JMO from United States, UT Public Profile

This was just delivered and I was so excited, as I've wanted this privacy shelter since Kelty released it on the market. As with everything I order online, I opened it immediately, and assembled it to make sure 1) it was doable by myself 2) there was no damage or any other issues. All parts were there and no damage, but assembly was almost impossible to do by myself and I nearly gave up. Even with two people, I think it would be tricky. The issue was clipping the shelter to the poles - specifically the last of the top clips. The fabric was SO TAUGHT it took me a long time, a LOT of patience and a lot of swearing, but I was finally able to do it. I was seriously worried the seams were going to rip, and I know polyester doesn't stretch like a nylon tent material would, but I've decided to leave it up for the rest of the week in hopes it will stretch enough to make assembly easier. I had the same issue with the rain fly, so leaving that on as well. If I disassemble and have the same issues getting it assembled next time, I will be returning this. I absolutely love Kelty, and have never had an issue with any of their products until now. I'm really surprised at the poor quality and difficulty in this product.
