Really easy set up. Highly recommended buying the seperate pump. I did this as a female with very little help from my husband (he turned the air compressor on in the other room-even though it says to use a hand pump, didn't have issues-go slow. And also helped with a few minor things I could have done myself) you should make sure bottom liner is flat as you fill. And put the black hole water stops in before filling. I filled it up part way then hooked up the pump while water was filling up. The clamps actually fold around the tubes of the pump which confused me looking at them until I watched a YouTube video. Other than that I also purchased the solar cover, heavy duty 10×12 tarp for under it, skimmer, and chlorine tablet float (and tablets). I think all said and done I spent just over $100 on everything for the pool. For what it is this is an awesome product. I put it on a sturdy lower platform that had a hottub on it previously that died because I don't have much flat land. It seems to be working out fine.

This is my third 10 pool from Intex. Where I live the UV hardens them by the end of the summer, so I get a new one each year.
Tips: get chlorine tabs and a floating dispenser, a skimmer, and most important you need a higher volume pump, so the rink dink vacuum works. The filters can be sprayed clean and will last 6 weeks each, or longer. 3 will get you thru the summer just fine. I also have to treat for Ph a couple times because of my location, so a decent pool check kit is also required. If you do less than the preceding, you'll have problems. The pool must be attended to every day, no short cuts.

It's an excellent pool.

This is our 2nd one after about 4 years. The 1st I had with a filter which didn't last long and this is the only reason I gave it a 4. This pool really works well if you use a chlorine tablet float and keep a cover over the pool when not in use (very important). My 2/4/5 year old grandkids have enjoyed it. I have only had to put a few patches on it but that's been very easy and only because my dog has jumped on the sides ðŸ'. Well worth the money on level ground!

Great little pool for its price. Good for one child and one adult to play comfortably in it no filter with it so you don't have to deal with all of that I would strongly recommend it for a wading pool

My 5 and 6 year olds loved this pool. It made for an awesome summer. They spend over 4 hours per day swimming, only taking breaks to eat and warm up. The first week I bought it someone poked a tiny hole in the inflatable part. The part with the hole bubbled up to the size of a grape so it was easy to find where the hole was and I just patched it with the repair kit provided and didn't have any further issues until another hole was poked in it (probably by my dog's nails) about a month later but I couldn't find where the hole was. The pool still holds all of the water even after the inflatable part deflates so we continued to use it. I just continued to inflate it daily whenever I say that it had leaked air. I bought the Hydro Tools by Swimline Floating Mini Tablet Spa Chemical Dispenser to dispense the Kem-Tek 1 inch Chlorinating Tablets. I also bought the Intex Krystal Clear Cartridge Filter Pump for Above Ground Pools, 1000 GPH Pump as someone else recommended which kept my pool crystal clear. Overall I spend I bought the Poolmaster 4 way water testing strips to make sure the pH was where it needed to be and Intex Filters for the filter pump. l spent less than $150 for the pool and the supplies. I don't know anything about pools so I googled and youtubed how to use and set up each of these things as well as how to level the ground for my pool and I ended up with a perfectly finished product that my little ones got to enjoy all summer long.
