This steel pop up canopy is very easy and quick to set up. I don’t think you need the recommended six people to setup since there was only three of us but it is pretty heavy. It took less than 15 minutes to put up with 3 people so it probably would be less if we had the recommended 6 people. It just took a while to spread out the legs. The only reason why I gave it 4 stars was because the middle section of the polls I hoped would be flushed with the canopy but it hangs down a bit so someone tall would find this part annoying. Other than that I would recommend this, I guess I just needed to get a taller one.
