We got this for my daughters first birthday and she played with it immediately!  She loved splashing in the water and pouring the water in and out of the cup for a few hours at a time!  The product is very well made and great quality. The umbrella works although we have shade so we didn’t use it very much. You will need to purchase some additional things to play with in the water, it could come with a little more but overall good product. We haven’t used it inside. I purchased some beans but it is just so large I didn’t purchase enough!
