My wife and I set to put this together today so that we would have time to put other things together on Christmas Eve... Well, I figured that based on some other reviews, alcohol would end up being consumed while we fought it. I read the directions (what there were) and about 5 minutes later, the frame was all put together. There are 4 pieces that make the circle. Two joints are slip together joints like old style tent poles. That's easy enough. The other two joints have the "outer" and "inner" fittings set up a little different. You put the inner pipe into the scoop on the outer pipe at a 90 degree angle. Once you have both joints lined up, you simply fold it down to make a circle. With very little manipulation (my wife isn't that strong), they pop right into place. A simple washer and bolt are used to secure them. Now, the "wrench" they give you isn't worth a crap. Find a 9/16" wrench (I think that is the size -- or find an adjustable wrench) to tighten it down. But don't do that until you put some weight on it to keep it flat. My wife and I found it easy enough to do while holding it upside down with her standing on the frame. Now, don't screw the legs on till you get the protectant pad in place. The legs screw on but you first have to take off the protective caps. They screw off but are hard to unscrew... I found it easier to pry them off with one of the legs... like opening a beer bottle. Be careful when you screw the legs in that you don't pinch the protective pad. It might not rip it but why take that chance. Patience pays off here. Anyway, I think we spent 20 minutes putting it together. It took probably less than 2 minutes to have the frame together, another 5 to put in the bolts. Well, about 3 minutes of that was me going to the tool box to get a real wrench after bending the free one into some kind of origami crane or maybe a turkey. Whatever it was, it wasn't pretty. I then spent the rest of the time getting the caps off the frame for the legs, attaching the legs, taking the legs off... stupid me forgetting the protective pad, putting that pad on, and then screwing the legs back in place. My 2 year old climbed on and started bouncing up and down.. doesn't look too safe. Anyway, that's not the jumper's fault.
I'm putting PROS and CONS together since the CONS aren't really that bad and there's only one of them. The fit and finish of the trampoline is very good. The protective pad looks and feels cheap but honestly, I think the trampoline would be just about as safe without it anyway. Those bands look a lot more safe than springs. The origami wrench was.. wretched.
If you are on the fence about getting it, go ahead. It gets my seal of approval. "Arf arf arf" (how would you spell the sound a seal makes anyway?)
