birthing pool recommendations...

I've just been cleared for a home birth, so hoping to get a pool from next week..
I don't want to spend too much money because I had a first birth the first time around, and am not completely convinced I'll be spending much time in the pool..
However, what do people recommend?
I have a 3 year old, so I don't want a pool that is set up and filled in advance due to the risk of drowning.
My living room is quite small 10x11 feet (I think), so the midwife says to bear in mind she'll need space to move around it.. plus I guess I'll need space if I come out to deliver the placenta on dry ground..
Ideally I want one that's easy to fill, put up, and drain.. the inflatable ones look good but a bit small??
any views?

i had a la bassine and it was lovely! laboured in it with ds2 but had him out of the pool then used it again and had ds3 in it.
can't fault it!
