I would start by saying that for the money this is an awesome set with a whole lot included! I was really impressed how small a package all of this fits into, I would guess the circular bag it fits into is about 20" in diameter and five or six inches thick. It was very straightforward to unpack and set up, and if you have any experience with these spring metal-backed pop up things, they aren't any harder to fold up than any others. My son has an awesome time playing with it and it keeps his interest for quite a while. The hardest part of setup is the large section in the middle which requires four tent post like supports for rigidity, not overly difficult but also a little more than the others which just pop up. Now for the downsides: Where the tubes connect to the ball pit and Tents, it just uses a pair of loop connects on either side to secure it. With the small kids crawling through it full speed, they come unhooked basically instantly. It would be really cool to see maybe a zipper style connection here, or at least something more secure than the loop and small plastic piece commonly seen on tents for holding up vents, doors, windows, Etc. It is also worth noting that it did not include the balls pictured in the ball pit. A little bit of a letdown, but likely my fault for not reviewing the description in better detail.
