I throw parties at my house all the time and had a 18x30 tent to replace. That tent was a hassle to put up since it was made of tubes you put together. I bought two of these units to replace that tent. This tent take a little bit of time to set-up the first time since you have to put it together but after that it takes just a couple of minutes to put it up. It is the Bugalow model of Ez-Up and it is made of high quality sunbrella material. It is just as easy to take down as it is to put up. You can even attach a fan or light to the middle of it as it has a standard thread. It is big tent. I highly recommend this unit if you are always having to put a tent up for an event. It packs up into a black bag that it comes with. It has a 10 year warranty on the frame and 5 year on the sunbrella top. You can not find a better price for this unit anywhere else as all other stores sell this unit over $1200. This was great buy!
