I bought this bouncing castle for my son’s 3 years old birthday party. I thought that instead of spending much more money to celebrate it somewhere for a couple of hours this would have been more fun and better investment. I did chose this in particular because of the perfect size, big enough to have few kids running everywhere inside, but still not too big and so easy to put away. Then I chose it for the particular castle shape that I knew would have attracted a lot my son, and also because it didn’t have review talking about leaking. I was surprised of the quality of the material, and also by how simple it is to use. Open - few seconds- attach the pump, the time to get to the plug, inflating it - other few seconds! So easy that since I bought it more than a month ago i’ve Been using it at least 3 times per week, just for my son after coming back from work, or inviting friends and having the kids playing there while we relax. I don’t have a garden but a small backyard with bricks on the floor. I had a leftover big blue plastic cover from our house renovation and I just put the castle on top. When i’m done it will deflate, I quickly fold it and fold on top the blue cover so that it can remain in the backyard protected and ready to be used again. In the winter i’ll Put it away in a box. So with one purchase we had a wonderful party (including popcorn machine too for more fun!) and tons of other easy play dates. It looks very nice and excellent quality, so I highly recommend it!
