I can't begin to express how pleased I am with this canopy. I bought it at the last minute and brought it to the venue still in the shipping box. I trusted that all the parts would be there and the instructions would make sense. I prayed it would be tall enough for people to walk under.Let me get right to the point: It was easy to set up. It was sturdy. It was one of the tallest canopies there with plenty of room at the edges. It was everything I wanted and it proved that it was worth every penny when, after a few hours of sitting under it there was a crack of thunder and the heavens broke loose. Rain, wind, hail, flood, the works. Other canopies were catching rain and hail, sagging, leaning, and collapsing. People were trying to get the captured water out but when they did so they soaked everything underneath, including themselves.It was quite a baptism. I was so thrilled with how our canopy performed that I wanted to order another one right away (not that I need another one).I don't know what possessed me to get the yellow & white stripe top, by the way, but it turned out to be a great idea. It was the only one there and so our canopy was easy to find!I'd give this canopy more stars if I could!
