Some of my campmates liked to make fun of me and called me boujee with how big this thing was but when a thunderstorm rolled in everyone ended up in my 'boujee tent'. So, what can I say...I WIN! This thing is great. It took about 25 minutes to set up the first time with two people, just becuase it's that way with any new product. Take down was quicker. The second time, I set it up by myself in about 15 minutes. For reference: I'm a 50-year-old female standing super tall at 5'0". If I can do it so can you. Some water droplets were forming at the seams after about 5 hours of strong wind and heavy rain. You will need to waterproof it. Metal stakes are heavy-duty and did not bend.
