Not sure why people are complaining it's so large, and they wouldn't have purchased it if they knew how large it is. The dimensions are listed in the description. That's the purchasers fault for being lazy, and not reading the descriptio, not the company. I bought it BECAUSE it's one of the larger play tents. There is plenty of space for toys, pillows and kid(s). The manual can be a little more clearer on which connector pieces to use... The pipes are clearly labeled, but the connector pieces are not. Over all it is a great product.
