We needed a tent that my 4 and 6 year olds could actually sleep in and this tent seemed to be one of the few that were both large were enough and affordable. We used it several times and it was great! Comfortable for both children and their choice of sleeping bags, blankets, pillows and toys. My husband once slept between them and said they're not perfect but they fit. Very easy to assemble, just 2 flexible rods. The material is strong, the zippers work well, no problems. The ground is a type of thin canvas material and comes with outdoor stakes. However, ours are only used indoors and I have little to no camping experience so I can't comment on that. The only thing I can mention is that it's bigger than a lot of play tents. That's what we wanted, but if you're looking for something to store or build a toddler ball pit, check out the measurements. This is more than the types of play tents we've had in the past. We are very satisfied so far and can definitely recommend it.
