We really liked the system for tightening the guide cords to anchor the tent.

The inside of the tent doesnt have many pockets or compartments for storing loose gear.
Considering how thin the material appears, we were shocked at how durable it was throughout our tests.
The assembly instructions are easy to follow with standard components and a basic diagram depicting what steps to take.
Disassembly was also very simple and required no instructions.
