This was easy to put together. I'm 220 pounds at 5'11" and supports me with no problem. It's easy to take apart and fit into the portable bag. I honestly have not had it outside yet, only tried it out in the house, my 7 year old granddaughter lived in it the whole week I had it up. The poles are a bit on the loose side, but once you lay in it, it's stable. The biggest reason I don't have it outside is because it is cloth and I don't want it to get wet in any rain, nor do I want the poles to get rusty. I may put it up for the day, but would take out down for the night.
