We looked like the keystone kops trying to put this thing together the first time.

Used it once. It worked well except on windy beaches where it was a challenge setting up. Once it was up and secure, it worked great.

Definitely not for 4 adults. Probably good for 4 little kids. Very hard to put together in the wind but was sturdy with 2 chairs inside.

Bought this for my Hawaii trip and out of a week, i used it once. If its to windy on the beach, this tent won't stand a chance, even if there are heavy items in it on every corner and it's pinned down into the sand on every corner. Great for shade in non windy weather.
