After about 10 days of use, it punctured in one spot, a very small hole but it's enough for the pool to deflate within a few hours. When we want to swim, of course, I inflate it with the air compressor and it holds up comfortably for a few hours. Now, I don't know where this hole came from; if you have cats, be careful. I would also suggest trimming their nails before you go in, because you might accidentally puncture it if you press it with your nails on the white part that inflates (especially the kids). It's not the most durable pool... also, draining it is difficult and annoying, especially if you don't have a filter. It needs to be drained very often; I change the water every 2 days. Get a pool with a filter, a net, and the like to make your life easier. That's my opinion...
