Giving it 2 stars because it actually did hold water, but it’s one of those items that gets hype & then falls flat. It ended up with a small crack on first use so it had a very slow leak. After we used the water we tried to follow the instructions to fold it back up & it just really didn’t work the way the instructions said. Because of creases already made in the plastic while it was packaged it didn’t want to collapse in the right places to fold. And once we kind of got it collapsed it doesn’t really stay. The idea is great but the execution just didn’t really work.
