When I ordered this renter it arrived two days after opening. It looks the same as in the photos. It came in a package but I don't understand how you can put it back in the package because that's how it's made. It comes with four poles that extend into the tent. You tie them in the middle to hold everything together. They connected a pocket to the side of the tent and then connected it to the top of the tent. It holds up very well and has velcro on the bottom to hold the door in place. He also has a tie to tie him up. This tent is made like any other tent on the web and is worth what you get.
