Like many reviews state this is really a one or two time use tent. But it’s so much cheaper that renting one. The key is to have any many people as you can to set it up. We bent one of the top poles lifting it up to put the final poles in place. Also key as tying  it down with tent stakes not the ones included. Once tied down it was great. For being white it provided great shade in a full sun spot. If you need a tent for an event this is the one to get.
