About Columbia Sportswear
Founded in 1938, Columbia Sportswear Company has grown from a small family-owned hat distributor to one of the world's largest outerwear brands and the leading seller of ski-wear in the United States. Columbia's extensive product line includes a wide variety of outerwear, sportswear, rugged footwear and accessories. Columbia specializes in developing innovative products that are functional yet stylish and offer great value. Eighty-year-old matriarch Gert Boyle, Chairman of the Board, and her son, Tim Boyle, President and CEO, lead the company.
Columbia's history starts with Gert's parents, Paul and Marie Lamfrom, when they fled Germany in 1937. They bought a small hat distributorship in Portland, Oregon, and named it Columbia Hat Company, after the river bordering the city. Soon frustrated by poor deliveries from suppliers, the Lamfroms decided to start manufacturing products themselves. In 1948, Gert married college sweetheart Neal Boyle, who joined the family business and later took the helm of the growing company. When Neal suddenly died of a heart attack in 1970, Gert enlisted help from Tim, then a college senior. After that, it wasn't long before business really started to take off. Columbia was one of the first companies to make jackets from waterproof/breathable fabric. They introduced the breakthrough technology called the Columbia Interchange System, in which a shell and liner combine for multiple wearing options. In the early 1980s, then 60-year-old Gert began her role as "Mother Boyle" in Columbia's successful and popular advertising campaign.
The company went public in 1998 and moved into a new era as a world leader in the active outdoor apparel industry. Today, Columbia Sportswear employs more than 1,800 people around the world and distributes and sells products in more than 50 countries and to more than 12,000 retailers internationally.

decieving description,
This review is from: Columbia Sun Basin First-Up Gazebo Screen House (Sports)
This is not an easy up unit it has to be put together every time.Putting the top on takes at least 2 people 10 minutes.The pictures show the top on the frame which is not the case. This same unit can be bought at Kmart or Target for half the money. If you are lokking for an easy up shade house look elsewhere.

Thumbs up,
This review is from: Columbia Sun Basin First-Up Gazebo Screen House (Sports)
I purchased this unit as a semi-permanent screened porch to put behind my house. I looked around quite a bit for similar products, but thought this looked like the best choice. So far I have had it 2 weeks, and I think it is excellent.
The frame is sturdy and easy to set up. You really need two people to set it up (although I managed to do it alone with a little extra effort). The frame has several settings for height, so you can control how far the screen hangs down. The screen does not attach to the ground but can be tightly fitted around the frame to provide good coverage. It is true that the roof isn't attached, but I don't understand why this is an issue. It doesn't add any difficulty in setup, and I think an attached roof would complicate disassembly and storage. My unit has been through one rainstorm and has stood up well. But I haven't really had it long enough to comment on durability. The price is very reasonable for what you receive, and free shipping from Amazon is the way to go (other places charge you $60 for shipping). The unit is pretty heavy, which may make it a little inconvenient for camping or the like. My only complaint is that it is only available in green. I would have chosen a different color if I could have. Although I have never owned a competing product, I can't imagine that any of them would be better.

Good while it lasted,
This review is from: Columbia Sun Basin First-Up Gazebo Screen House (Sports)
This item was good while it worked... We bought it for camping, as a bug-free dining room. The setup wasn't too hard, but you do need two people to set it up. I also thought the roof material was attached to the frame as it showed in the description, but no such luck. However... we set this screenhouse up on our back deck for use at a cookout. Fortunately the rain came after the party was over. We had the guy lines staked out off of the deck, pulling the roof taught so any rain would run off, but it didn't. It stretched the roof material into these little pockets which hung down inside of the frame and the whole frame collapsed. I'm fortunate that noone was in it at the time. It is bent and mangled beyond and repair. I have contacted the company, but based on other reviews, I don't expect much help from their customer service. I won't buy this again.
