This slide was Awesome when we purchased this less than a year ago. This year, it doesn't hold air or the weight of my little ones. It is sad as we had planned an outdoor party with their 7 yr old friends and now we have no slide. This product was purchased after researching others for their durability. Little Tikes is supposed to be a good quality manufacturer- Not so with this item AT ALL. This was not a cheap purchase either as we paid close to $300 for it last summer and can't use it this summer. Please, I advise not purchasing this for your kids unless you do not mind throwing away your money. This is NOT a durable item for your family. This will not hold up.
