Pine poles cross at the ridge to hold a triangular canopy 48 inches high over a 54 by 57 inch floor, which is room for 2 children or one child and a parent reading together. The canopy is polyester cotton, a blend that feels close to cotton with a slightly coarse linen texture, resists wrinkling and goes in the washing machine when snack crumbs get involved. Poles are sanded free of burrs and splinters. The whole tent weighs 8.5 lbs and comes apart for a picnic in the park or a corner of the bedroom, then goes back up in minutes. Bunting flags across the front give it a den-like look. Use it for quiet reading, naps, birthday parties or an afternoon of pretend camping.
