I've read some not so good reviews on this waterslide and wanted to throw in my opinion. We are looking to buy our second one of the same kind - we LOVED the first one! Had it for 4 years and finally after 4 summers of my 3 kids and countless friends enjoying it the slide finally got a tear in the seam. We are in Arizona and even though we practically live in the pool in the summer, the kids asked for the slide many times a week and with our intense heat beating down on it for hours on end it held up very well! Great product! Would highly recommend!
