Best Choice Products 10x10ft Pop Up Canopy Tent, Outdoor Shade, 1 Person 1 Minute Set Up, Carry Case, 4 Weight Bags - Black

I am not one to write a lot of reviews, but I do make the time when I really feel others might benefit. We’ve been putting off getting an outdoor canopy for a couple of years now. We have a large umbrella that we use on our patio, and unless it rains, it’s enough to shade the sun while we eat. However, we’ve been going to more outdoor events with our children and grandchildren, and recently started selling at flea markets. Yesterday we used it for the first time at a vintage flea market, and I cannot believe we waited so long. When you open it for the first time you will be amazed at what the 10x10 size gives you. We were able to put our 8” table, 2 chairs for us to sit, and all the products we were selling easily within, and still had plenty of room for our customers. Best of all, we had more customers coming to our booth because it was cooler underneath than anyone else’s. We also had a surprise rain shower, a downpour actually, and not a drop came in through the canopy above. There were other canopies and umbrellas at the show but none to equal. At closing, my husband was talking with someone with a similar canopy, who was putting it away and I noticed the material was not as strong as ours, and the metal used seemed more flimsy. It has a similar setup, but just appeared and seemed to be less sturdy overall. We also didn’t open it before the show yesterday, and I was nervous about doing it “live” in case we had issues, but it is literally as easy as it says; I previously watched the video and it works as advertised. When we were done, I told my husband I wanted to try putting it away myself, in case I do a show on my own, and it was so amazing and easy to do, and this is coming from a 71 year old grandmother. I’m sure I won’t be able to do it in 60 seconds, but now I know I can do it alone in about 5 minutes. I do read reviews before I purchase and I saw some negative reviews, something about the poles, but I would say as long as you open and close it properly, they are definitely quite strong and should hold up for many years. I did decide to get separate weights for the 4 poles (40 pounds total), as I thought it might be quicker than using the 4 stakes, and it worked really well. But I’m sure the stakes would have done equally well. I ordered the weights that I found on the same page as this item, and they were so easy and quick to use. Between the price, the quality, and the functionality, it’s a definite win for us.

I have owned several canopies. This one seems great so far. I can put it up & take it down by myself. (And I’m a senior)! Appears to be durable.

Im disabled some canopies are overly heavy, need multiple people to put them up/take them down, or are overly complicated. This canopy was easy to unpack, put up, was sturdy for a weekend event, easy to take down and pack away by myself without any help. Everyone asked me where I got it knowing I usually struggle and beg for help

We had this for about a year. It is very easy to put up. Once you get the hang of it, one person can put it up and take it down in about a minute, assuming you leave the canopy attached. We used it regularly at the park and beach with only positive experiences. The canopy stayed in good condition. It is a bit heavy. The wheels on the case help, but you really have to muscle it along. (It works best if you have a wagon to transport, especially off-road.) The case was good quality and durable. Unfortunately, one ill timed gust at the park sent it tumbling across the grass and snapped a leg right off. Now it’s a heap of twisted and tangled metal sitting by the dumpster at the park. We will likely replace ours with the same model. I would still recommend this, but be sure to treat it gently and leave it at home on breezy days.

Color was vibrant. Easy to assemble.

I had to replace the canopy for someone who loaned it to us for our rainy wedding day. It broke due to being old and holding up rain all night The person who received the canopy uses them for a pumpkin patch and Christmas tree farm. They were satisfied and had their other one for a long time.

Excellent product. Very well made and easy to set up.

3 stars subject to change up or down. So yes easy to set up. In fact I did it solo based on a YouTube video. Very impressive. The cover roof goes on snugly and actually provides light rain protection. Enough to cook under and hang out. Not too many drips. It is NOT a water resistant or waterproof covering it’s for sun protection but it worked in light rain. The problem is lots of plastic parts and you can see the cover isn’t going to go the distance I hope if the frame does hold up we can order a cover. Look it sets up easy it’s heavy so has substance it held up in light rain and wind. For the money Home run. If it falls apart and I get 2-3 summers I would buy another. I think it was $120! In this case what I paid for it I’m happy.

Used pop up canopy once. The cross members bent and the canopy ripped. The seller refused my request to return it because it was a few days passed the return date. Tried using Amazon's A to Z guarantee and they gave me the same response. Maybe they should call it A to A guarantee.
