I bought it for my kids because they love dora ... unfortunatly the structure was very badly designed ...first it couldn't stand on its own once the kids got inside it collapsed on them and its fabric is very static , it gave them electric shocks ...
in total it was a very bad toy .

It doesn't stay anywhere near as taut, straight and firm as the picture appears. Merely brushing up against the side starts it collapsing in on itself, requiring parent's help to straighten it all out again. There are no "loops" under the roof as the assembly instructions direct you to for the stabilizer tube (which doesn't stabilize). The "loops" are actually a narrow tube sewed in the TOP of the roof. Folding is nearly impossible. Do an internet search for "toy enthusiast" from Jacksonville, FL for truly easy folding that playhut doesn't come anywhere near to. This toy was a gift, if I had purchased it myself, I'd return it. I understand other (older) Playhut items are good quality. This one isn't.

My husband and I purchased this tent for our 3 year old for Christmas. She loves Dora and Boots and wanted a tent and sleeping bag just like her big brother. This seemed perfect. Just like the others mentioned, it did fall while she was playing in it but she learned quickly how to fix it and set it back up. She would play in it for hours if we let her (that is the reson for the 3 stars for fun) Long story short, the first night that she slepted in it, it colapsed on her while she was sleeping. Her head and face were completly covered. The sleeping bag, we kept. The tent on the other hand, well our daughter's story goes..."Dora and Boots needed it for all of their adventures so mommy and daddy did mail it to her. But, my brother does let me sleep in his tent" (word for word)

My advice let the kids camp out under your dining room table with a Dora sheet over them. Sure bring the Dora sleeping bag along too, but leave that death trap of a tent alone!

This tent I spent I don't have any clue how long trying to put it together and never did get it together correctly or did I? I put it through the top of the tent loops as instructed and then the tent proceeded to fall right on top of me...I cannot believe I wasted money on this..The only difference was ours was the care bears tent which both girls were dying to play with..Mine is being returned for something else tomorrow...Not to count this tent will not fold up...Save your money...Assembling a play kitchen is easier than something like this...Terrible instructions and has way too many openings to put tubes...PIECE OF JUNK IS WHAT THIS IS...Cute but I am not wasting anymore time or aggravation on this item...It will be returned...

Flimsy and cheap - don't waste your money. Doesn't stand on it's own. My toddler keeps knocking it over and gets frustrated with it. Plus no air flows through and it gets VERY HOT inside. Spend a few extra bucks and get something with mesh and a floor so it is a little more stable.

I bought two of these, one Dora and one Disney. They just won't stand up. And the instructions are awful. A big waste of both time and money! I kept the flimsy sleeping bags and tossed the rest out. Very disappointed.

It only took me one day to figure out this tent would be more work then fun. It never stood on it's own and the whole 5 in 1 thing is really pushing it!! I returned it the very next day and my three year old was sad but I am now searching for a replacement.

In the poorly designed "tent mode" it is very flimsy. Within a week the support pole had pushed holes through the fabric making it even more tricky to assemble. About the only thing worthwile is the sleeping bag.

My 2 year old daughter loves it but the only problem is it is not very sturdy.It keeps falling down every now and then.

My daughter loves to play in this, and she has slept in it too. The quality is not that great, but the kids don't mind! Cute idea for a gift too.
