Do kids actually enjoy these things...?

I'm so confused. Cardboard boxes are far less expensive, but these look a lot nicer and can be stored better when not in use...

We have two and my kids and all my nieces and nephews LOVE them. They range from 1-7. The oldest has to army crawl through it but he loves chasing the younger ones through it. We got our first one 5 years ago and its still in great shape. And they connect! With any tents and tunnels by this brand. This is the most durable brand I've found.

You've convinced me to go ahead and buy. I was looking for details about durability--especially since I'm getting these for the highly active cats we foster. Going for the rather ugly "First Place" because it has the least amount of snaggable mesh.

My 11 month old nephew AND my yorkie love this thing! They chase each other through and giggle the whole time (yeah, it's weird to see the yorkie giggle ;) )

Also, about not storing well? It stores flat. I'm not sure how a cardboard box stores better than that.

Although I did notice they have 5ft ones at Ikea for $15 when I went last month.

Would my cat like this?

We have one of the Ikea ones (purchased a few years ago). The cats love it--but it collapses all of the time. I'm hoping that these have a sturdier construction that can stay fully expanded. The wire in the Ikea one we have falls flat far too quickly.

To the person asking whether their cat would like this: our playful cats really enjoy the lesser-quality tunnel we currently have. They run through it, lounge in it, bat at one another through the walls... Can't hurt to give it a try.

Yes! Our cats and our toddler love it!

Walmart has some super cute ones for $17. Only $6 to ship to my home. Something to consider. I just bought the monkey one they have.

Cats will crawl inside anything, plus as a bonus you get multiple toys because they'll play in the box too.

Oh boy, this is going to be awhile.

Next item please, I've got unlocked free shipping to use!

Yes Please! There are a couple of woots that need to go onto the next item!!

This item must suck, because it has been stuck pretty much a full bar since it came out. Do you really want your kid crawl through a large intestine?

Is there a woot problem today? I ordered one at 12:03 pm and my order is still in the processing state 40 minutes later.

I'm trying to buy one (fairies) but keep getting a Server Error when I go to seal the deal. About 10 minutes now, maybe that's why it doesn't seem to be moving...

Having the same trouble. But it looks like things are moving a little bit.

This WootOff seems a bit buggy, probably due to all of the side woots that are around now.

Same here, though not quite as long ago as that. I want to use these as agility practice tunnels for my dog (she's small enough) and it's irritating not knowing if I'm really getting them or not.

Great, now it says I've bought too many despite never confirming one... :P

Glad to know that about the Ikea one. I was originally sad that I had already purchased these when I saw them.

Uh oh. Contact support@woot.com to figure out how they can help fix it up.
