I bought this for my 1 and 2.5 year old girls for Christmas and they loved it! We bought it because it can fold up and be put away-and it does fold up REALLY easily and can be stored well, but they love it so much that we haven't even put it away yet. Great purchase, worth the money. There aren't enough balls to 'fill' the pit but I don't need more things that can get thrown around the house anyway-there are enough to keep them happy
