Overall this is exactly what I expected it to be. I anchored it about 15ft offshore in a lake, with two cement blocks, and it stayed in place for two weeks, despite several thunderstorms. I didn’t need to reinflate it at all. Inflating it didn’t take any longer than inflating my paddle board- maybe 15 mins? There were a few cosmetic scuffs when I received it, and there are a few more now, but all the functional aspects seem solid. I would note that for younger kids or older folks, a rope style ladder (I just got one from Amazon), easily attached to the d-rings and made it much easier to get on the floating raft. Looking forward to using it again next year!
