In less than a year this thing has paid for itself many times over. Super durable. The fact that it’s still in perfect condition after multiple birthday parties, and with three boys who intentionally try to destroy it on a routine basis, is amazing. It’s performed perfectly in temps from 20 to 110. I’m sure we broke all the rules when we parked it under our basketball goal, but the boys love it. And in the summer heat we hit it with a sprinkler, again not recommended, but we dry it out completely, inside and out, before storing it. A brilliant purchase for us. My wife’s idea!
