Has anyone used La Bassine Birthing Pool? How was it please?

Bit worried about the floors in my flat being able to withstand a birthing pool, but would really like one.
This one looks quite small, but is it sturdy? I am very clumsy at best of times and don't want to flood downstairs!!

I have just got out of mine

I have not used it in labour yet, but we had a test fill last week and it is so relaxing my wonderful DH (he has earned many brownie points) got it out again this weekend.

It isn't that small, it holds me and DH together OR me and 21 month old DD and loads of plastic bath toys.

La Bassine (Made in water) website says the following here

"How heavy is the birthing pool when filled with water?

Our pool holds about 450L (110 gallons) of water at 80% full which weight around 450kg (1000 pounds). This is about the same as 6 to 9 people standing together."
