1 out of 5 stars Not nearly sturdy enough   July 30, 2008
A. Tampone (Kingston, NY)
I've had this canopy for just over a year. When I first got it I thought it was great. I had it up through a few heavy rainfalls and it held up great making me think it was quite sturdy. Then while at a car show that was mildly windy the weakness in the design became readily apparent. The sides of the canopy's structure has no lateral strength, this caused the small vertical area of the canopy to fold inwards at the slightest amount of wind. Once this bent in the whole canopy looses its strength. This canopy has been reduced to pretty much junk after one breezy day. I've seen other designs that have significantly thicker joints to provide better lateral support. This particular unit is not worth even buying.


5 out of 5 stars Just what I wanted   June 10, 2008
Stephanie Stoecker (KC, MO)
This canopy was exactly what they advertied. It was delivered quickly and on time. It is easy to put up and take down esp. during heavy winds. I love the convienence and portability.


3 out of 5 stars Fast setup, poor structure design, good customer support   June 6, 2008
D. Mentzer
I bought mine last year and used it twice. The first time I used it this year was for a yard sale. A rain storm started so we went inside. When we came back outside, the Quik Shade had collapsed. 4 snapped scissor supports, 1 snapped leg, a ripped canopy top, and 4 cracked scissor connectors.
I emailed customer support and attached photos of the "disaster" and they said the Quik Shade was designed for shade only and not for storms so the warranty would not cover it. They still agreed to send me the replacement parts to repair it as a one time courtesy.

Final review: Great for the shade, not built for weather. Take it down when a wind or rain storm starts.



3 out of 5 stars Super easy to mount   May 28, 2008
K. N. Nelson (California, USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I like this tent a lot. It is easy to mount, and sturdy. The only problem is the white sidewall screening which blocks vision of the night sky. I really, really wish they offered dark screening instead, because I feel does a better job overall and doesn't block the view as much even in full daylight. Also, the screen tears very easily, so be careful with sharp objects and jagged corners of chairs, tables or pets or other wild critters who like to climb screens just for the fun of it.


5 out of 5 stars Great for outdoor events   April 16, 2008
Lanette Roi
We used this canopy for a fair that we distributed products at. It was easy to put up and to break down. It was not very heavy and fairly sturdy. I would recommend it for other small businesses that need a little shelter for outdoor events.
