Bought for my grandson. He just turned 2 years old. They live in several states and came here for his birthday. It was shipped and arrived quickly. It comes in its own pouch, which is small and flat. This tent is best set up by two people, but one person can handle it. That's not difficult. The poles are examined and the tent looks good. We installed it for the weekend and several toddlers played in it and my grandson even slept in it one night. At the end of their visit they pack it up and it doesn't take up much space in your suitcase. He plays at home. So now I'm thinking about buying an anchor tunnel for his tent. I think the tent cost a little more than others I've seen, but it was worth it.
