We bought the great white slide for our sons 3rd birthday. He's used it at least weekly since. In the cold months he uses it without water as just a slide. I can't believe how much he loves it. We had some wear after all that use over a year (far more than average wear I'm sure) and blast zone took care of us and we got the replacement part we needed with the 2 year guarantee! Can't say enough great things. I highly recommend this company to all my friends with children! Hours and hours of outside play time with zero complaints. If you are considering it, just buy one from blast zone. The customer care is top notch and the product is priceless!
