I bought the 6-person cabin, and set it up by myself in 6 min flat! Takedown was just as easy--maybe 10 min tops. PS: This tent it GREAT for 2-3 people and lots of gear, but if you really have 6 people, I'd suggest buying a much larger model. I also wish it came with a spare plastic [pole clamp for the roof peak poles, jic. The whole system depends on those clamps.
