Skywalker Trampoline 10Ft Round Trampoline

I bought this for my son's 7th birthday in June of 2013, so we haven't had it quite 2 years at this point. It arrived missing a couple of pole caps which Skywalker replaced. It seems missing parts are common. I can't attest to how easy it was to put together. I had a couple of male friends assemble it and it took them a couple of hours. For the first 6 months, it was great! My son loved it and jumped almost every day. The first winter (we live in the Dallas, TX area) we had some ice and one of the poles bent in. Not a huge issue but I couldn't bend it back and now the net sags in one one side. After the first year, the blue mat started fraying and quickly completely tore apart and the black inner foam has pretty much all come out. So I would have to say this is a 2-year product before it starts looking like crap. If it were just the mat, I would live with it but the pole that causes the net to sag has become a hazard. My son was just jumping and as he was coming down from a jump his arm caught on the top of the net and he nearly broke his arm. With all that being said, I am about to purchase a new one, the 15' this time. The price has come down since we got this one and it's not much more than the 10'. I still think this is a decent (not outstanding) product for the price. Just be prepared that it won't last beyond a couple of years. I don't feel we were abusive in any way and the weather where we live only has a few days of ice or snow a year. I can't imagine living up north and having the weight of snow all winter long on the net and thus bending the poles. Hopefully we will get a couple of more years out of the new one. Deducting one star for the poor quality of the blue mat and missing parts (since this seems to be a major problem for them) and another star for the pole that bent.
