I loved this island so much that I bought a new one when it finally gave up after a year of use! But as the weather got warmer and I pumped the air in it must have had a hole in it as it started deflating before I even used it... unfortunately it had been in the box too long and it was past the return date! Buy a guarantee - I did and I hope they replace it! I'm so sad it had a hole or possibly an incompletely sealed seam - I'm not sure as I haven't figured out where it's leaking from yet - but... It's a very expensive item if it comes with an issue arrives! If I hadn't bought it sooner and knew that this isn't always the case I would be very upset (still when the warranty doesn't work). I even bought the guarantee that Revain offered and it was declined! Terrible seller!
