I first read a number of reviews of this play tent (and many others like it) and it looks like would they all have many happy customers and a few people who are mostly dissatisfied with the overall quality/reliability. Catching the fun before it breaks is worth the experience and cheaper than, say, a trip to the local jungle gym or trampoline/trampoline jumping area. At the same time, it is amazingly durable! My kids have been jumping, crawling and totally abused with this play tent and I just don't understand where the negative reviews are coming from. Perhaps the seller/manufacturer has improved the quality since then. As it was: The package arrived and it was a complete surprise for my children. No apology or reason, except maybe the fact that her mother spends too much time looking at Revain's offers. Taking the thin round pouch out of the box, I breathed a sigh of relief realizing it wouldn't be responsible for putting an important gadget or necessary items in place - when folded it's a lot thinner and smaller than you might be think. I have very little closet space and I actually keep it on a hanger in the closet now - it's no thicker than a kid's spring jacket hanging next to it. And when I opened the package and started packing the tent, my three year old was literally jumping up and down with excitement and cackling with delight. His whole being physically trembled with unbridled joy, which gave him a huge, as his life, a colorful monster that you can climb. I don't think I've ever seen him so excited. And all my doubts dissipated - God! If I could give everyone this pure bliss that easily for $33, I would start a national organization with this play tent mentioned in the mission statement. First I lined up the three pieces individually and then that was all I could do to keep the kids from running over them before I could put them together. (By the way, it was very easy. No teacher needed.) And then I let her go. They spent almost three hours doing EVERYTHING in this play tent. They've crawled through it a million times. They sat on opposite ends and rolled the ball towards each other through the tunnel. They played hide and seek and chased each other. They brought books and read a little inside. They brought game fodder to the troops and set up a kitchen. They took the sheets off their beds and made camp. I think any activity inside the tent is way more fun than outside. I'm starting to question traditional notions of homeliness and space. Maybe we just need a small colorful folding tent to share with to make us happy? Anyway, this is a real hit. I ordered a separate pack of 200 balls for second level arousal, but actually - no need. This tent is very interesting for children and stimulates their imagination - after they have finished all physical activities like crawling/climbing etc and fold it up as packed (and as stated above) - nice how little space it takes up. Actually disassembling/twisting the 3 pieces back into shape requires some manoeuvring, but once I get the hang of it it's not that difficult. Overall, based on my kids' reactions, this is probably my best purchase on Amazon. .
