Bought this to assist with bathing our new baby. I was looking for something that was secure, sturdy, and meant we could focus on bathing bub as opposed to holding him out of the water. Overall the bath is solid, well-built and has good reviews. It also provides new bubs with support. The temperature sensor is a wonderful bonus combined with the scales feature. In terms of affordability, I think there is better value out there, however, this was the best we could find with consistently stronger reviews. Yes, there are one or two reviews about scales not working or the rubber feet coming off, but In my view those are not product wide defects, but rather individual product issues. I would suggest they can be easily replaced. Would be 5 starts if the stand was included at this price point.
