The tent was easy to put up. It took the two of us about 30-45 minutes (thats without putting up any of the side walls). Since then, we have had family with us outside and everyone complimented the new addition. We had 15-18mph winds days ago and the tent is still standing - granted, its partially protected by our house. We may install 2 of the side walls soon. We plan to keep it up until we are ready to have an aluminum pergola built permanently.  Very happy with the purchase.
