The toddler this was bought for played with this non-stop, in and out of the bath. Just the summer for constant waterplay and this item seemed very robust. It was carefully packed and delivered quickly. Will no doubt give years of good service.This product is made of very thin light plastic, although it is not cheap!It is awkward for a child to reach up to pour sand in the top without knocking the whole thing over as it has no stability. You cannot use it as a water wheel because it falls over as soon as you try to stand it in a bath or paddling pool. Very bad design all roundBought this for the sandpit but the sand doesn't really flow through very well. It's still living in there, but we didn't really use it that much. Might be better in the bath.Nice toy can use with water or dry sand.Nice
