Purchased this to take to our home in Costa Rica to try out at the beach. Wow! Super impressed with how easy it was to "pop open", fill the sides with a little bit of sand and stake the 4 areas on the blanket in the front! It look us all of 30 seconds. Folding it back up was just as easy (however, keep in mind that I also own a spray tan tent that folds up exactly the same way this one does, so I'm totally used to this style). We loved this one so much that we ordered another one! The size is perfect for 2 people, but we normally have about 8-10 guests come stay at our house with us, so we wanted one for a couple of people to rotate getting in and out of the sun and one to lay all of our food and drinks on. Highly recommend this product!!

This tent is a great size for two average sized adults. Even better for one! The back portion is all mesh allowing for extra breathability. The tent also offers a nice amount of privacy. We specifically got it for beach use, so we wouldn't have to be in the sun and get too hot the entire day. It helped us out very much! I am buying 2 more for family members. It is EASY to set up. It just pops open. You can secure it to the ground with metal stakes that are provided. Folding it back up wasn't as tricky as we thought either. It is VERY lightweight to carry but I think the only thing this is missing is a shoulder strap. That would be an handy addition. If you aren't walking super far, it's very easy to carry though. Even for a child. Highly recommended!!!

We’ve loved using this little pop up shade tent to protect our little one while playing outside in the yard, at the park, etc. we haven’t had a chance to use it at the beach, but plan to in the future. It has stakes to help it stay in place if it’s windy. Only drawback so far is that it doesn’t allow much airflow at times so we have had to set up a fan if it’s really hot. It’s fold up easily, but you will need both hands to do that.

I was shopping for a portable generator tent and nearly keeled over at the prices of the custom fit models! Perusing the various tents, I cam across this particulat popup. The size was right and the popup convenience appealed to me, so I took the plunge. The tent is perfect for my Champion 3500w sized generator- I put some spare cardboard on the floor to catch any oil or gas spills and it served me well, keeping it out of the sun as well as rain. Considering it's intended use, I would guess it to be on the smallish side for most people, but it would be a fun and portable tent for small children if you aren't looking to spoil your own generator!

This is a very nice and light pop up shelter. It was so easy to setup, even in windy conditions on the beach! The stakes were predictably useless in the sand, which made the sandbag pouches ingenious! It pops in a second. All you have to do is catch it before it flies off and fill the sandbags. I only wish it were little bigger and longer. Definitely not for more than 2 adults, especially larger adults, unless you like to get cozy. Otherwise, this is a pretty cool device. It took a minute to figure out how to pack it, but it does pack down pretty easily.

Perfect personal popup canopy. Takes a little practice to fold for storage, but a few online videos solved my questions. If laying down the canopy covers your head to your waist leaving your lower half exposed. I suppose if you get in the fetal position you could have full shade coverage. I use it for shoreline finshing on lakes or beaches to louge until something bites. So far the material has held up, blocks the sun and works like a charm. Very convenient product at a competitve price :)

LOVE it. Good price too. Pops right open! Only issue is that it’s IMPOSSIBLE for me to fold back up after use My friend couldn’t even figure it out I had to find someone else to do it And it took him a long time to figure out (he’s an engineer!) I wish folding it was easier Because I really really like this product, I still gave it 5 stars

I got this for the grandkids for the backyard. It's big enough for all 3. I did not want a whole tent, but they put a sheet over it and let it hang down to close it off if they want. It's easier to put away than a tent and they still have the fun of an enclosed space that's all their own.

This was exactly what we needed for a beach trip with small children. I love the vent in the back and the height of it is perfect- you don't feel like you're blocking ppls view but you can sit on your knees inside comfortably. I personally had no major issues folding it up, a little more difficult than the sun shade for my car, and I had to do it bc my husband was like "no way, not going to try" - but I managed to get it somehow. We used it 3 times in one trip, the folded size was perfect. It seems sturdy enough for the price. Very happy.

My family has used this twice so far - at Carmel beach and at Crissy field. It folds/twists and pops up similar to those car windshield covers. It's super light (my purse is heavier) so we just leave it in the car for whenever we need it. When our friends saw it, they were so amazed - and even more blown away by the affordable price! They immediately asked us to "link them" so they could get their own as well. Wish I had a referral bonus, lol! Thanks, iCorer! It stays in place pretty well with the stakes included. For those saying it's hard to fold back up, the seller sends you links to 3 demo videos to help you figure it out.
