I love this pop up tent...but I hate folding it up to put away! Its very easy to open, you literally unfold it and it pops right into place. Its perfect for any outdoor occasion-picnics, beaches, parks...Im actually using it in my yard to allow me to lay out but be protected from golf balls hitting me (I live on a golf course). It makes a great barrier for sand, wet grass, etc. I like the included "window" you can zip open or closed. And its extremely lightweight -easy to carry with you. But folding this thing to put away is a nightmare! It takes a lot of practice to learn how to fold. If you can figure out how to fold it, youre gonna love it!
