The assembly would have been easier with a second person, but it goes up easy if you can make it through the instructions. The stickers that identify the different poles were missing, but it was to easy to match them up. I was one long bolt short and had two extra short bolts, but Home Depot is around the corner. On one side of the canopy the Velcro straps are put on so that it doesn_ make a nice seal around the pole because 1/2 of the Velcro strip was sewn on backwards The instructions are a little ambiguous, but hey, it_ just a tent.
