Really easy to set up, but I accidentally put the tarp on upside down. A few days later a microburst hit. Only lost one hook, stakes held up. All still in one piece and still usable after that, worth the price!
I purchased two of these canopies for periodic events I host through the year. However, when trying to assemble one of the canopies, the poles would not stay together. The tension pins would not keep the poles from popping out of the corresponding pole. I tried to return the canopies, and ended up being asked all sorts of questions by someone who told me that I would have to pay $20 shipping, plus a 15% restocking fee. AND that I would need to "remind the factory about the refund because they can be too busy and forget." So she offered a 10% credit (oooh, a whole $6) if I would just keep them. I gave up and took the $6 offer, and intend to sell these on Craigslist. DO NOT BUY. They are flimsy, unless you don't mind using additional tape/pins/glue to hold them together. And beware customer service.

Haven't used tent yet, but price and delivery were 10 stars.
