Based on other reviewers I heeded the warning and had help setting it up.  I expected it to be a real doozy however it was not terrible.  The instructions are very vague, but it's not rocket science.  I did not give this product 5 stars because I have not seen it perform in bad weather; however I will be back to update my review when it starts snowing in NY.  The space is great.  The zipper door is a little hard to close but it works.  The only downside is that it is very dark inside but if you're just using it to store things and you wont be in and out of it much, it works great.
