Te tent is pretty big once fully laid out. However, it took a while to put together single-handedly without any instruction whatsoever. In the end, it turned out to be really simple. What I like about the tent is that the support tubes are external - not something a 3 year old can fiddle around from inside the tent. Also, it seems pretty sturdy for inside the room purposes. The partial see through top is a good way to keep an eye. However, i don’t know if it is a good fit for external use as I havent used it outside.
