I was hesitant to buy this as I am overweight and the reviews said it was hard to put together. It has handled my weight perfectly! My kiddo and I jump on it together sometimes. Putting it together was easy as long as you do it in the recommended manner. It does require A LOT of strength to pull the bands around and hook them in. My shoulders were completely dead the next day. I could barely raise my arms up to brush my hair. If I were to do this again I would probably do 1/3 the bands on day 1, more on day 2, and the rest on day 3. Maybe spread it out more if you do not have massive arm strength. It is well worth the money!!

I love the trampoline goodbye with the price, however, with a little difficult to put together the bungees are very hard to pull.

I just got my Darchen mini-trampoline today! It came two days early, which I was excited about. For the most part it was pretty easy to put together, I used my hands to put the cords on until I got to the last eight or so. I had help getting them on using the tool. The legs were challenging, but we added some hair clipper oil, then it was easy from there. I haven't had a chance to actually use it yet, but I did try it out. I'm not confident enough to jump yet, but I can handle just bouncing for now. It feels sturdy and does not rock or tilt when getting off and on or during bouncing. I weigh about 260 lbs. and feel that this will last a while. I also received an email from the seller about the one year warranty and how to contact them if I have any problems.

Updated review*: The seller contacted me from this review to provide the missing bungee, as well as extras. It’s working even better now and I don’t have concerns of the other bungees snapping while I’m jumping. Very sturdy now.Just got this and it seems great overall, but the box did not have enough of the bungees, so I’m worried about stability. There’s one short and it looks like the rest are stretching which would decrease the longevity. It seems wasteful to send back for one part. Would give it more stars if it had all the parts.

I love it! It’s easy to assemble, the only thing g is it takes a lot of strength to put the bungee cords. It’s better to have 2 or 3 people so it to save time. But when it’s done, it’s great! I bought it last week and have been jumping on it the last few days. You get a great workout and can have fun at the same time! :)

it works great! it's super sturdy, it is very very very stiff, which is what i wanted. it was soooo hard to put all the elastics on. some of them are just slightly smaller than others so it takes way way way more effort to get some of them on the hooks. the tool it came with helped with some, but not with others.also the threading on one of the legs was really bad. i couldn't get it on and my boyfriend had to use some crazy gloves to get a grip on it. they come off really easy though when i had to move, even the wonky one. unsure if it will go back on though, haven't tried it yet. i hope it does though because this rebounder was actually really nice. i don't want to have to buy another one. (money)

The setup requires patience, I wore thin garden gloves after a blister was starting. It wasn't easy, but once done I could see what a sturdy trampoline this is. I've only had it a week but I'm truly enjoying it! Great workout and easy on my joints, doesn't take as much room as my treadmill and I'm getting more exercise. Only problem is my big husky likes to lay on it, he thinks it's for him. It's a strong mat and his claws haven't hurt it one bit though.

If your a larger bodied person or just have bad knees and you want to keep up with heart and lung health than this is what you need!

So upon reading of the reviews I was terrified when my box arrived, very quickly well package that I wouldn’t be able to put it together. I looked at the directions and just a little perspective I’m 57 years old and it took me about 36 minutes to completely put together from beginning to finish. I used the tool that was supplied, and it took a little muscle but nothing outstanding and as long as you follow the directions and it’s easy Peezy. So I believe if you follow the directions and use the tool you will not have any issues. I’ve only had it for a day it seems a lot better then a coil rebounder or a strap rebounder, it has a lot of bounce and does not hurt my joints. My suggestion is follow the directions. My other suggestion is that I wish it came with a couple extra straps because I can see that with use a bungee can break but that is normal. I love it.

The trampoline is so far meeting expectations. It’s stable and feels sturdy. I can see why some reviews discuss difficulty in assembly. You’ll definitely need some upper body strength when attaching the bungee cords but, they’re designed to allow a person to bounce so that tension is a good thing.My trampoline had a ‘defect’ in that there was one extra bungee attachment sewn on to it. I was shipped the amount of chords for what was supposed to be the normal design. I didn’t like the idea of having one attachment just loose possibly putting unnecessary strain on the ones beside it. I reached out to see about getting an extra. The response was immediate, AND within just a few days the company sent me an entire bag of bungee cords. It was highly appreciated!
