The tent is definitely sturdy. The design lends itself to strength in its setup. I can imagine this tent doing well in a strong wind. I found that the unique diamond shape left a lot of the large floor space wasted, and I was unable to lay out the pads for two tall people without at least one pad riding up one wall a bit. If you don't mind fitting yourself into the available space, and spreading your gear out into available nooks once setup, the floor space to weight ratio is great for a free-standing tent.
