I was relieved that all of the boxes arrived at the same time and with all the parts after reading some other reviews. All the parts were well-packed. The assembly instructions were clearly written, easy to follow, and also funny! I (54 and 120 lbs) put the trampoline together myself with only occasional help holding something from my 10 year old. I screwed up a couple times putting the springs on, but only because I didnt read thoroughly. It was an easy fix. It probably took me 4 hours using an impact driver and socket wrench. Im sure two people with those tools could get it done in less than 2 hours.
My kids and I are loving the trampoline! There is a big difference in the rectangular vs a round trampoline. Im glad I spent the extra money. The bounce is way better. There is no dead spot in the middle like with a round trampoline. And the extra length of the rectangular allows for bigger flips. I think something about the rectangular shape makes it look better in the yard too -less of an eyesore for some reason.
Go for the rectangular shape!
