This trampoline met all of our expectations and then some.  Our nine and eleven year-old grandchildren love it; they play on it more than the swings, bikes, and even their four-wheelers (ATVs).  It's very safe with the net enclosure and zippered entrance.  Even our 38 year-old son enjoys it!  It is holding up well with the use, Summer sun, and wet weather during the other three seasons here in Washington state.  It's very sturdy and heavy so it needs to be assembled where you plan to keep it.  My husband and adult son assembled it and it took some effort and strength, especially with the springs.
