Fairy Princess Castle Play Tent Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As the mom of three kids, I have seen my fair share of play tents.Most are a big pain to set-up, and some rip easily (paper-like fabric).This tent is made of nylon-like tent fabric.Not the strongest material in the world, but just fine for what it is intended for.It also sets up very easily.Comparing it to the $50 princess tent that wouldn't stand up straignt, and had no sides or bottom, I'd have to say this is an excellant value, and very cute.Sans the frills -- i.e. no blinking lights like the princess tent, but we put our own blinking flashlight inside for a cool disco effect.

A number of other reviewers said that the pole holes were sewn shut.I must admit that I fell under the of power of suggestion.When first setting up the tent, I too thought the holes were sewn shut.However, my husband very quickly saw that the slit in the pockets were mid-way down the felt rectangle -- exactly where they should be, so that there is a "pocket" of felt surrounding the tent-pole, and it doesn't poke into the nylon fabric.

I'd have to say that it is very well designed and constucted -- and cute to boot!My ONLY complaint is the directions are horrible.Just a photo.A few words or two to explain the pockets would have saved me 3 minutes.

I think we'll be buying the boy version for our son very soon.
