I was hesitant to buy due to some of the bad reviews. I watched the manufacturers video and it actually voided at least one bad review about quality. Basically, check the springs before opening it up. Make sure they are all hooked up. I also repositioned the triangles to make sure the ribbon was laying flat or it could tear loose. It was rather easy to open. I used others advice about start it open and just kind fall forward and it snaps in place. I had mine open and then noticed three of the springs all bunched up because the fabric was in the point of the triangle and not on the flat side. To close it, I put part of it under the couch and pushed forward. It popped and I was able to close it up. Once closed in half it was loose enough to reposition the fabric attached to the springs. I opened it up again, same way as before and its a go. I use the handle bar right now. Let me rephrase. I dont use it during exercising but Ive needed it a couple of times to catch my self when I get off balance or when I start moving to the edge during jumping. Its easy to remove and I may remove it at some point but its not in the way and Im glad its there to catch me.
Great big mini trampoline
