FANTASTIC! The first time we set this tent up, it was in the house, just to get an idea... Took us about 15-20 minutes. It wasn't bad at all. But it DOES take two people!! Our first experience on the road with it took us to the Grand Canyon where we arrived at 9:00pm. It took us again less than 25-30 minutes to set it up (in the dark) using only a couple flashlights.. Do make sure you stake the corners down FIRST before you raise it. You need one person outside the tent, and one inside to raise it. After that, using the stakes to secure it was a breeze... Having so many windows and a full mesh ceiling was great for star gazing after a long day. We put a KING sized mattress in the second room, and had plenty of space to walk and move around.. This tent is so big, our puppy (Shih Tzu) Kujo, got plenty of exercise just running from the front door back into the 2nd room. The first room is great to leave all your bags,cloths,shoes etc....and it has a floor in it, which is a BIG plus so you are not walking on dirt like some other two room tents... The 2 nights we spent at the Grand Canyon (May 10-11,2010)-(to verify winds) we experienced 35+ mph winds.. This tent DID NOT MOVE! And the reason it didn't move was because it was securly tied all the way around. The only thing we could hear was the wind. Ya the sides flapped around a bit like most tents, but what do you expect, they aren't solid walls. We have recieved many compliments on this tent.. I researched every 8-12 person,family tent out there with four things in mind..1) Tall enough to move and walk around in. 2) It had to have a screen ceiling and windows. 3) Large enough for a KING SIZE air mattress. 4) Had to have shock cords...BINGO !! I HIGHLY recommend this tent to everyone. When Wenzell designed this, they found a winner.... I am so proud of this tent, We can't wait to go on our next road trip... Walmart had the best price of anyone.. I "researched it!" :)
