I can't say enough about this tent. The floor is extremely rugged, not that you could put a hole in it if you set it up on a stick, but it will handle lots of heavy boot traffic and you can set up table and chairs on it without a worry. The materials are phenomenal. The poles are extremely durable. The fly is awesome. Absolutely no rain can get in unless you are in a hurricane or something. The tent is easy to set up and take down. With that said, you will need to plan on needing two people to set it up. If you got creative one person could probably do it, but not easily. We had trouble setting it up at first because we constructed the frame and then clipped the tent body to the frame. You will need a tall person for this. I am 6' 4" and I had trouble. The remedy for this would be clipping at least the center height clips to the center frame bar before lifting it up and position the side poles in place. Another thing to be aware of when considering to purchase the tent is that the center divider, while a major part can be unzipped like an outer door, it is a permanent divider. This means that there is a permanent rim around the whole inside of the tent where the divider meets the wall. You will never have access to more than one side floor at a time for beds, cots, chairs etc. You will need to think of the two sides of the tent as two separate and permanent rooms. All in all an awesome tent, but you should be thinking long term investment because of the price.
