Piece of crap. Broke the first time I used it, because of wind. Weak plastic connectors and stake lines. Can't handle moderate wind.

Pros

Pretty good design, function, and setup

Cons

Weak parts, can't handle wind.

Can't handle wind.

Source: bought it new

Great sun/rain shade. Easy to set up and holds up to wind/sun/rain well. The center guy lines are needed to be attached (does not come with the shelter)in order to keep rain from collecting. Definitely recommended.

Ease of Setup: Very easy.
Weight: About 13 pounds
Price Paid: $100
