Lisa P: I was hesitant to order this for my son based on some of the reviews about the terrible instructions, but then I realized that those were all much older reviews. Lifetime must have been listening, because the new instructions are EXCELLENT!! There is a great parts list that breaks everything down by what step the parts are required for. And then the instructions themselves are step by step with pictures of what parts are required and how to put them together. It probably took us 4 hours total to put this together, and definitely requires 2 adults (or one adult and teenage son!). The system itself is very sturdy after assembly. We put water in the base, which for us seems like plenty of weight, and is easily moved by 2 of us. Height adjustment is also very easy, and my 12 year old son had no trouble going back and forth between heights.
My ONLY complaint with this product is the flimsy packaging. Although, it did not affect my rating of the product! The box that Lifetime (not amazon) uses for the system is very thin for the weight of the product. There is also very little styrofome to separate the pieces so that they are allowed to roll around freely in the box. So much so...
