I loved this thing. I was always asked where I got it and how much it cost me. People were always impressed, as was I. It brought a new ambiance to my 2nd floor rooftop patio. Size was correct (10x10, I see other reviews where the smaller one is inaccurate), easy to assemble. Some of the Velcro didn't line up perfect, but it didn't affect much. Never had an issue with water leakage. So not being able to stake this in, I relied on the sand bags. I will say most of these split at the seams in a short amount of time, so next time around I would reinforce the sand inside with a plastic bag. I also knew the risk of any wind, so I would stalk the weather and simply remove the roof any time the wind would be more than 11-12mph. Constant success, great deal, couldn't be happier. *HOWEVER* One time, ONE TIME!....the wind got the best of me. I stalked the weather app up to the end of the day, which is 6am. Felt good about it. Didn't feel the need to look at the following day yet, therefore didn't know there was a huge front coming in at 7-8, and woke up to a slightly mangled canopy with 2 broken legs. (I really was just happy to find it hadn't taken off to reign terror on the street below.) I duct taped the 2 bent legs to keep it standing properly, and it held up the rest of the season. However, when I went to collapse it in the fall, it would not budge. It could have been due to the duct tape, but visually it didn't seem to be affecting anything. Eventually we had to break it into pieces to get it off of my patio. Also, if it matters, the sun will fade it over time....but that is to be expected in constant direct sun. All of this said, I still want to buy another, and keep checking to see if it's back in stock. You have to know the weather conditions you're up against with anything like this and your environment - it's portable, it's like holding a giant umbrella in wind. Calm down with these overly criticizing reviews! Update: The following year I purchased the same brand, same size canopy - just the version without the netting, as I still had mine from the first one I bought. It definitely did not line up as well on the legs, which ended up tearing some of the Velcro ties irreparably. These legs seemed to angle out further than the first one that came with the netting, which I found kind of odd. But with no structural damage at the end of the season, it collapsed beautifully for me doing it alone. This time around I also used half cinder blocks to secure the legs instead of sand bags, which worked much better with wind. I didn't have to start worrying until wind was to exceed around 20mph.
