We were thrilled with how easy it was to set up. The box that it comes shipped in, is the box we use to transport it. All we have to do is take it out of the box, unroll it and it's ready to go. This was from us setting it up for the very first time. It matches well with most of Kate's backdrops. The quality is great, we have had 40+ people walk on it, and it still looks great.
