This tent is VERY NICE!! Dont expect it to Fold down Easily though!!! There was four of us trying!!! But that doenst make the FUN tent any less FUN!!! The only flaw I really see besides not folding down is the Door does NOT EVEN COME CLOSE TO CLOSING TIGHTLY!!! I have just encouraged my children to not velcro it togather, because I am afraid the velcro will eventually rip loose.
BUT Still THIS TENT IS FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This thing is a monster! So much fun with the characters, the windows, the swinging door, and the "doggy" door. ;) The colors are bright and the set up simple!

ONLY problem is the fold up... Grrrrrr! It took me 3 days to finally get it! I went to the website and found some videos on set up, only I dragged the mouse and watched them backwards because the written directions are useless. It still is not easy, in fact I would only recommend this tent if you can leave it set up full time or if you have some where to store it flat.

My daughter is 4 years old and we love this house so much we even gave it an address Dora Way. This house fits the Dora kitchen, Dora table and two chairs, Dora Bed @ Armoire for the Dress up Doll, the Dora doll house, pool and the van and she still has room to play. She can make her own little mess and I just close the door. It is great in the winter for the house and in the summer for the yard. Love it, thanks.

When my three year old daughter came home and saw this set up, she was so excited!!! We spend a lot of time in this tent, and it is great for developing imaginations. I also like the fact that it is so easy to put up (took about 5 minutes the first time), and can also be easily folded up and put in the small duffle bag, which is included. However, there are a couple of issues with the way this tent is made. First, the hinged door doesn't fasten to the other side of the tent perfectly; I don't think it was sized correctly to do so. Secondly, after a week of play, some of the stiching is starting to come out of the tent, exposing the plastic "foundation" of the tent. Still, it is a great buy, especially considering plastic playhouses are upwards of $200 and more. An overall good buy, as long as the buyer is aware that it will probably only last six months to a year.

I really feel sorry for the child whose mother has to return this tent just because it is difficult to store. If my child is happy, then so am I... all you have to do is take the medal rod out of the top and it almost fall to where it has to be stored. You twist.. Why take a childs toy away because it difficult to store, just read the directions. ??

I purchased this item for an anticipated playdate and it was a huge hit! I had seven kids running through there as you can enter through the door or the back passageway. If you want the door to close perfectly each time, it won't. The "leaves" of the tree overlap the doorway so you would need to tuck the door underneath for a perfect closure but no big deal. As far as the sturdiness goes, I think this tent will last for years. I don't anticipate any problems with the quality. EASY to set-up too! And the size is great...bigger than most others I saw while shopping.

I love this dora tent.Lots of room and you can even have a slumber night in it.So if you plan on putting it up,leave it up and don't fold it down.It won't work! So i leave mine up.The only thing i can complain about is my cat and kitten.They jump on the roof and make the tent colapse.They must do this about 20 times a day.They hunt eachother through it and is driving me crazy.The kids think it is great.I think they should make these tents pet proof!! LOL!

I bought this for my daughter at Christmas; admittedly I was too unfocused to really see the dimensions of this playhut - this thing is so big I can stand up in it. After only a couple of months of limited play, it doesn't seem to stand up very straight and the roof sags over the door noticeably. We're moving to a new house and I'm hoping to sneak a smaller play hut in its place.

[...] My daughter absolutely loves this playhut! She will play in there, make dad or I sit in there, play peekable through the windows and doors,...even the cats are getting in on the action, running in the door and out the escape hatch!

My [...] Due to hut being in the house right now, I would've liked to be able to keep the door shut easier when not in use.

My kids absolutely love it, but my 4 year old daughter was heartbroken when I told we have to take it back. The folding is impossible. I have a nanny who worked with many playhut products and said they are really easy to fold once you know how. Well, we spent 45 minutes (not to mention the time I already wasted) trying to fold it and failed.

As I have seen on another review. If you can leave this up the entire time, it is great. If you plan to store it, it is impossible. Unfortunately, I will be returning it tomorrow.
