SWIMLINE Giant Inflatable Pirate Castle Pool Float For Kids And Adults Size| Floating Kingdom Raft Lounger Combo With Gate Shield Windows & Accessories For Pools Lakes Beach | Fits Up To 4 People

Very nice and popular with the kids. Takes quite a while to inflate completely as it is huge, material y quite thick and durable. Kids have found many ways to play with it ay the pool.

I don't write reviews because everyone's experience and and likes are different. But I feel buyers should be warned given the price of this float. I am on my third one in a week. The first I bought from a pool store, the second from amazon and the third is on its way as amazon is replacing it at no cost. At first I figured I bought a defective float or the kids were to rough with it as it ripped at the seem between the back and the raft. My daughter loved it so much I found it for $10 less on amazon. It came Wednesday. She used it yesterday for an hour or two and it was fine. I went to pull it out of the pool and it tore at the same seem as the first one just from pulling it out of the pool.If your child is ok with either just looking at the float or simply laying on it and don't move then five stars. Unfortunately my eight yr old would get bored real quick with a pirate ship you can't play with. It's unfortunate as she had a lot of fun pretending. I actually cut up the first raft to salvage some of the $60 and turned it into a raft with a mast.The plus side is its made thicker than other floats so no sorry puncturing it but useless if it tares at the seems. Thankfully amazon is doing the right thing and I'm sure the third will tare just as quickly. Just hard to say no to an eight yr old.

We've only had it for a couple days so far, but the kids have absolutely loved it . . . and so has their dad . It took a while to blow up all 6 sides, each with it's own compartment, but there were no apparent holes or leaks. our 7 and 8 year old kids tumbled and wrestled in it for hours, both fitting comfortably inside. My kids like to rough house in it, so it does tumble a little from side to side, which makes it more fun. However, it is more stable than a typical raft if they just decide to lie in it. It seems pretty durable, but I'm only expecting it to stand up for one season, and, if it does, I will be satisfied that it is worth it's value. We have having several kids over next week, and I think close supervision will be in store and probably limiting it to two or three kids playing in it at a time to avoid any injuries from playing rough or from tumbling into the side of the pool. Also, for what it's worth, as an adult, I can dive off the diving board into the top hole and out the bottom, rubbing only lightly against the sides of the openings. Alternatively, I can dive through the side hole and land in the middle. Definitely a fun one that might become a repeat purchase.

My experience is like most. This thing is huge and takes a lot of time to fill up if you don't have a decent pump. After month of use, one side developed a leak and that 1 side deflates quickly. The kids love the cube and they even like the deflated side as that they can put that end down and sit in the cube while staying in the water. Well worth the money despite the leakupdate: After 3 months of use, another side has leaked out and the cube is useless. To be fair, my kids are probably just too rough with it. all in all, it still seemed to be worth it...If the price is right, I will get another next year.

We've only had this about a week so far, but it's been played with every day of that week and very hard. Two 7 year-olds play in it every day, jumping on it, wrestling in it, etc. We had one bbq with about 7 big teenaged boys playing extremely rough with it. They squeezed at least three of them inside, while others tumbled it and jumped on top of it. They did this for about 2 hours. I actually expected there to be a leak somewhere by the time they were done, but it held up. Last night the adults were doing the same, though not quite as rough. Lots of fun for everyone, and very durable.UPDATE: We had this for a few years of very rough summer time fun and it held up. After the 3rd year, or maybe during, a couple sections got leaks on the seams. I blame this on the very large teenagers who were playing extremely rough with it. When I did was cut the cube into many squares and the remaining four sections ended up being great, and unique, floaties. I'm getting on here again now to buy another, easily the best pool toy we've had.

Gave it 2 star rating because of safety concerns. Great for kids 8 and higher and proficient swimmers. The kids love it and it appears durable, we have not had damage or ripped seams as reported in other reviews; however, we don't allow them to 'jump' on it (i could see this being a cause of bursting).CAUTION - We only use this when only a few children are in the pool and ALWAYS have an adult monitoring its use. We see a potential hazard because of the holes on all sides, the kids love to (and easily) roll/flip it and often end up having to swim out of the hole bc they end up face down. Someone could easily get stuck and no one realize it (bc as kids they are too caught up in the fun and laughing and trying to get in). This 'raft' is HEAVY and as it flips a small child (outside of the cube but next to it) could get pushed under the corner seams.We take POOL SAFETY and Drowning very seriously in our family. For this matter, once the cube gets ruined, we will not be ordering another one.

The quality of these rafts were never good, but now they are terrible. After having bought a few, I’ve given up. They lose air before even throwing them in the pool. Cheap product from you know where.
