This product is as advertised. It's sturdy and thick so should hold up pretty well from what I can see. The handles and rings for the ropes are solid. We added a ladder that clips onto the handles to make it easier to get up onto out of the water. The electric pump it comes with is very strong and it blows up the raft in 2 minutes as advertised. I will say the bag it comes with to store it in is pretty lightweight and the zipper is not going to last. This weighs 50 pounds so a little surprised. The one other unavoidable issue is that when you deflate it, it will be hard to get back in the bag if you are out on a boat like we are. You pretty much need to lay it out on a flat surface and kneel and roll it up to get the air out and fit it back into the bag.Overall its very good!!
