My Barefoot Spa is still working really good after I’ve had it for a few years now, so I would say that it’s pretty durable and made it through some New Jersey winters. I kept pretty good care of it. It doesn’t have any marks or scuffs. It isn’t that cheap, but the experience has been worth the costs. This makes the over all value of the hot tub fairly good I guess. If I used it more often it would be even better. My wife and daughter use it more than I do, so that helps a lot too for making everyone feel better, and making me not regret buying the thing.
