. The dogs too! It held my husbands weight.
The basketball hoop kept sliding down so we took it off. But this thing was great for the price.
This 8 trampoline is of very good quality, sturdy, tons of fun and, most importantly, fits in our small yard.
Im a 52 woman and was able to assemble this on my own. I took a couple of breaks and was pretty sore the next day, but I got it done.

Ok trampoline, but poles and netting are very flimsy
The trampoline came on time. Assembly went fine, though it took some strength and patience, and is best done with 2 adults.

Would definitely recommend buying

Great trampoline only if your child is the right age and weight.
