Review on Jump2It Portable Trampoline Adjustable Protective by Jacob Kuntz

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Assembly is a pain. But the kids love it.

Five stars for children's entertainment; One star for easy assembly. I do montages in my family. It's a job I like. What I love most about IKEA is that I assemble furniture. I built the bunk bed myself. I think I've earned my conscientious meeting. THIS TRAMPOLINE WAS A CONSTRUCTION NIGHTMARE. Counting way: 1. It comes folded into three parts, and you need to unfold it to put it in place. But if 2/3 of the trampoline is flat and you try to flatten the remaining 1/3, all the stress can cause the opposite 1/3 that you've already flattened to crack again (more like a SNAPCRASHKILL) and collapse . into your hand, causing your hand to be scratched and bleeding. Let me warn you about that.2. If you don't use a crossbar, assembling the trampoline becomes easy and effortless. But our rod didn't match well with the threads the legs were supposed to screw into. It was not possible to thread the legs that connect to the harness as instructed in the instructions. I improvised and screwed the legs to the bottom of the trampoline and then placed the poles on the bottom of the legs.3. Proper seating of the bar was also an issue due to the offset. One of the pieces of plastic ended up flying around the room and then it was incredibly difficult to put it back in place. The problem here (and with 2) is that all the parts are welded together and it's difficult to move the welded metal. In total, the construction of the trampoline took more than an hour. Probably 90 minutes, with all the extra work that's needed. To be fair, I spent some of that time stretching a stubborn spring that had come loose during shipping and which I didn't reattach before straightening the trampoline. Don't repeat my mistake; First fix the springs. I didn't deduct a star for that; The effort with the build as a whole was enough to earn a star for the build. Actual use of the trampoline so far has been excellent. Five stars. The kids love it. I questioned the usefulness of the bar other than to keep two kids from fighting for space, but they enjoyed swinging on the bar and using it as a support for various games. In terms of cost and assembly, it would be better if they played every day for a year.
