easy to assemble, comes with a ladder, excellent safety features, which is my main reason for buying this brand. Cheaper trampoline brands have two open-ended pipes sticking up under the trampoline mat, and I read a review with pictures that pointed out that their trampoline leg came apart and the hollow pipe was sticking up under the trampoline mat, which seems like a dangerous situation. This brand uses a T bracket to hold the legs and base together, so there is no open-ended pipe sticking up under the bounce mat, which is one of the main reasons for purchasing this brand.
