 Kids love it mommy does notAug 24, 2010
All the kids who visit love this play dome. However, the feet fall off, the rails for the balls don't stay on well, trying to move it makes if fall apart and the company no longer offers replacement parts. My son's 20lb friend climbed on the top and gave a jump, the leg broke. (I totally don't suggest climbing on it as that is not what it is for, as you know two year olds are quick.) Now it can't be used well. I am thinking of throwing it out but my 3year old LOVES to play with it. Gorilla glue hasn't worked and duct tape keeps getting pulled off. Great fun and great headaches.

Fun, but requires a lot of repeat assemblyJul 29, 2010
I have three children ranging in age from <1 to 6 years, and all of them really enjoy playing in the tent. While it does not seem to bother them, the ball ramps on the left side of the tent are constantly falling off. The balls and keys that came with the tent are well constructed. The balls rattle, so there is something inside them, but there's no way to take them apart, so I don't worry about the baby choking on small pieces. The keys are different shapes that match the ball chutes on the right side, so there is a color and shape matching element.
Overall, it's rather sturdy. One child(about 20 pounds) has climbed on the sides of it multiple times, and even once climbed all the way up and stood on the top . Yikes! I would not recommend allowing children to climb on the tent, but it held up nicely.
It folds up for storing. If the ball ramps would stay on, I'd give it 5 stars.
 Piece of junkJul 09, 2010
From looking at pictures of this playhouse, it looked like a lot of fun. I think it would have been if it would stay together.
The tracks on the side could barely be put together at all, let alone stay together. I had to get grandpa to get some screws, drill holes and fasten them on permanently.
The feet would not stay on the legs, and the top arches would not stay attached to the roof or to the legs. Very soon, the plastic cylinder legs cracked at the top (brittle plastic) so that it could not be put back together. That's when I got out the duct tape. That worked for about two weeks. Now it is just headed for the garbage can.
Complete waste of money. Find another kids tent product to buy.

 Instant hit with my Toddler!Jun 17, 2010
I love this playhouse! As soon as I had it together and the balls slid down the tracks it was an instant hit with my 19 month old. He could not get enough of it. Calls it his house. Loved the keys, although he can't quite work them in the locks. The shaker balls he loves as well. I would have given it 5 stars, but the tracks were not easy to install and they don't stay put. I am constantly putting them back on so the balls can go through. Other than that it was easy to put together and easy to store as well. I also bought one for a first birthday present I liked it so much.
