This thing couldn't really be much easier to set up, it's one hubbed pole (I don't know why the description says it's 2 poles). You can verify it on Big Agnes website if you want to see for yourself: http://www.bigagnes.com/Products/Detail/Tent/FlyCreekUL1 As for whether or not it's really free standing - it is, but there's only a single pole going into the point at your feet. So it's going to work out much better and keep the tent body away from your toes if you stake it out. Likewise if you really want to keep the fly off the tent body (especially at your feet) you're going to have to stake it out. You can get away without staking it out if you have to though (like if you're sleeping on a boulder).
