This is a great PLAYHOUSE for my kids............... what more could one ask for in a playhouse.......... it's ***inexpensive***, high(er) quality, PORTABLE, and has PRACTICAL (useful) VALUE as well (what it's intended for when/if the need arises) and it can DOUBLE as a tent if necessary = PERFECT SOLUTION in more ways than one (in contrast to a LARGE HEAVY WOODEN STRUCTURE playhouse in the backyard that costs hundreds of dollars and has nowhere near the same PRACTICAL overall value).....................having 2 SIDES that unzip completely makes it a much better playhouse because it won't get as hot on the inside and living in the desert that can make a big difference (air flow especially). We had it set up on the patio, now that it's summer (and over 100* everyday) we've moved it into the formal living room *LOL* and it adds a RUGGED outdoor 'feel' to the house, especially when visitors come to the door and it's the first thing they see when the come inside. Not to mention, today, it houses the cage for our 3 family guinea pigs, Spot, Tiny, and Leo (as in Leonardo, one of the Ninja Turtles) :) Being an outdoorsman myself (an athlete and one who has done extensive camping/outdoors activity over the years) can say that ESPECIALLY for ACTIVE OUTDOORSY type families (like ours).......... this is a NECESSARY purchase w/ several applicable OPTIONS/POTENTIAL USES, and can't beat the fact that the KIDS LOVE IT!............ and it goes well w/ HIGH END, formal, living room furniture/accessories! It's very easy to assemble, even my kids (all 3 under 8 years old) could put it together and take it down, by themselves. Keep thinking it might end up getting ripped (zippers etc), but that hasn't happened yet, and it even sat on our second story patio, WIND BLOWN, for the months since we purchased this until just a few weeks ago. It's been set up everyday for months now. I'm nearly CERTAIN when the NEED ARISES to use it as it's intended........ at the beach or as a sun shade......................... that this REVIEW will get EVEN BETTER.............. happy customer(s) here ;-)
