I was going to buy a full sized trampoline for my kids and myself for recreation, about one month ago, but since it was getting cold I opted to buy this 36 inch. I am so very glad I did, it's just the rite size and I can fold it up for easy storage. This little trampoline gives me the ability to use it while folding and washing clothes or just while I am watching TV, I can exercise and get my health on. Very great buy.
