Just received this today. It was very easy to put up, though with four people, one at each post, is the easiest.  I can’t comment on how it holds up over time as it is brand new, but set up was a breeze. It looks great too. We won’t leave this up in the yard but use it time to time so hopefully that will extend the life.  It also Comes with a nice bag to pack it up into so it is definitely portable!
