I bought this toy for my 2 boys, 4 and 2, and they loved it. I even bought balls to make a ball pit. The toy is huge which I know everyone said, but you can't really get an idea of it's size until you see it. One bag of balls was definitely not close to being enough, however, before I could even buy more, it got a hole in the middle of the bottom. That was only about two days after putting it up. After that every couple of days a ring would get a hole in it. By the end of about two weeks only one ring was still inflated. I thought about going to get a pool patch kit, but I realized that if I patched one hole another would come somewhere else.Bottom line, if you have the time and patience to look for and patch holes or if you go into it not expecting to have it for long go for it. The kids love it. Maybe your kids won't be as hard on it. My girls had one when they were little and it was fine.
