What are your thoughts on Ilford Pop-Up Darkroom? Are they actually reliable?

I bought one on sale

It is a HEAVY DUTY Tent!

We camped in similar in the 50's

That tent lasted into the 80's

Set it up for life

Great that someone has the Ilford. How much time does it take to put it up?

Thanks for the information on setup time and materials.

At the B&H sale price, I won’t save enough from DIY to make it worth my while, and I have a summer home where the popup will be very useful. Caught B&H just before it closed for a week for Passover, delivery day after tomorrow

I also have one. As others have said, it's very well-made and sturdy. I found it awkward to set up without a second person helping.
