I needed something that would protect me and my dog from the sun at monthly events. I wasn’t looking for something so heavy duty I could use it in 40 mph winds, but I wanted something put together well enough that, treated with care, it should last a while. After obsessively studying Amazon’s offerings for pop up tents I decided on this one, and was not disappointed. There weren’t that many reviews but they were all good, and the weight of around 25 pounds made me think I could handle transport and assembly/disassembly myself (I’m a short but reasonably strong and agile 70 yo woman who’s comfortable with constructing things). I was not disappointed. I did a dry run in our parking garage, including putting on the canopy. It’s basically like a very large folding umbrella. I took my time to understand how it worked, and once I did, assembly and disassembly were quite easy. Once I had it down (leaving the canopy on), I put it in the carrying bag. It fit snuggly but not so tight it was difficult to get it in the bag and zip it. The bag is about an inch too long to lay flat between the wheel wells of my Outback cargo area but easily fits everywhere else.All in all I’m very impressed with the tent. It’s well designed and carefully manufactured, and operates smoothly; the fabric is fairly light but not flimsy; and it can definitely be handled by one person. I didn’t use the included ropes or stakes, but be prepared that the included stakes are quite thin metal, so if you wanted to use it for breezier conditions such as wide open areas like beaches you might want to use ones that we’re longer and stronger. Then again, this isn’t a tent meant for gale force winds, but used appropriately it’s definitely a winner. The same company makes A 10’ one with straight legs so that the canopy is 10’x10’ (canopy on this one is 8’x8’). Now that I see the quality if I decide I’d also like something larger I’d feel confident ordering that one as well.
