I purchased this item for the up coming summer. I used it once and found it very easy to set up and to take down. The bag is of good quality and the wheels make it easy to move. I can't find anything wrong with this item and would recommend this if you're looking for a good canopy. The price was right along with the free shipping....Thanks...

We do a neighborhood yard sale once a year, and invariably it rains. I bought this tent to ensure that it will never rain again.

I have used it once so far, and it's quite nice. It really requires two people to set up, you have to keep stretching out the corners until all four are fully extended. The canvas is attached securely to the rafters using several velcro straps attached to the canvas.

We set it up on level grass, and the poles each have a hole at the bottom to insert the included stakes. It was rather windy, but the tent held up nicely.

The whole setup is pretty heavy, but the storage bag that is included is very nice, with wheels so you can pull it instead of carrying. We didn't have any difficulty taking the tent down, and almost none stuffing it back into the bag. The canvas took some stuffing, but we were able to zip it all back up. Next time I will try to wrap the folded canvas around the folded frame, that should fit better in the bag.

I am extremely disappointed in this canopy. I used it 3 times and the last time a storm blew in and bent the poles so it is now unusable. The company will not be held responsible for the shoddy materials and I now have a canopy that is 2 feet tall due to the bent poles!!! A horrible waste of money.

This canopy expands to the size and shape indicated but amazingly compresses down to fit in my Honda Insight. It was a bit of a challenge to set it up myself but I was able to in about 10 minutes.
