    You get what you pay for - I wouldn't buy a pool based on price only - I see some serious quality issues with what's in the description, liner is very thin, I really don't like those filters and the way they mount, the stairs look pretty flimsy etcetc.

    It is a good price but for what you get I feel overpriced. The pool frame itself is about a five year pool, maybe ten depending on the area. I did not know anybody still sells a 16 mil liner. That would be my first concern. After a season or two you would be replacing it. The filter is the pits, you would probably be upgrading that the first season. It's just to much water for that small of a unit. The last thing is the ladder, OK for kids maybe. That would be on the need to replace list soon.

    I vote no on this one. Anyone else?

    Matt, did not mean to copy you. We were posting at the same time. The same issues were obvious to both of us.

    I vote it is crap. I have seen much nicer set ups for only a fraction more than that, with good warranties as well. Keep shopping....

    I only know what I know from buying a pool recently and I concur that pool is crap. It looks like just a bigger version of the 15' round/48" high ones they use to sell at K-Mart and Wal-Mart. That's another "no" anyway.

    The biggest problem that plagues all of these type pools is the woefully undersized filter. You want to be able to turn the water over at a minimum of twice a day. However, after reading further, it looks that much of the pool is barely acceptable quality, heh!
