Does this tent have the center support, so you can push it up from the center to help set up more easily with one person?

Yes I am able to set it up and break it down by myself. Though it takes some time to do it because it is quite heavy. It's possible to do it alone yet easier to have someone help you. I enjoy how sturdy this tent is as I use it quite often at craft fairs.

There is a center support in the canopy section and I set up this tent by myself. It is a quality tent that has held up remarkably well to Texas sun, wind and rain. I have never taken it down so I cannot tell you whether that is a 1 or 2 person job.

Yes it does. Also this is an amazing tent. I've had many and this is the best yet. Very comfy and easy to set up and take down. Just be careful with having it flipped over in sand as the sand gets stuck in the hinges.

No there's no separate support structure as in poles or anything. It just form fits over the tent itself.

It does take two persons to set up. It is by far the best tent I have ever had.

Yes...One person can put it up...You will have no problem at all ....It's great..We use ours for camping and so people stop by and ask about. They never seen one like it and ask where we got it.

It's like setting up a tent... It's a little tricky, but can be done by one person. Definitely easier with two!

yes, one person can easily set up this tent. I would set it up once inside before setting up in the wild, for practice.

No, it's just about right for one person. To say that it's OK for 3-4 persons, as suggested by the description, is a bit of a stretch. 1 person is perfectly comfortable in this tent. 2 people are OK, 3 would be tight, 4 would require them to be really friendly with one another. It's fairly light and easy to setup. I would definitely recommend it for one person!

This tent is very easy to set up... one person can set it up in less than 10 minutes, even a beginner.

I have been using this tent for about 8 weeks now at my local greenmarket. I always have someone help me and I would not want to set up by myself. It is not easy to get the legs raised and locked into place with just one person. Often my husband has to get underneath and push the tent up in the middle to get it properly expanded. I hate the set up personally, and hope I never have to do it alone. The breakdown is not that easy either. When the legs are locked in the grooves, they are really locked. It's hard to flip the locks back open to release.

I only used it once so far, but it was an easy set-up. The poles are "permanent", not separate. You just swivel out the poles & push the top up. If you watch any of the videos of the Coleman instant tents, you'll get the idea. I love it.

It is easy to set up- even one person. With two it is really easy. Probably a little more space than you need for a person and a dog, but it would be comfortable.

yes. I have owned this tent for over 6 years now. I take it camping at least twice per year. I set it up by myself every time. it usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes.

It's easy. Just have to insert two "bending poles" through holes on the outside of the tent. It will secure the tent up.

The tent that I have is different form the one pictured. It look like the tent that one person can put up and it stands on its own. I do not know if it can be anchored or how sturdy it is. I considered buying this tent because I now work alone and needed something that I could put up by myself. The company has a demo on line

To be honest, this tent is barely a 3 person tent. You basically are cuddling with the other person in there and there's a big possibility your feet will hang out of the tent. I believe it's small enough to be set up indoors. I was at a festival and saw someone with the same tent and I said, "Oh I have that tent!" They said... "Haha oh that's my dog's tent..." So yeah... lol.

It takes 2 people to put it up without a major hassle. You could go it alone if necessary (and no weights involved) but you have to shift from corner to corner to pull it out evenly and it takes awhile. Two people & it's a simple maneuver that takes a lot less time. I'm 5'9 and fit and I find it difficult.
