SEE NOTE AT END.
The first time I put it up, I put it up alone. It was not difficult, but not easy. The instructions worked, and I followed them without any confusion. It is a 4-person tent and has standing headroom in the center (for me at 5-foot 10 inches). The poles are long, so if we use the tent in a campground, it will behoove us to watch out where the poles go. More details under each photo. We camped with the tent in Saline Valley over Thanksgiving 2007. There were very strong winds, which did affect the tent, but not to the extent we were concerned. One pole bent noticeably, but no big deal. Photos of the tent on our campout at the end of the gallery.
NOTE: we've given up on using it. It's too cramped inside, the standing head room goes away when you have stuff in the tent and can't stand where the air mattress is - it takes up too much floor space and can't be situated away from the center of the tent.

The tent is symmetrical. This is the view from inside the garage out. The fly has clear plastic portholes so you can see out without letting the weather in. We camp in Death Valley on Thanksgiving. Overnight temperatures are on either side of 20 degrees Fahrenheit. We camp at Burning Man the end of September. Temperatures during the day approach a hundred, but the big problem is wind and dust. Winds exceed 50 miles per hour at least once during every event, sometimes more often. The dust has reduced visibility to four feet during one of the burns. We don't want that dust in our tent, and this looks like it will seal very well.
