Just set it up and that was very easy. The Trampoline is a great size and it well built. It holds up to a ten year old so we will see how long it lasts.

We bought this for my son's 2nd birthday almost 1 year ago. He loves and uses it daily. The product has held up perfectly. We used 8 months outdoors in CA before moving to CO and putting it in our basement. It's a great size for kids 2-5, any older you would need something bigger. This is a great product if your kids love to jump!

We bought this trampoline in July 2012. Kid loves it however I just noticed that the mat with attached spring cover needs to be replaced. Also, every so often bolts and screws need to be checked to make sure they have not come loose.

Don't get me wrong, the idea of this small trampoline is great and my kids have loved it for the last year (ages 2 and 5 at the time of purchase). However, after about 8 months (basically after the summer and rain season) the foam started to fall apart and my kids would be covered in blue particles from head to toe. The net is also falling apart and it looks terrible.
I just called customer service to try to purchase a replacement net and foams and I was told that no replacement parts are available for this trampoline now or probably in the future. So I inquired about the warranty since I have friends who have recently purchased and are within what I thought was the 1 year warranty. Here is the answer friends...foam and net have a 90 DAY warranty and no parts are even available for replacement should you want to pay for them.
So anyway...I just wanted to let everyone know, since I feel bad enough to have recommended this to too many of my friends. I am making a point to post this on every website I can, I think you should have the right to know that the manufacturer expects us to throw this away after a few months or a year, instead of making replacement parts available for purchase.

This trampoline was very easy to put together. We set it up in our playroom in our house. Our 2 year old and 4 year old love it. The only improvement I would make is adding padding around the metal bars at the base of the tramploine. There is lots of padding everywhere else but my boys always seem to find that one spot where they can get hurt.

We got this for my almost 5 year old for Christmas this year. It's his favorite present by far! It was a breeze to put together, took my husband an I just about an hour. The directions were pretty easy to follow. I looked at a few other smaller trampolines and I think this one is the best choice! The safety features are great and all of the reviews I read were really positive. The jumping area is definitely big enough for at least 2 children and my husband who weighs about 200lbs was on it without problem. The only thing that I think they could've changed was the zipper design. I feel like over time it will loosen and be easy to open and close but with it being brand new we have to be very careful because it seems like the netting is too tight so you have to pull it together to close the zippper. My 4 year old definitely couldn't get in and out of this on his own. Overall I would buy this product again!

We bought this trampoline for our granddaughter at the beginning of summer 2012. She absolutely loves it. The main reason I am writing has to do with hurricane Sandy that hit our area in NJ big time a couple of weeks ago. As amazing as it sounds, the trampoline did not budge. It stayed bolted into the ground without moving. There were not even any damages to the screen or anywhere else. I felt I had to let people know how strong it is when "Sandy" picked houses up off their foundation, and this trampoline was unscathed!

This has been a great purchase! We bought it 3 months ago and my 4-year old was using it several times each day during the summer and when it isn't rainy now. He loves it and his friends and 3-year old cousin have a great time too! My older son who is 7 also likes it but not as much as the 4-year old. It is very sturdy and looks quite durable which is important since it will be outdoors all winter. The setup was reasonable with my husband and I working on it and the directions were quite good. I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone - in fact my sister was looking into purchasing one as well!

I bought this trampoline for my sons 2nd birthday and he LOVES it! He is timid of heights but b/c this trampoline is designed lower to the ground, he has no fear. He absolulty loves that he can get it and out on his own and he is able to zip himself in and out of it. Great job on the double-zipper design. The trampoline is actually very easy to assemble. I have read other reviews that talk about 2-3 hours to put together and that is simply not true if you have 2 adults that can read, it only takes 1 hour. They even provide this awesome tool that helps you stretch the springs, otherwise you would be in trouble,lol, but with it its a snap. I love that it is durable and sturdy, yet very light weight to move. Two people can pick it up over their heads (we did to move it onto our deck for winter). All the springs are covered with a secured pad and the netting is also tied down for security, so I was very happy with that. I'll also mention that it holds me (150 lbs) and my two year old at the same time with out a squeek so its safe to get in with your kids :) The ONLY thing I didn't like about putting it together, was the metal had "metalic dust" all over it, so I suggest wearing gloves of some sort when putting it together, I was not expecting that until I started to put peices out and noticed my hands were silver. Bottom line, This is an awesome first trampoline for toddlers and young children :)

I have 3 small kids that love this tramoline. It is very sturdy and doesn't seem like it can be knocked over easily with the wind. It can also be moved easily for mowing the lawn. Easy to put together. I did it by myself in one night. It has already rained a few times and no issues so far.
