What reviewers didn't like

Meshed sidewalls only, so vulnerable to sweeping wind and rain.
Low-quality top
During testing, we found a flaw but it is hardly a deal breaker. If you are caught in the rain, the seams will allow the water inside. It is not waterproof.
This shelter isn't meant to be left up in a heavy rain. If water starts to pool on the roof, creating excess weight, it can damage the frame, especially if the wind gets blowing.
