This product arrived about a month prior to its first use. The quality is great and it will last a long time if you take care of it. Spend the little bit of extra money and get this one. When we go to the beach we plan on staying for the day so as the sun moves, we simply pick the canopy up and turn the sunscreen to the side where the sun is now at instead of moving the screen every time.All of our friends love this canopy and we’ve watched them go thru multiple cheap ones while we continued to use the same one. It makes the entire covered portion usable instead of having the sun intrude on one side. During extremely rough winds we occasionally use the supplied, preattached ropes to anchor it to our cooler carrying handle, just to be safe.I highly recommend getting the optional sunscreen that covers one side. We have watched many other types of canopies be flipped and ours will still be standing strong. We set it up at its tallest setting, there are 3 settings, and then use our feet to dig about 6 inches into the sand, we then place the legs in those holes and push the sand back over them. The sudden gusts of wind will lift the others and destroy them while this one remains standing. If you simply spray it down with freshwater after each use, it will last a long time.This canopy, unlike the cheaper ones has a wind vent at the top that is a must when you are using it at the beach. I will say it’s imperative that you spray this off after every use as sand will make the slides and locks inoperable after only a few uses if you don’t. The cheaper ones are no where near as sturdy as this one and just don’t hold up to the wind, sun and salt. This is extremely easy to setup with at least 2 people. It does include carrying straps on the bag. Most average people can easily toss it on their shoulder for the final trek thru the sand. Those wheels are of course almost useless on the loose sand but great for moving it to and from the vehicle and parking lots. It is heavier than the offbrand canopies but comes with a carrying case that has wheels to make it easier to transport. It arrived this week in perfect condition.Now for the actual product review. Before the end of the day, Coleman customer service had agreed to send an entire replacement, at no additional cost, to me. Within an hour, I had a response asking for a bit more details and my purchase receipt. I emailed Coleman customer service the following morning. I took a couple photos of the imperfection while we were at the beach. It wasn’t something that would make it unusable, just something that would have diminished its total lifespan.This is where I was truly impressed. Upon putting it up at the beach the first time I noticed a slight imperfection in the canopy itself. So, we had to order another one to replace that one.It arrived and appeared fine, just as you would expect. Unfortunately, Hurricane Sally destroyed that one shortly after we bought it(it wasn’t assembled at the time, just in a storage shed) along with many other things we owned. When it finally got old we loved it so much we ordered another one.

The first one lasted several years after much abuse by sun and salt at the beach.
