I rated this so high because, as a requested Christmas present this went over big time. I assembled the unit by myself. I believe it would be a lot easier with 2 people. The assembly was ok except stringing the lights. The bands to hold the lights are not big enough to easily pull the light string though. I could not use the air pump provided with the unit to inflate the cushion. I had to use one hand to keep the nozzle in the fill valve, and the pump is overly difficult to operate with one hand. The cushion sits unprotected in the bottom of the unit and is exposed to any sharp object. A canvas pocket for it would have been nice. I am going to get a circular cushion to cover it. All that being said my granddaughter likes the windows and door flaps. She finds it very cozy and comfortable. Purchase objective achieved!
