This was purchased as a gift so I have not seen it assembled.  I was extremely disappointed in the packaging to ship it.  The tent was in a simple fabric bag which is fine but the shipping package was just another plastic bag.  There was absolutely no cushion to protect from the handling during shipping. When I received it the shipping bag had clearly been quite torn and re-taped to the point I thought I would damage the tent trying to get through all the tape.  Luckily the tent was OK but bubble wrap or a box would have been so much better for shipping.
