This is an EXCELLENT purchase, and my kids love it.
The trampoline is really quite easy to put together and is very well made. I would recommend this purchase to anybody, and it is very much worth having. A 16/foot circular trampoline for 400 dollars and some change. For the money, you just cant beat it! We are VERY satisfied.
Any product however, has at least some room for criticism, so here are my criticisms about this product:
1) Although the legs appear to be symmetrical, the instructions dont tell you that its important to face the legs in the correct direction or else the screw holes wont line up correctly. Even so, its easy enough to just turn the legs around the correct way and then the screw holes line up just fine.
2) Again regarding the instructions, when I got to the step of installing the rods that hold up the safety net to the legs of the trampoline, the instructions were not very clear on where and how they were to be affixed to the rest of the trampoline Looking at the legs (and not the instructions) makes it clear enough though that you have two holes in each leg that line up with two holes in each safety net rod, and that you have to put the plastic stand/offs between the legs and the rods, pass the bolt through the rod, the stand/off and then the leg, place a washer on the back, and then install the nut. There isnt a great deal of bolt thread for the nut to screw onto, but I didnt find any that were too short to be used. In the end, all parts supplied were of adequate size and the product is strong and sturdy when everything is installed properly and tightened up as it should be.
3) Also the spring installation tool that comes with it is weak and it broke (snapped in half) when I was installing the springs, so I had to fashion another installation tool using some metal rod that I happened to have laying around my garage and a torch to heat it up with and to bend the rod into something adequate to grab hold of the springs. Once I did that, I was able to get the springs installed just fine.
Would I recommend this product. ABSOLUTELY!
Excellent Trampouline / Highly Recommended.
