My daughter does all star cheer and she loves to practice her tumbling on this!  Because of the oval shape you have more space to tumble.  She is on this every day unless it is to hot!  We have had it for almost 6 months and it is holding up well.  I can see that you will need to replace the pads around the net and possibly the net itself about once a year or every 18 months.  The net stretches out and our humid weather is hard on the pads.  Everything else is very well made and will last a long time.  Assembly does require about 2-3 strong people and patience!!  Have fun with it!
