I was torn between a 5 star and a 4 star review, mainly because the loss of a star is really due to weather conditions. We live in southwest Montana and the weather here changes on a dime. First, the positives of which there are many: It was easy to assemble, and I would suggest you have maybe 3 others to help set it up. It was very roomy, we sat 24 people easily with three 6-foot tables (see photo). In normal weather conditions, I'm sure it's very secure and sturdy. Here in Montana, we had a front come in and a huge gust of wind lifted the tent up, even with the stakes firmly in the ground. Fortunately, everyone was finished eating and jumped in to help disassemble it right before the rain started. All in all, it's a good investment and we'll use it again. I got it on sale and not sure I would pay full price for it now, but I do recommend it.
