I hesitated to buy one due to the cost. We have 5 grandkids and we wanted something they could
play on at our lake cottage, besides jumping off the dock. I read reviews for different brands and this brand seemed to have the best reviews. Last weekend we used it for the first time and the grandkids and adults absolutely loved it. Much more fun than a swim platform as they can easily get on and off and they rolled around on it like a batch of puppies. We had 5 kids and 2 adults on it at the same time and it stayed afloat very nicely.Worth the price!!
