Love this trampoline. It took me alone (63) years young female to assemble this about 3 hours. What took me the longest was screwing in the poles. Not that coordinated anymore..ha ha. With that being said....it was fairly easy. I checked all my parts in the directions first to make sure all was there. They were....then followed step by step. Well made, sturdy, and would buy it again in a heartbeat. Can't go wrong. ♥️
