It arrived with some stitches open, some loose, minute tears.... although I bought it for next summers, but i had to open it to see if theres no major damage. The water actually leaks!!! ( but my kids r very excited n love it. I wonder why the blower has to be open all the time, it would have been better if we could put it off once it inflates, the water was freezing n i wanted it to warm up, but letti g the blower on for hours, without kids  doesnt make any sense.
