With pretty much EVERY single camp, program, aftercare situation canceled this summer and going to an amusement park waterpark was NOT in the cards in a mask in 100-degree heat in this life or the next we were desperate for a distraction that my kids would use daily with or without friends.
Enter the greatest backyard toy in the history of my existence! My kids are typical in the sense that they want, they want, they want, and when they get they use whatever it is for 5 minutes and then it goes in the garage to collect dust.
I was reluctant to drop the money at first but with the traditional kid relief distractions of summer firmly OFF the table (see above paragraph) this summer we decided to go for it.
BEST decision EVER!
We couldnt be happier nor could my twin boys and a variety of their friends who have tried it out in the last 3 weeks.
Its VERY solid indeed. I weight 230 pounds and can bounce to my hearts content with nary a worry. Its a blast.
I will tell you that we bought the trampoline as a way for our youngest child to help cope with his overbearing anxiety and hyperactivity. When she is up in her head, we send her out to bounce even if for a couple of minutes while listening to music, it just calms her down enough to get her head back on and calm her down. If she is getting super amped up and nervous and fidgety or whatever state - out she goes to keep her calm.
Our middle child just came down to chit chat with me. He said its the most awesome thing ever. He has up to 3 friends at a time on it and that is about 350 pounds give or take. No problem with the sturdiness.

Please note that we hired a professional gym/backyard equipment professional to build the trampoline. He built in about an hour with no issues whatsoever. I see people complain about the instructions and such so we decided just to get help and skip the build. Also, I am all thumbs and can barely screw in a light bulb much less build something. NO PATIENCE WHATSOEVER. Let alone my kids threatened that if I tried to build the trampoline they wouldnt use it as they would be fearing for the life every time they got on it. Frankly, I dont blame em. So there you have it.
Bottom line:
If this sucka is available BUY NOW.
Worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY BAR NONE!!!
