I'm very happy with my beveled H8 square yurt. I really could've used something moving the air a little bit though, even a small battery powered fan would've been wonderful to have. I was already thinking of adding a swamp cooler for next time.
I did most of the set up and tear down myself without problems. I had pre-built it with hinges. I needed one other person for carrying it, and putting the roof on. One of the fun things about this folding H8 was that it was easy to tape the roof together on the ground, while fully folded. Using the plywood it was packed in as a floor worked great (I think it was 19/32"). I still need a better way of actually holding the yurt in line with the floor, but shifting off of it mostly served to give me better ventilation. And I still want to find some way to waterproof the floor, which might mean adding a tarp as many do (to cope with standing water). 24" x 1" commercial tent stakes turned out to be serious overkill :) I only used two of them. I was happy with using clothesline.
