Some parts came bent and not completely molded. It definitely takes 2 people to put together. It took us around 5 hours. The main poles that attach to the ground are hollow which is not an issue. The issue is you can not put anything inside them to secure to ground but a few tent stakes. I cut a larger hole in the base to reinforce with rebar so it will not got blown off the ground by the wind. Already had a rain storm and no leaks.
