Playz3pc Rocket Ship Astronaut Kids Play Tent, Tunnel, & Ball Pit with Basketball Hoop Toys for Boys, Girls, Babies, and Toddlers - STEM Inspired Educational Galactic Spaceship Design w/Planets

I was a little confused by assembly instructions at first. The first two pieces simply popped open and were good to go. The tent was the only piece that required assembly. After a bad experience with another tent where I'd gotten a bunch of fiberglass splinters, I put on two sets of disposable gloves before touching the poles. I was expecting to slide these through sleeves, but there are actually pockets at the top and bottom which I've shown in the photos. I put the longer ends at the top and they fit perfectly. Getting the last one in was only a little tricky, but I would give this 10/10 for ease of set up. We were going to leave the three pieces disconnected so we could move it around with ease, but the kids tied them together. We paid $50, which seemed to be a fair price comparatively and I shopped around a bit. It seems well made and to be of quality materials. As stated, it does not come with the balls. I paid about $30 for 200 balls, which you can see don't quite cover the floor. However, the kids seemed very happy with this. We didn't want to go crazy on the balls yet because I want to be sure the kids pick them all up and they stay in the ball pit. So far (3 days later) they seem to be doing well. We got this for our 3 year old boy and he loves it. He immediately noticed the basketball hoop and started throwing balls into it. We tried putting our Little Tykes slide into it, but it's not really practical/too big. Our almost 5 year old girl has also been climbing through and enjoying it. Our almost 9 year old girl has inexplicably called this her favorite Christmas present. Even though she got several other presents she likes, she spent most of Christmas day flailing around in the ball pit and enjoying the feel of it. SMH... She can crawl through the tunnel, but says it's a little tight. I have seen all three of them sitting in the ball pit together, but it did look a little crowded. However, they've been playing together very nicely with it. I would say this was definitely a good toy investment. Although it does take up a large chunk of the living room, it's easy to take down and store in a small space. The package/storage size is about the diameter of the tunnel and only about an inch or so in width. I'm pleased that they've been getting a lot of exercise moving around in it and it would be easy to use these as separate pieces or eliminate one if we needed the room. As an extra surprise, we received a slip promising a $5 rebate, so I'm excited at the prospect that it actually cost less than I thought. Don't know if they all come with this or if it was random. I would say that my kids are pretty rough on stuff. We had a tunnel similar to this one and after about a year of hard play (they like loading it with heavy toys and sliding it around the house) it's at the end of it's life with wires exposed. I expect this to have a similar lifespan, but still think it's worth the investment. I would keep this in mind if your kids are rough like mine, but if not, I'd expect it to last many years. I will try to update this in a year to give a better idea of the quality. Or I will update if we have any issues. If no update, you can assume ours is still in good shape which will be a good testament to it's durability to hold up to my kiddos.

I bought the Playz Ball Pit, Tunnel & Tent for Christmas 2020 based on a reasonable combination of price and quality. I'm certainly glad I did as It was a HUGE hit with both me and my 18mo grandson!The tent and ball pit are large enough for adults to get into with him and play - wow, that was fun!The ball pit and tunnel literally POP open as soon as you remove the elastic. ( Careful though, I was closely holding the ball pit in my lap. When I let it open it whooshed, right off my lap, completely assembled on the floor! I was tickled with the sudden event, even though it whacked me on the nose on the way down!) The tent poles are simple to install and sturdy, if you follow the directions. I'm in my late 60"s and The entire assembly of the 3 units took me 20 - 30 minutes.My grandson LOVES balls and this set was an immediate and HUGE hit. I put him in the ball pit and within seconds, he was tossing and kicking the balls around and heading through the tunnel (I connected all 3 units) and into the tent. He loved that the balls can move freely inside. He'll push some balls out the tunnel door, then one by one, drop them over the edge and back into the pit, repeating the process.I believe it to be durable, but not suited for claws or rough, shoving kids who might treat it like a bounce toy. My Ganndson's is located in their lower level on a carpeted floor. You need a carpet or pad under the whole thing; the material in strong, but thin, and the metal hoops in the tunnel can be hard on the knees with a direct hit. .The three units together can easily fit along a wall, so it doesn't take up as much space as I thought. I purchased 400 ball pack and it was enough to cover the bottom about 2 balls thick. I might buy another 200, but 400 is very adequate.It's wonderful for him to have a silent, non-electronic, imagine-sparking toy that he enjoys so much!

I bought this for my dog and cat as something to occupy them with while I'm working from home. They love it. I will say that it's much larger than anticipated. If you're short for space, this probably isn't the best choice for you--but if you have a play room/bonus room/large room to put it in, it's worth it.Also, if you are purchasing for a dog that likes to chew up/de-stuff toys, I don't recommend purchasing ball pit toys, and instead using tennis balls/other toys. I did purchase ball pit balls and each day I walk around picking up punctured/crushed/chewed plastic balls to throw in the garbage. Again, they love it (my cat even bats a ball around the house), but hindsight I would have skipped it.Sturdiness:The rocket tent is leaning a bit to one side already, but I did witness my cat jump from one surface into the top/side of it, so overall I feel like it's holding up to their shenanigans as expected. To connect the pieces, one piece will have a fabric loop and the other will have a tie. there are four sets of ties per connecting location. My dog (a 40 lb border collie/cocker spaniel mix) discovered the space in between the ties *looked* like it was big enough to be an entrance. He wasn't totally wrong, but one of the loops did get ripped off. Again, it's holding up as expected (and considering the price).Easy to Assemble:The only kind of frustrating part to assemble was the tent, for one pretty small reason that was easy to fix. There are four tent poles used to assemble the rocket, each has a bend around the halfway mark where the side of the rocket transitions to the point/roof. It *appears* that there's no wring direction for putting the poles in, but one side is slightly (literally by 1-2") longer than the other, and I didn't realize I had put the first two in the wrong way until I put the third one in the right direction.
