Can it be used inside - will it stand up without using stakes?

Yes you can. Stakes will help stretch out the tent, but the tent will stand up on its own.

It's very very small it's not very sturdy either, I'm not sure if it will stand alone

Ours just recently was taken down from being up in our playroom since Christmas, so no stakes needed.

Yes you could use it indoor as the poles hold it up and it would not need to be staked.

It will work as a freestanding tent, yes. Pegs/stakes are mostly to keep it from blowing away in a storm.

Yes, it can be used indoors. It has a pivoting thing in the middle that doesn't require mounting it down.

It is fine without a stand. It is over a foot thick so it will stand up by itself. I don't have a stand either, but I do set it against my shed just as a precaution.

You'd have to adapt it to a new base...The stakes have to be in the ground....I know someone who welded a plate with a pipe sticking out to mount to it... Yeah, that's what I wanted to do too...use indoors! Grrrr..I didn't see the light gray stakes that come with it!

It depends on the type of ground your setting up on, I would advise always bringing a hammer/mallet of some type. If you can't put the stakes in the ground you won't have a tent, this is not a setup in your living room for fun type of tent.

You can collapse it so it isn't standing up in case of strong winds. If you live in an area with year-round moderate weather, you should be able to leave it outside, but I do recommend collapsing it when not in use.

Yes, it can be set up like a normal umbrella, but I would recommend using the pair of cords that it comes with to attach to stakes in the ground. For the size of this, I don't believe it would be steady enough to safely skip using them.

The poles don't go into the ground so it can definitely be used indoors. Optional pieces can be used to reinforce outdoor use.

I don't think it would stand well without being secured. I used a hammer and the stakes come with the tents. There would not be enough tention to secure the pole. Hope this helps. I really like the tent. It worked well for me.

Although the feet on the bottom help it stand straight I would not use it outside without at least tying it down. It cannot take any wind when it is not tied or staked.

It comes with some stakes and unless it's extremely windy, it should be fine. It also has some tie down lines.

You can stake it to the ground but I would purchase stakes from a hardware store. The ones that come with it aren't great in big wind.

I use mine in my basement. It is very stable even without the stakes. Bad shots are usually not a problem. Just stand fairly close and the only issue is if your shot does not get into the air. Grounders will bounce of the base. I have never missed wide though.

Yes it can, but it will blow around if it is windy. We don't stake ours because the kids love playing with it all over the garden

No. It does not have stakes. But I have had no problems with it falling over.
