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.

This is an overview of the tent from the open garage door, with the fly door unzipped. It is a large tent, taking up as much room as a car. Three poles run through the red tunnels; you can see one end tunnel over the fly door, and another tunnel is at the peak of the tent. The fourth pole clips the length of the fly on caribiners and holds the vestibules out.
