yea the stakes are no bueno

Did not stay anchored in the sand. Windy days are a no go.

Needs a window for air to escape otherwise you’re fighting the wind the whole time! Also you lay on a tarp style material, it’s not very comfortable

It’s horrible in the wind. I was trying to set it up alone for my 8 month old to be out of the sun on a beach day with my kids. The wind kept catching it and pulling the stakes out. Longer or corkscrew stakes, or better yet sand bag corners? Vents in the back so the wind doesn’t catch it like a sail?

It is not water resistant. The connecting part (now sure how you call it) kept dripping the water.

It is difficult to take down and doesn't provide as much shade as I was hoping for.

Super tedious to put up if you are solo with a baby. Did not have vents for wind gusts, so tent jerked and seemed like it might fly away if I wasn’t holding on to it. It did shade us from the sun but since there were no vents it was a sweat box. Ultimately returned it.

Shelter worked fine, but when we got to our destination and opened it up it was clearly already used and then returned. Very disappointing that Target would put something in such condition back on the shelves without a deep discount. No directions included, which based on the Q&A appears to be a regular issue, and we have no idea if we have all the parts, but it was enough parts to use it.

Good: easy set up, takes only minutes. Annoying:Flap doesnt zip all the way. not gonna keep stuff dry in pop up storm Bad: Main pole cracked after a few uses. not bad, not great.
