I was bored and trolling Amazon and saw this...it looked like fun so I ordered it. I read the assembly directions, which said you need 3 people, but a woman said in her review that she assembled her trampoline alone...props to her cause I tried and nothing...absolutely no movement whatsoever. I took it to work and 3 guys assembled it very easily, but used their combined strength to make the pieces go together and open. The smell is obnoxious, which I hope will dissipate over time. All in all a fun purchase.
