Purchased in 2016 and this is the third summer that weve used it. We use it almost every weekend during the summer for our grandchildren who are 4, 5 and 6 years old. The largest is 54 lbs. It has held up beautifully! Set up is a breeze but take down can be a chore. It is worth it. After use we stand on the edge until the wading part is empty then turn off the blower and my husband and I carry it to the front yard and start the blower again after placing it on the concrete driveway. Dries super fast, about an hour. Then we deflate, roll it up and put it in its bag for storage. Important to check the climbing holes and handles before storing because any dampness will cause mildew. Did that once and was able to clean it but were very careful now. Sometimes we just move it to a dry spot in the yard but it dries faster on the concrete. The wind will blow it when drying if its not anchored. If time is short we tilt it on its side to dry the bottom faster.
The kids love it and its very well made
