We bought this to go outside, but it never made it there.  We put it in the middle of the living room and it is a life saver.  I have a 2 year old and 9 month old and they both love it. The 9 month old likes to stand with it and walk around it, while my 2 year old uses it for everything.  We do crafts, lunch, snacks and just sit down reading time.  Im debating on getting another one for outside.  The seats are big enough for more than 4 children and my 2 year old can get up and down with ease.  Great purchase,[...], easy assembly and great price.  ++++++
