I was looking for a way to stay active during the work from home / shelter in place quarantine, and this rebounder is perfect! I dropped a point on assembly, because like a few other posters mentioned, the holes do not line up exactly, so it makes screwing in the knobs difficult. It helps if you first assemble the cross bar (the top part with the black padding) into position and screw in the triangle shaped knobs. Then, put this assembled piece into the two poles that should already be attached to the rebounder. You might need an extra pair of hands for this part, however, I was able to do it by myself. This does take up a little bit of floor space, especially if you are using it in a smaller place like an apartment. When Im finished using mine, I just push it out of the way against the wall, and that lets me reclaim my floor space. This rebounder is cry fun to use, and you can do a variety of exercises. Just do an online search and you will find some workout videos to give you some ideas. Or, just make up your own moves! For example, I sit on the edge and use the cross bar to do some faux pull ups for shoulder and upper back workout. Dont try to do a full pull up, as this might bend the handlebar, youre just dong enough of a lift to feel it in your arms. Its also pretty quiet! If you are jumping too close to the edge near the springs, you might hear a little bit of a squeak from one of the springs. But, even then, its just a mild, non/intrusive light squeak that some oil will fix. If you live in an apartment, you will not disturb your downstairs neighbor, as you are not jumping directly on the floor, but on a raised surface that provides 8/inches of clearance between the rebounder and your floor. And, unless youre using it to pretend that you are part of cirque du soleil, you can use it without disturbing other members of your household. It is very sturdy and well/made with good materials, so you do get what you pay for. I read a post that said that the handlebar was flimsy, but it is not. However, it does have some give to it, but it is very sturdy. Before and during use, make sure to periodically check and tighten up the knobs, as with use (especially if you pull on the handlebar a lot), they can loosen up a little bit. No, they dont loosen to the point where one will just fall off, but if youre grabbing and pulling on the bar, they will have some give. Oh, I almost forgot! refunded me the shipping costs because they said that it was delivered late. I ordered it one week, and it was delivered the following week! So, to me this delivery was right on time, but really surprised me with that refund, so that was nice. If you dont like to work out but you know that you need to, or if you are looking for a way to stay active, or just a mindless way to get in a good workout without realizing it (watch your favorite show at the same time!), this is the product for you. I am very happy with this purchase!
