Expensive as hell and worth every bit of cash you spend.

Bought this trampoline for my son whom is only 90 pounds, had it for about 3 months and the bands snapped and the springs came off causing him to get hurt. I had noticed that other bands are starting to break also. This product is not safe at all.

I bought this specifically to give my children (age 4 and 2) something approved to jump on. I was sick and tired of chasing them off the beds and sofas. Now they jump A LOT on this trampoline. We haven't actually utitlized the handy space-saving feature of flat storage because the kids use it so much. It's not even winter (which is when I thought it would be most useful).
I do not buy a lot of playthings for my children - we live in a small house and I want them to be creative, but my husband and I are amazed at the worth of this investment! Totally worth it.
Now, I did not personally assemble this thing and I did hear my husband swear when he was doing it, but now it's done. And he did it by himself (not the 3 adults he says the directions recommended), so I'm still giving it 5 stars.

I have had this for a while now along with the Body-Solid® Flat Bench (GFB350).

Take your time putting it together, don't over-tighten the bolts, and it will be solid as a rock.
It is about 6'10" tall.

I cut 2 foam noodles in half, and down their length. They fit over the saber-style spotter bars perfectly and keep the racket of clanging weights to a minimum.

I would also recommend adding olympic rings to the pull-up bar.

This is a sturdy rack, easy to assemble. Service was great from Amazon. All expectations exceeded. No parts missing! My only minor complaint was that if you assmble as directed, you will insert some bolts without washers. Now, MAYBE you don't NEED the "extra" washers, but I have found that washers protect surfaces. Not just for looks, but for integrity of the product, I went and bought 20 additional washers (.20 a piece at the hardware store) and I am certain that this was a smart move, plus the rack just looks more uniform with washers beneath each bolt. All the parts fit --but there was a distressing moment when it appeared the back cross section was NOT GOING TO FIT! YIKES! But I quickly determined that this was part of the structural design because one assembled the "offset" draws the rack into a tight, sturdy unit. This unit allows HEAVIER than normal lifts to be done SAFELY. Want to determine your MAX lift on Bench Press, Squat, or other exercise but have no spotter? This baby will spot you and spot you well! Also, you can do "partials" by setting the safety pins at different positions. Heavier weights means more strength, power and muscle! YEAH!! Great product for beginners or pros. I didn't get the Lat attachment but I will add that soon.

We gave this to our son for his 3rd birthday. He's already enjoyed it, but I think it will come in even more handy this winter when he's stuck inside. His 10 month old sister loves it as well. She climbs up on it and sits and bounces.

This is my third mini-trampoline. I previously owned two trampolines with the springs, but the springs would fall off after awhile. This trampoline appealed to me because it doesn't have springs. As for assembly, my husband and I took less than 30 minutes to put it together. It is not in four pieces, as someone said. It is a one-piece springy mat to jump on that is folded over to conserve space in the box. There are four pieces of metal, each one holding the elastic bands on each quadrant of the trampoline. My husband attached two of the metal bars together easily. Then he lined up the other two and laid down on the trampoline so it would be flat. Then I stood on two corners of the trampoline while he put in the bolts. The plastic siding is not hard to put on. You just put it on as you go, while putting the legs through the holes in the plastic as you go. This part does not take 3 people, as someone said. I like jumping on this. It's not as springy as my past trampolines with springs, but I still feel I get a good workout. I use it 5 days per week for 30 minutes each time. I feel it's a good deal for the money. Hopefully the elastic bands will not break over time.

We orderes the trampoline for my granddaughter birthday and the instructions and parts to put it together were missing. Cammed the company and asked them for the missing parts and they will not send them. They want us to send the trampoline back to them. Hell I already paid for it once. They should of checked the box for all the parts before they sent it in the fiset place

This is a great squat rack. It is relatively light weight, but I have never had any worries about the rack's ability to hold the barbell. The packing of the rack is exceptional, and it is very easy to assemble!
