I got this trampoline to replace a similar size trampoline. The directions are easy to follow. Took 2 of us about 4 hours to assemble (with breaks and kids “helping”🤦‍♀️). The fiberglass rods for the top of the net were not standardized so the corners could not be put on without adjusting the metal ends with the push buttons to align so we had to take them apart then drill new set screws to put the metal back on. The trampoline has good bounce. But definitely would not accommodate 500lbs as description states. It has a very sturdy frame but the legs are not as sturdy which actually allows the trampoline to move while the kids bounce. It does not come with anchors but they will definitely be needed. I thought I was buying a high end trampoline for a great price. But really I got an okay trampoline for an okay price. I would not buy Upper Bounce again. We got 10+ years with our last trampoline. We will be lucky to get 2-3 out of this one.
