I ordered this for my two kids, ages 4 & 1. I was worried it might be too small but it is the perfect size. 4 small children fit comfortably but there were 5 children playing happily in it without complain. I like that it folds down to cover the sand and the bench seating is a bonus feature that we find very beneficial. 12 (50 pound) bags of sand filled it up while allowing a little space for the toys to stay inside with the top closed. Very sturdy. A great buy!
