The fabric is a bit lighter than original canvas, but looks very close to original for living history events. I had a grommet partially pull loose when I overtightened when attaching to a neighboring tent''s stake, and a wooden tent peg split in the hard Georgia clay of Toccoa, but I had a spare peg so no big deal. Otherwise everything works just fine and should last awhile. The tent is a great centerpiece for a living history display; toss in a sleeping bag or wool blanket, a musette bag, entrenching tool, and some loose equipment and you''re good to go. If you''re going to camp in it, I''d suggest using a 3rd section of shelter (or some bulk canvas from a fabric store) as a ground cover, and spray some water repellant over the tent to protect the fabric.
