Bought this for our daughters sweet 16 birthday and have used it a bunch of times... easy to transport to friends homes for their parties too... easy to set up - requires at least 3 people for quick assembly, the more people the quicker it goes up. We have it down to a science now, so can have it fully assembled in 10 minutes. Bought large clear totes to store the canopy and sides in. Best investment I ever made )
