There are no instructions to tell you how to put the tent up, only how to take it down. So now I have to figure it out and hopefully it will be easy. So I decided not to put it up all the way yet. I am going camping in a few weeks so I will test it out then. Meanwhile, I did pull it out enought to tell that it is made out of decent material and it comes with stakes and a cord for set up. Since I am a beginner, I will be able to see how easy it is to assemble and break down for first time users.
