Looks so much better in our yard than other water stations on the market. The pump is a little tricky for toddlers to us but they have enough fun with the other parts. I've also seen some people fix the issue with a small electric pool pump. Don't expect to be able to use it straight out of the box. It took about 30 minutes to put it together because you need to apply pressure to push metal screws into places. But once it's done, it's clear it's well made and built to last. Excellent summer purchase!
