I really like this tent, but we broke it after just a few months' use.  I like the removable mat; it's thick & offers lots of cushion.  The price point was good for us.  We used it in the living room, the yard, and the beach with our ~1 year old.  Unfortunately, one of the plastic tubes of the poles bent and now the tent doesn't work quite right.  I will investigate getting a replacement.  Given that as an adult trying to be careful, I easily messed up the pole, I'm not sure how well this tent would stand up to abuses by older kids.  It's a cute tent, but be careful when you're setting it up & taking it down.
