My kids are loving this. As an adult I'm loving this kit also. Good price for good quality. The bars are from flexible plastic as in the specification. The joints are not so heavy as I taught but are from a durable material. The kit came with his own back pack witch is awesome. I taught that will have also the cover for the tent but it's not included (no problem, I'll just use a blanket). I verified and in fact the cover is not included.
