This is a great sturdy pool, I have a 9 year old child and 12 week old puppy who have both been in, the sides are so good at staying up when full that the pup got stuck half in, half out without it collapsing! The valve is brilliant for emptying, the filling attachment works well too but I just stick the hose in. I bought the largest size which is perfect for them both to play in, and I'd be surprised if it the sides or floor got broken with proper use. It's folds up like a concertina for easy storage when not in use, and isn't that big when folded properly. Would highly recommend
