3.0 out of 5 stars Not big enough, January 23, 2009

If you are going to sit in the sand or you want it for a baby, then it might be really good for you. It does pop-up in a nanosecond and it is light as a feather. I had it out in heavy wind and it leaned like it was going to collapse, but it didn't. And everyone on the beach loved it!

BUT, it just is not very big. If you are in a beach chair and you are tall, you will not like it---it is a tent so it pyramids at the top and id you sit in a beach chair you'll be near or at the top and you have plastic on either side of your head and a roof. If you sit in the sand, it's big enough, but only for one. And no matter what, your feet will stick out, so if it's windy, they will get cold.

Also, I still don't know how to fold it up, but if you go to the website there is a simple looking utube of it, but I have not been able to do the last part. Folding in half is easy enough, but swirling it has eluded me. I tried to get someone to help me and he could not do it either. The funny thing is that I saw someone with it on the beach and he couldn't get it to fold either, so you end up dragging this big thing which you can only fold in half and that ends up being maybe 4 feet by 2 feet (I'm guessing but it's too big to do easily). I've only used mine once---between filling it with sand and trying to get it to the beach, since it won't fold to a reasonable size, it's just too much trouble.

If you have a baby, I would think it would be worth the trouble, and A LOT nicer than the tents that have the wires which I see on the beach, because it really does pop up---no assembly at all.

This thing is great for a baby shade, which is what we purchased it for. (Taking our 4 1/2 mo. son to the beach) However, unless you are a family of hobbits, do not expect to put the fam, or anything more than 1 "regular" person, under it. It pops right open, but is slightly more difficult to put away-- still do-able, but the directions are rather useless, though there is a video clip that is slightly better. The stakes are also useless, and who wants to fill the pockets with sand, then put the thing back in your car (w/ all that sand)? Better to keep some extra water bottles (filled) and place them in the pockets (rocks would work too, but I fear they would rip the pockets after a while?). Get a good gust of wind, and whoosh! watch out! but generally good for the "average" beach day. However, you can sit and smile while others on the beach struggle to put poles in their beach tents and spend at least 15 min assembling and taking down their structures, while yours goes up in under 1 min. Durability? Hmmm... seems a little on the flimsy side, but for the price, I didn't really expect it to last us more than one summer (we go to the beach weekly or bi-weekely May-Oct).

We used this at the beach and when we put sand in the pockets, it withstood some serious wind! Just make sure to position the shelter with the paneled side going into the wind and it will be very stable. The winds were from Tropical Storm Fay and umbrellas were tumbling down the sand while I was nice and comfy under my shade in my beach chair.
