I put hours into searching for the best one I could find.
Tldr : Great size. Like it a lot. Easy to set up. Tricky to put away with 1 person and no access to the promo video. Beware of soggy toilet paper in the rain. Will be buying a 2nd.

We are using this as a "Portable Pop Up Pee Palace" - my husband is over 6ft, and most pop up Porta potty tents are 6ft +/-. It's also great for quick changes so you don't have to zip up your whole tent to change your pants.
-
Can you set it up on your own : Yes! Fairly quickly. It takes longer to stake the thing than it does to set it up.
Does having a second person help? : As with most things, yes.
Less flailing around trying to get the 2D tent into 3D.
Can you put it away by yourself? : Maybe. It's not "Hard" to do. Just tricky to get the folding right and it zipped into the bag with one person.
Do you need a 2nd person : Personally, yes. And technically 3 because we watch the lady in the promo video do it 3x every time we have to put it away. Lol
Is it waterproof? : Kind of.
I certainly stayed dry in it. There was no dripping from the ceiling or anything - BUT
We went camping 2x in a row and it ABSOLUTELY POURED. Very heavy rain.
A light rain won't bother it.
Most of the time the inside ground was dry.
HOWEVER.
Putting your roll of toilet paper through the strap touching the tent wall in a rainstorm with get you some prettyyyy pretty shreddy wipes.
There are SO many ways to keep your toilet paper dry. This should NOT deter you from buying this. But I want you to know so you don't make the mistake I did. Now, I have a waterproof container for my toilet paper and it works perfectly.
Is it sturdy? : Yes!! We ended up running our tarp ropes over/on it to make a dryer way to use it at night. It held up structurally even with rope weight on the top. I was impressed. It's easy to move around and stays secure when staked down.
If you're using it in the way we did, do yourself a favor and get the powder stuff to use in your pop up toilet. We did get some tiny flies by day 3. But just unstaked it and turned it upside-down to get them all out.
Overall, I highly recommend this thing.
I am going to be buying a 2nd one for my Boy Scouts - so they can stop using a makeshift tarp latrine.
