We use this tent in our downstairs playroom and it gets LOTS of use!  My 20 month old daughter loves to read in there, listen to music, dance, and play with her toys in there.  We've had a mini camp out in there as a family and enjoyed some delicious smores!  I love how easy this tent is to assemble.  And I am so grateful at how well it keeps my daughter's attention and how colorful and fun it is!  We don't use it outside and I doubt we ever will.  It doesn't seem very weather resistant.  I do recommend this to anyone asking for advice on birthday gifts.
