I don't think the people who designed this actually have kids. It looks flimsy and would come crashing down on the kids inside. (I know my kids would knock it down) It is also terribly overpriced for a few pieces of plywood.

Check these out:

These play tents are safe, easy to store and setup, and are 1/20th the price. we have a couple like this that we keep in our downstairs closet. The kids can even set it up and put it away themselves in seconds.

Love the curtain. I remember doing macrame in elementary school. :)

I feel uncomfortable even looking at it.

I have some pumpkin vines growing out of my compost this fall. :)

Be sure to support your local woodworking clubs and buy from the members. The chances are good that there is someone in your local club who will make you exactly what you want for a reasonable cost.

Better yet: 6 small plywood boxes with no trim for $750

Very neat! I'm going to make something like this for my workshop.

I stick with beeswax and mineral oil on the ones I make:

The mineral oil and wax both penetrate and seal the wood well. However, waxing and oiling your wooden bowls should be regular maintenance and not just a one-time thing.

You can also put the oil and wax together in a double boiler to make your own blend. Carnuba wax will add extra hardness and shine to the blend.

I just looked at these again. The final product isn't bad at all. It is actually neat looking in an Ikea kind of way. It is just such a shame to have sacrificed that beautiful wood.

The color was so rich and those neat old bolts showed the age. This is like painting a stick figure on top of a Monet. Ok, i'm not going to look at it again.
