I bought the silver-ish tent and used it July '09 for protection from the sun on the beach -- it worked great, but note that it's not as high an open entrance as the advertised photo seems to show...I'm 5'5" and I had to duck down low to get inside; also, low opening impedes some view but likely provides more sun protection. My low-to-the-ground lounge chair worked great inside, but there's really only enough room for max. 2 adults comfortably. One person, perfect. Watch out for windy days -- 4 provided ground stakes and attached yellow sand pockets on bottom of both sides really come in handy. The fact you can zip the front door closed is a plus if you want to change your clothes or for camping. All in all a great tent, easy to set up and take down -- you'll need to watch the video link which, for some reason, isn't included in the Amazon ad but, rather, is sent along with the product (VIDEO LINK SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE AMAZON AD).

This tent is so easy to use. I watched the video to practice folding it back up before I used it and it is so simple. Great for our family at the beach.

I got this tent with some caution because I am not likely the type of person that will go to the beach to lay down in a tent, but since this was the first time that my 2 year old was going to the beach, I decided to make the experience as comfortable as possible for him. Since I am dont know much about camping, I decided to get a pop up tent that will be easy to assemble and easy to pack. This tent fulfill my requirements and now my son even want it to have it open in the backyard so he can play there.
Truly a great and fun item to have, for a fund day outdoor.

Used this tent in FL on vacation with a baby in tow. We were able to take him out even during nap time because of the tent. We had practiced closing the tent however on the last day it would not fold up - have not been able to get back in to small bag since so we got a bigger bag - still love the tent - the kids think it is fun - was a lifesaver at the beach! To anchor at the beach - put sand in the side pouches of the tent.

I bought this with great trepidation. I was afraid this would be a nightmare to close up - as all "pop up" items seem to be, and I was right. The pictures on the "instruction sheet" were of no help and the video link they mention doesn't exist on youtube!!! I have no clue how to fold this thing up back in to the nice, little circular bag from whence it came. Is there another video somewhere? When open, it seems to be ok -- though you will need to purchase tent stakes. The windy beach would make this tent an $80 kite in no time. If the video were accessible to show how to close this sucker, then I might give this 4-stars.

Overall: Product worked well even on a slightly windy day at the beach. The tent is easy to pop up but recommend you practice collapsing it before using in public! Pretty funny when you don't know what you're doing!
Size: Can fit two adults pretty comfortably.
Quality: The material could be thicker/sturdier. I am afraid that the carrying bag will rip easily as the material is very thin.
Value: I think the price was a bit high for the quality.
Vendor: Sunny Trading was very good to work with. They made some shipping adjustments for me without hesitation.

This tent was easy to set up, sturdy in the wind on the beach. My daughter loved playing in it and the windows. Taking it down was a little tough. I did once at home before we left. It took 4 tries at the beach. I suggest trying it a few times after watching the video. We will use it again and even in the back yard. I am glad I bought it.

I tried folding this at home and it was no problem, but do it on a windy beach and it's impossible. We also had all of the loops for the stakes come detatched from the tent before we could even put the stakes in the ground. I returned it.

I do not understand why one end of my tent is curved outwards and looks like a boot, plus my first attempt to anchor the tent in the sand on the beach one of the straps burst. Do I have to settle for this?

Easy to setup in seconds, easy to take down and take home.

Use filled ziplock bags for the side pockets to make things faster and cleaner.

Zippers are a bit delicate, but you get what you pay for. I would buy again.
