Bought this after I saw a friend's tent. Have used it once for two nights w/my two daughters (ages 9 and 13) and found it fit us very comfortably.
Only used for shelter from wind. no rain testing yet.
Setup of the tent alone is very quick and simple.
Adding the fly and footprint requires a little more thought, but I'll get it eventually.
I particularly like the attention to detail. Specifically:
--The footprint, tent and fly all have one grommet tab which is a different color. Just line those up and you are ready to go.
--About halfway up the fly are velcro loops to tie it to the poles.
--The poles are incredibly simple to put together and the aluminum rings have easy to see "this side up" on it.
