This is our second trampoline (first one was a different brand) so assembling it was much faster this time around. The spring tool that came with it made the job much faster. We are very disappointed with the basketball hoop positioning. The goal itself is better than most however the fact that the goal sits above the netting creates issues for our son. He shoots the ball and unless it goes in, the ball bounces outside the trampoline so we are shagging the ball constantly. It would be very nice if there were something that fastened to the goal that extended the net higher than the goal OR the goal sat lower on the pole within the netting. The trampoline itself will be fine however for our 8 year old who only ever wants to play basketball...its not a perfect fit.
Poor goal placement
