I bought this tent as a surprise for my 4 and 2 year old daughters. They accepted it from the moment they saw the box. It is very easy to make, even kids can do it by themselves. Small chopsticks are included to hold the serving tray sideways, but since my girls used to jump out of the window while playing I just never put them in (best to avoid injury or chopstick breakage). I will mention that I can't fold it as small as ours in the box, but it folds perfectly flat and slides easily behind or under things for storage. Overall I am very happy with this purchase and would not recommend it.
