I ordered the large, 15' screen tent, primarily for outdoor movies with the grandkids; it's huge, and I Love it! It is incredibly sturdy for a pop-up tent; roomy enough for many chairs, takes less than a minute to set up and a few minutes more to stake it.One important caution, at least for the large size - as many noted, it springs open fast and hard. It comes collapsed and twisted into a circular shape, held closed by a strap. Though we were trying to be careful as warned, we didn't immediately see why it didn't release - so I bent down close & leaned forward to see why the fastening wasn't releasing - and in that second, it released. I'm 5'4", 155 lbs, and the opening force actually knocked me completely off the ground, up into the air, pushing & throwing me hard onto my back about 6' away from where I was standing. I ended up sore the next day, but not really hurt; my daughter and I laughed about it; she said i looked like a cartoon! - but I was seriously lucky that I struck my head and back on soft grass; so please be careful; and if you plan to use this wonderful tent on a concrete patio - you might consider letting it spring open on a soft grassy area, moving it onto the harder surface after it opens. It opens explosively hard, but it is lightweight and moves super easy! Another caution - make sure the kids are far enough away.The tent collapses easily and take-down, including folding the panels back together, takes less than a minute. I only gave one half-hearted, failed attempt to twist it back into the circle shape; I'm 70, and the supports are a bit too strong for me to easily twist - and I didn't really want a repeat of my opening 'ride' - so I'm storing it simply folded, in the garage, which is easy and works great.I do love the tent!! We will get lots of use from it, and I eventually plan to order a second, since our family is large and we love movie nights! Great product!!

I purchased the 10x10 screened tent. I was waiting for the other named brand that starts with an A to go on sale and came across this alternative. It looked just like that other brand, just cheaper. Actually, it's now $10 less than when I bought it not long ago. I watched many YouTube videos on how to put it up/take it down, fold and store in the bag. It's simple and fast to do. It came with stakes, bags to hold sand or whatever you care to use for weight. We used 5lb weight plates in each bag. There are plastic hooks inside at the top to hang things. There are several cords top and bottom to tie off. The zipper works good. There is decent air flow, but it is a little warmer inside with it zipped close. You can put the entrance screen up, but that would allow the flying creatures in. It does a great job keeping the flying bugs out! You van see pretty well through the screens. It can take some wind if you tie it off and weigh it down. It helps with glare to read your tablet during the day. I really only have positive things to say about it! My best advice is if you're thinking about buying it, get it! We use ours on our deck. I'm actually sitting in it right now writing this review.

Wanted an outdoor space for me and my cats to get some fresh air, something easy to assemble for just this disabled individual to handle, and this fits the bill! When opening have a clear space and just throw it a distance away and let it pop up. Stand it up, then unfold each panel until it stands on its own. Flip the bottom material and secure down and it's good to go. It comes with every from an iffy strength carrying bag, good ground stakes, all the guidelines and several medium quality bags to fill with sand, or rocks in my case. It's very breathable but keeps the bugs and a portion of the sun away. My one issue with it is when it rains, the solid top fills with water and it kinda sags down a little, but I just dump the water off the top and it pops right back into place. I haven't taken it down yet but I don't imagine it will be too difficult, just follow the directions. 10 out of 10 would recommend

It is a good canopy tent for shade and it keeps the bugs out. I put on a concrete pad with some patio furniture in it by the water. Has held up good so far. Just make sure you do all the tie downs at the top separate from the bottom ones. A few of the tie ropes came out of the top however it wasn’t that big of an issue. I put it through the hole where the plastic piece was and tied it back in. It was easy to set up and is great for a shaded seating area!

This is a great tent for Fall Festivals or kids sporting events. It was also great for sunset date nights, because it protected us from mosquitos & other insects. It is super easy to set up and pack away. I can easily carry it in one hand using the carrying bag & it fits in the rear of my Mini Cooper Clubman.It had enough room for 4 chairs and a small folding table.It does not provide much cover from the sun & can get warm inside on Summer days, but I really like it

We have a 4-wall gazebo screen room we use to keep the wasps out when we are camping. But this one is SO much easier to set up! Expands in seconds and it looks like it will go around any picnic table and still leave elbow room. (12' x 12') Just as we want. To set up, just for one night if you're on a long trip, its perfect. The quality is great with nice operating zippers, and bottom folds to contour to the ground for the pesky wasps and such. I didn't realize it had a waterproof ceiling panel, but that's just a bonus. It should keep out a light sprinkle, but we haven't had it out in the rain yet to try it. It will keep the sun off, however.

I have one of those telescopic rod canopies that takes such a long time to open and close. I bought this for fast open and close(12 x 12), and it didn't let me down. Very generous space and high ceiling. Zipper is easy to use and it's made strong. No comment on durability though, since I just got it.
