Trampoline body is fine; support/guide bar has very poor fitting tolerances
I have literally worn out two prior mini/trampolines. Neither had an adjustable support bar. Now, in my late 70s, I thought a support bar would be a safety measure, and perhaps a well constructed one might be. With plantar fasciitis, a mini/trampoline affords one an excellent aerobic opportunity, without stressing the plantar fascia. I basically march in place, altering the speed and distance of the lift. Assembling the support bar became a task for three people largely because the bar and fittings had poor tolerances and where they should have been perfectly round, approached oval. Where screw fittings should have easily lined up for attachment, they did not. Again, the trampoline deck and springs, pre/attached, are excellent, but the support bar and handle may be a decent design, but the execution failed miserably. Ill use this trampoline as I used my prior ones, without a support bar. If you absolutely require a support bar, this mini/trampoline is to be avoided. Frankly, what I paid for assembly exceeded the cost of the trampoline or Id have had the assemblers box it up and return it.
Ive now used the trampoline for a couple of days. Had I kept the box, it would be returned. As I did my normal morning routine, 100 marching steps, something didnt feel right. One side of the trampoline appeared to be sagging. I pulled back the cover over the springs and two, side by side were hanging, totally disengaged. Had I stepped near the trampolines edge, I would have stepped through that spot and would likely have been injured. If you purchase this trampoline, check to be absolutely certain that everything is safely connected.
