UPDATE: After 18 Months, I can strongly attest to the durability and reliability of this trampoline. I've used it continuously for running, bounding, and exercise 3X a week, for 60-90 minutes per session. It still looks and feels like new, and the performance is great for my aerobic exercise. In addition, it helps keep my joints from taking on more stress. I still give it 5 Stars, and I highly recommend this product for heavy users.I purchased the Newman trampoline after my previous trampoline, See full review
