We received the tent very quickly - thank you! It took a bit to get oriented as to where to start. Once we lined up the correct poles, it was a sinch from there. The tent is very sturdy once you put the stakes in the ground. It is durable. When we put it up initially, we had a drastic storm come through that night and next day, so it went through heavy, continuous rain for at least 10 hours. It is strong and comfortable. Worth the buy!
