This thing is like a trampoline on steroids! Very nice and way stronger than our last one. Assembly was pretty simple, just very time consuming. It took about 2 12 hours for my husband and I to put it together. So far it is worth the money. I mainly got this beacause it is UV protected. Our last one was sun rotted. Buy even if that happens again. The frame alone is worth keeping and just replacing the jump pad.
