I settled on this set after reading various reviews that discussed it as being of high quality and sturdy construction. After installation and 100+ trips down the zipline by the grandkids and their friends, I agree with that assessment and am really happy with the purchase.
I ordered a cable that was 10 ft longer than our run required and was glad I did. It gave me the wiggle room I needed to wrap it around the end tree and then attach the cable to a nearby tree using a 2 inch tie-down strap as a come-along tool of sorts. Installation was made easier with two adults. We were able to create a loop at the end of the cable using one of the supplied cable clamps. With the loop attached to the come-along tool, we pulled the cable snug and then used the two other cable clamps to hold it in place. Then we detached the tie down device, removed the cable clamp releasing the loop we made, and installed the clamp between the other two so that all three were installed per the instructions. Once the cable was secure, the supplied turnbuckle tensioner worked great to tune the cable to our desired tension.
The trolly is well built. The seat base and rope are a tad flimsy but adequate. After several runs, the kids complained that the skinny rope was hurting their groin so we added a cushion of sorts (an 8 inch piece of a foam swim noodle) and that solved the issue. Also, the cable is only 3/16 inch diameter so it's a tad more stretchy than a thicker cable would be. It's great for kids (8 - 12 year olds in my family) but an adult or older youth would probably have their feet dragging the ground when in the middle of the run.
When I purchased this unit, I was content with the price. When I went to my shopping cart to check out, there was a $50 discount coupon that made the purchase a no-brainer.

**Updated**: Defective turnbuckle and (not so) empty promises.
**Update!** After writing the one star rating below the company quickly got ahold of me regarding the promised replacement pieces, which I then recieved in less than a week. Apparently they had been out of the office and my second email about shipping ETA and tracking number had been overlooked. (Why the parts weren't sent after the first communication with them is unknown). I will still give the product four stars because the zipline itself is doing what I wanted it to do and the kids love it. I believe we just got the one lemon of a turnbuckle, otherwise it would have been perfect from the start. I would not give it a full 5 stars because of the problems with the communication with the company. Overall though, it was a good buy and one I do not regret. Original rating: We bought the 50 ft zipline which did not come with a seat. It was pretty easy to install with two adults. It had one major safety issue....the turnbuckle seemed to be defective. We had it all set up and tighten and were ready to fly. But any pressure on the line caused the turnbuckle to spin almost completely unsrewing itself. MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN!! We immediately contacted the company via email and happily got a speedy response. They promised to send a new turnbuckle and a seat for our troubles. That was weeks ago and we have recieved nothing. I sent a second email asking about delivery and a tracking number and have had no reply. My guess is they are waiting for the return window to close so they don't lose any money from us returning the zipline. Bottom line is if there is a problem don't expect any real help from the company. Besides the turnbuckle, everything else seems to work fine. We were so excited about the zipline ( and expected a new turnbuckle soon) we did replace the defective turnbuckle with a heavy duty clasp rated for 1900 lbs. (Not taking any chances). It works but you can't get the line as tight as you would with the turnbuckle. But even with the slight slack it works great for the kids. And an old swing worked for the seat. I will update my review if we ever receive the promised new turnbuckle and seat. Just disappointed a company made empty promises.

The zip line hardware is of excellent quality, thick and sturdy steel. The trolley itself is heavy and solid with nice, high quality seeming rubber grips, and the trolley doesn't flip over even if there is no seat attached.
Solid, high quality product. Excellent customer service.
Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2019
The customer service is as good as promised - I sent them an email and they emailed me back by the next morning.
It was "relatively" easy to put up. The assembly is straight forward enough. The hard part is getting the slack out of the cable, which weighs a ton. I did it by myself once, but it was quite a bit of work, loosening one U-bolt, pulling as much cable as I could, re-tightening the U-bolt, maneuvering a ladder around under the middle of the cable to lift it up, etc., to get it as tight as possible by hand, and then tightening down the top turn-buckle nearly all the way.
The second time I did it (we moved from one set of trees to another), I borrowed a ratcheting tool specifically designed to pull up the slack from a friend who also has a zip line. That made it MUCH easier, although its an expensive tool that you basically are going to use once or twice. So I would recommend just trying without the ratcheting tool, but probably two people to get it as tight as possible.
Ours came with a heavy plastic block attached to a thick bungee cord as the brake system. The plastic block has a hole in it through which to thread the zip line and then it slides until the bungee reaches its limit. It seemed pretty solid and worked well, but after about 8 months, the zip line started cutting the hole in the block wider. I contacted customer service, and they emailed back right away and said they'd switched to a steel spring brake system and would send me one right away. Sure enough a few days later it showed up, no fuss.
The zip line is a lot of fun. It was a hit at our daughter's last birthday party and inspired some friends to get one (the friends who have the ratcheting tool). And its pretty good exercise probably - like with sledding, once the kid has ridden down, they have to run back up the hill with the trolley in tow.
Grown-ups have been known to take a turn now and then as well.
I highly recommend this product.
