What matters most
The tiers are built to different standards. Classic rounds run about $182 to $799 with a 3-year frame and 1 year on the mat and springs, which is fine for a few years of younger-kid use. Premium models, like the 17x10 Rectangle at about $1,599 and the 15ft Square at about $2,400, step up to a 10-year frame, 10 years on springs, and 2 years on the mat and pads, plus much higher weight limits. So the Premium costs several times more but is built to last and handle heavier, longer use. The right tier depends on how long you expect to keep it and who will use it.
