I bought this tent to give my granddaughter for her 1st birthday. First, it was very easy to open right out of the box; it's nice and light, easy to manoeuvre. The tent seems strong enough and should last a few years; While it's kept indoors, I like the mesh sides so you can see what's inside while your child plays, and on warm summer days (when placed outside) it'll still be ventilated and not stuffy. But it had no instructions and we had no idea how to close it to put it back in the storage pouch it came in. My husband watched YouTube videos to find out. and it still wasn't the easiest task. Hence the 4 star rating. My 1 year old granddaughter has nothing to worry about. All she has to worry about is having fun and I know she will! I also bought 200 tent balls which was the perfect amount. Click N' Play pack of 200 phthalate-free, BPA-free Pit Balls plastic balls - 6 bright colors in a reusable and durable zippered mesh bag
