I just set up this bouncer for the first time and it was very easy. The kids loved it and I am so happy I didn't buy a regular bouncer as the obstacle course kept them occupied for hours. I have noticed with regular bouncers the kids lose interest after 5-10 minutes. Not with the obstacle course - I think the kids played for at least 1.5 hours before finally taking a little break. It wasn't that difficult to put away (it helped to have an extra set of hands). The product is well made and I couldn't be happier. I also feel lucky as I bought this 2 weeks ago from Amazon and paid $299, wow, the price has gone up. Well, worth it.
