We researched this product and compared to other items and the best part it is very basic with lots of room to play. We ordered a second one for water play in the summer. We learned a lot from the comments and suggestions others made and it seems that the company took all those complaints and suggestions to heart.We have found no water gets in through the holes when lid is on and there are caps on the top of the legs so no water can get into legs. You obviously listened to your customers, KUDOS to you. Gail Stingo a happy grandparent.
