We love it.A 4 year old boy and a 6 year old girl.What a blessing.I dont have to pick up the couch cushions and sheets and blankets any more.I am the mother and I put it up by myself easily.Probally took about 15 minutes.I think its as sturdy as a tent can be.I was thinking of buying a playhouse,they are so expensive.With this they can have it inside too.

There is no doubt the castle is a superb hit (twin boys, age 4), who absolutely loved it. However, it is extremely difficult & frustrating to assemble. Assembly could be much easier, but the instructions are essentially useless, and I still believe the correct assortment of tent poles was not provided (the instructions say there are 3 types of tent poles; the correct number is 5 types, and the numbers of each type provided did not match the number of spaces for each type of pole). The sleeves for the tent poles are well hiddent, and it took a super sleuth to find them. Set plenty of time aside for assembly.
