I was soooo excited to get this. imagine a fort you can build yourself. I read the reviews of people saying it's great and I thought, what a great christmas present for my kids|! The fort is just awful. it falls apart if someone sneezes in the next room! you push and push the sticks in and it still falls apart if you hang the lightess of light sheets on it! i keep rebuilding it and it keeps falling apart. i would ask for my money back, but i'm sure the crazy people at crazy forts just don't do that!
