So I ordered this super cute princess castle tent for my daughter and I love it! Honestly the only down side to it so far is that there were no instructions included. I did however reference the diagram in the pictures on the product listing and I was able to put this tent together in about 15 minutes. I was torn on giving this product 4 stars or 5 becasue of the no instructions, but it was not hard for me to assemble the poles, so I say 4.5 stars.

First I thought I was going to put the poles together and then slip the tent on, but that was not the case. The poles that go on the bottom of the frame go into a sleeve on the floor of the tent. I used the medium length poles for the base and the longest poles for the side of the tent, these poles connected with the plastic connectors. I use the rest of the medium length poles for the top of the tent. Finally I use the shortest pole for the "roof" of the tent. I used the included plastic extension pieces to make these pole long enough, and these pole get connected to the spider looking plastic piece. I was very happy how well everything fit together, best of all the tent fabric lined up perfectly once I assembled all the poles.

My 3 year old daughter has really enjoyed playing in her new tent. I have to say it has held up very well with heavy play. All six sides of this tent can be tied back or left down. I am happy with the size of the tent. It is a little larger than I thought but this is not a bad thing. The inside of the tent is 51.5" tall. My 3 year old can stand up in it. The diameter is 51", so it is large enough for 2-3 kids to comfortably play in. I can even play in there too. Each of the 6 openings are 34" tall and easy to go in and out of. I have to say this has made story time and play time so much fun! 


One of daughters favorite things about her new princess tent is the lights! There is a 23' strand of battery operated lights with 50 small star lights. I strung them up along the pole of the tent. The lights take 3 AA batteries that are not included. On the battery pack there is a small switch to turn the lights on, off, and there is a flashing mode too.

I am very happy with this play tent and my daughter is loving it too.
