We purchased the Magic Castle bounce house as a Christmas gift for our 3 yr old. He loved it and spent most of Christmas day bouncing (and cried when we had to take it down). It was very easy to put up and take down, fit well in the bag and we had no issues. The material seems durable - not as thick as the bounce houses you rent, but much better than others I have seen by Little Tykes or Step 2. Also, the free 2 day shipping and no tax was awesome! Have already recommended it to friends.
