The steel poles really do make a difference—it didn't wobble at all even on a windy afternoon at the campsite. Setup was quick since it's free-standing, and having a spot to change and rinse off at the lake was worth every penny.

Used this as a shower tent on a week-long camping trip and it stayed upright through some gusty afternoons. The free-standing setup meant I could just pop it open on flat ground without staking anything down first.

The steel poles make a noticeable difference on windy days, and setting it up solo took me maybe five minutes. Only gripe is the carry bag feels a bit thin, but the shelter itself does exactly what I needed at camp.
