" ... just opened the box, post caps are broken on two of the legs. ... not able to set it up, cant find replacement plastic parts. ... "

" ... The canaopy itself is very nice, unfortunately the side piece was cracked and broken from the screws. ... "

" ... It was great until few hours later when the crazy Colorado wind gusts came, blew it away and two canopy legs got bent and pretty much snapped. ... "

" ... I waited to set up the canopy on the day of my event, to find out that one bracket was totally broke. ... "

" ... corner pole bent at bottom of upper adjustment can no longer use and no possibility of replacement unless you go to a metal fabrication specialist? ... "

" ... It does work but the bag is torn and the paint is worn off the feet and some hinges due to excessive use before I received it. ... "

" ... This tent is cheaply made. ... Three of its plastic connectors were broken when it came out of its box. ... It does not have any straps to secure it to the frame and only hooks to the corners of the frame with Velcro. ... "

" ... The leg of this snapped in half the very first time we used it. ... "

" ... Easy set up. ... "

" ... The quality is pretty good and it's easy to setup. ... "

" ... Two people setting up is a must for this - I have done setup myself and it certainly can be done but requires several circles of the unit shifting things a bit until one "clicks" and then the others follow pretty easily. ... "

" ... After we collapsed the tent, we tore the carrying case as we put it back in. ... "

" ... The metal was so flimsy that when the tent fell over while setting up, one of the legs just bent and snapped off. ... "

" ... Had it up for a few hours and the middle section of one of the bars bent inwards, making it collapse over. ... "

" ... Other canopies have velcro that you can lash down in 8 other locations. ... "

" ... The pins in two of the corners wouldn't come out. ... I actually sliced open my finger trying to get one of them out, and the metal pull ring broke off in doing so and I had to find someone with pliers to get the thing down. ... It is also VERY difficult to set up by yourself, only because the corners require a lot of force to get the pins into place. ... "

" ... Getting the corner pins into the holes is almost impossible. ... I have only used it 10 or 15 times and it fell apart where the crisscrosses are screwed together. ... Screws fell out in the grass and were never found so the tent is now useless to me. ... "

" ... It does not have any straps to secure it to the frame and only hooks to the corners of the frame with Velcro. ... "

" ... On the second trip, as we unfolded it, one of the pivot arms broke in half where it was drilled through for pivot bolt. ... "

" ... But extending to the second position was impossible without improvisation. ... I kept walking around in circles, lifting each leg a little, only to realize after 15 minutes of this that one leg would fall as soon as I lifted the contralateral one. ... "

" ... Within 2 hours, the tarp was already starting to wear at the points where the tarp was rubbing on the scissor parts of the frame. ... "

" ... Feels cheap and the legs snapped in a little bit of wind ... "

" ... It broke the first time I used it ... "

" ... However, it was stiff when trying to put it up for the first time. ... "

" ... Also I wish the strap was on top not on side because pulling the bag with strap on side was a little difficult. ... "

" ... It broke immediately. ... "

" ... I'd had that one for three or four years, and it had held up very well until it crumpled under the weight of a heavy, wet snow. ... "

" ... I'd prefer something not so "bright" like the blue color is, but I can live with it for now. ... "

" ... Such canopies, in my experience, end up being wrestling matches, but this one is solid, well made, and a great design. ... "

" ... They are both similar in design although I see now that the one from Academy has improved their design since we bought the other one. ... "

" ... 4 Stars: Works mostly as advertised, fit/finish are what you'd expect when purchasing this type of product, might have a minor flaw. ... "

" ... The material is really sturdy and tough. ... "

" ... Provides great shade. ... "

" ... Still not a bad deal for light duty. ... "

" ... The quality of the canopy compares favorably with some other light duty models that I've used with other brands, and it's cheap enough so that if I can get a few years out of it I'm ahead of the game. ... "
