This was the birthday gift that left my daughter almost speechless. She loves it! My sister-in-law and her family gave her this and it is much appreciated by mom too. It keeps her attention and she is content to play by herself long enough that I am able to work in my garden! Love that it has a lid that is fairly easy for an adult or older kid to take off and put on. The umbrella is great, and nice that it is useable separate from the playcenter.
