The tent space became a great backyard retreat through the summer and fall. Big enough for three, most comfortable for two people in chairs with a side table and cooler and floor fan. I laid a carpet on the concrete patio, fixed the tent over it, and strung mini Christmas lights on the support rods and across the inside "ceiling" space. It's tall inside, so the lights were 6 feet and up as they crossed the interior space.The window coverings were easy to open and close. The tie-downs worked well. The hexagonal structural shape creates a sturdy tent against win. Waterproof, too...rain did not penetrate the roof or sides! I like the color scheme and "no seeum" black mesh which does a great job of keeping bugs out...except those that climb underneath ;-). So, the only downside is how well the roof joint is made. I struggled to pop the roof up after the walls locked open ... and to close it again to pack it up. It always felt like I would break it by pushing so hard on that roof peak joint. It's at least a two person job to setup and takedown, maybe three would be better. The upside to my score on "easy to use" is the joints holding the frame are so sturdy, they don't flex easily. All other assembly parts came together easily. I like it. I look forward to next summer and creating an oasis retreat center in my own backyard...not permanent, easy up and moveable. Get one for yourself.
