I bought this slide in the summer of 2014, when my now 8 year old was 3 years old. At that time, he was a little timid climbing up it, but eventually got the hang of it and enjoyed it. Since then, I have had another boy and we have really gotten our moneys worth out of this slide! My now 8 year old and 5 year old still love it. It has been through about 5 different birthday parties, and the friends always love it. This year I did decide not to use it for my 8 year old and his friends because I felt a large group of 8 year olds would have been too much for it. That said, it will hold me (a 36 year old 150 lb woman) at the top with my two boys I just thought with that many 8 year olds someone would get hurt. I have used it for all previous birthday parties, and my 5 year old used it with his friends this year. Its held up so well over the years, we have not had any holes. We will usually leave it out for a weekend to play, then let it dry for a few hours, sometimes elevate it a bit with chairs to further dry it, before putting it away in the bag that came with it. We store it in our basement, in the bag.
Bought 5 years ago and still going strong!
