I bought DD the teepee from Babystyle during the sale (http://babystyle.com/common/dProductDetail.asp?pmid=20665&dept=37&sc=140) It is very cute, but difficult to set up. DD loves it but it is just not working, I want to get her something to replace it before I return it. This is something that will stay up most of the time so it doesn't have to be super easy setup, however I want something that isn't really difficult to store.
I don't want to spend a lot, but I want something that is good quality.
Any suggestions?

We just got the Ryans Room Craze Maze and my kids love it!
It has a tent, teepee, and 2 tunnels so there is plenty to
play with (when it is set up indoors we only use either the
tent or teepee and one tunnel). We set the full thing up
outdoors this past weekend and the kids had a blast with it.

It is very easy to set up. We actually got ours brand new,
sealed in the box from someone on Craigslist for only $25.00

I was going to suggest the same one--the Ryan's Room one. Even I (who am admittedly not good at putting things together) can put it together. It stores pretty easily too. It is big though. We only had the tent and one tunnel up and it took up a lot of the room. It would probably be lots of fun outside though. Or if you had a lot of space to keep it. The tent itself isn't bad though. I think we bought the whole setup (tent, tepee, two tunnels) at Costco for $25.

More happy Ryan's Room tent/tunnel owners. We have last year's Costco set and it has worked out really well for us. $25ish, but I'm not sure if it is available year round or just pre-holiday/Christmas.

This sounds like exactly what I'm looking for. I found a couple on ebay but the shipping is crazy. Anyone know where I can find it? I don't live near a costco so thats not an option, and I'm sure it is a holiday item anyway.

I bought ds a pop up tent at a garage sale for a few $$. I searched "pop up tent" on TRU and pulled up some that may work for you. they are so easy to set them up. The Dora one is similar to the tent I have.

amazon.com pulled up a lot of decent (imo) choices by using the same search as above and narrowing to "toys/ games."

overstock.com often has pop up play tents (maybe tunnels too?) if I remember right, and their shipping is always cheap.

DD loves her IKEA play tent. It's cheap, easy to set-up and dismantle. They also have tunnels but we don't have the space.
