I read the dimensions, but it didn’t really register how big (mostly tall) it really is until I inflated it. It’s perfect because most of them are too short for adults to sit there while the kids play, but this one is much taller to the water level is more comfortable for an adult. The plastic does feel a little thin, but for this price, it is about what you’d expect from any of them. It takes about 5 minutes to inflate with a handheld electric pump, and it has 3 separate chambers that have a big plug and are able to deflate in seconds. One of the best things I noticed was that it has 2 drain plugs at the bottom. Most pools I’ve seen have none or 1, so with 2, you can empty it way faster, and you can also get the last bits out easily. With proper care, I think it’ll last the whole summer and the kids will have a blast playing in there.
