Tangwystel,

 I used an EZ Up all last year (for SCA and non-SCA events). The only time I had a problem was when someone moved my rope staking it down to make it more convenient for them andled to a leg being bent (I was NOT at all happy). A little bending back and hammering and it's still usable. Seeing as I travel and set up solely alone, it hasn't been at all difficult to set up and I usually do it in an hour. This includes the tent walls I add for atmosphere and effect (I'll send you a photo of my tent off list). It isn't until you are actually under the tent that you can even tell it isn't period. If money and time allowed, I would go for a more period look, but seeing as I like to look a little more "elaborate", this has done the job for me. I even made a topper for it and keep it on when breaking down.

 If you plan on being at Sapphire this weekend, I'd be happy to show you my set up and little "tricks" I used for the look :). I'll be doing henna again this year (but in a litmited capacity).

I would love to get a period tent (for vending) but the truth is that I'm usually alone so I need something I can put up by myself. I want to get a brand that is going to last.
