The quality of the pool is really good! The people saying it didn鈥檛 last probably didn鈥檛 handle carefully when deflating, since it does take some patience to deflate all 3 rings of the pool. It鈥檚 a 3 person job. Pool its self is a great size. Can easily fit 3 adults sitting cross legged or 2 if you wanna stretch your legs. You will DEFINITELY need an air compressor to fill these. Dont use anything small & cheap. Youll be sitting around for an hour with a half inflated pool lol just keep it clean and deflate CAREFULLY. And you should get a few good uses out of it. At the end of the day, it鈥檚 an inflatable pool and it鈥檚 not meant to last forever. You get what you pay for. ITS SO MUCH FUN!!!!
