   I am loving this tent. I grabbed it for the farmers market because in the early morning, it can be almost dark out, but at the same time, once the day starts going, it can be blinding and blistering out. It was definitely a two man set up. I had to have the help of my spouse or I would have never gotten set up on my own. It needs two people to go around in opposite corners to get it popped up and to get all the legs set up and clipped in place, and then all of them let back down. From bag to setup, though, can be done in under 10 minutes. The legs have clips on them that securely snap into place and I had absolutely no issues with clips coming loose or wiggling. The top part can be put on the four corners without latching the added hook and loop pieces so long as the weather is mild. I can strap it down more to be safe. We stood on opposite sides during set up and stretched it to capacity, then attached the tarp to the top. After that, we first took up the uppermost section and locked in place, then the second segment and locked in place, working opposite corners of each other. It would be hard with just one person. The instructions with this appear to be waterproof plastic, and sewn into the bag for the tent. I liked this because it means I will never loose them and can easily reference them, or if I lend it out, the instructions are ready to go. I did have an issue with the power button, though. While we were setting it up, the power button just popped out. We don’t know if there was a spring in it or not, but my spouse put it back in and it functions but I am wary of it now that it’s popped out on me. I would hate for it to come out while packing up a show or farmers market and we not notice it. The tent is quite stable and it’s a true 8 foot in the center. Once set up, the lip of the tent measures a little over 6 feet, which is great since most people average a bit under that. Anyone taller would have to duck a bit, but for the most part, the tent is just to keep us cool behind the table and there isn’t much room for customers to be under it constantly, anyway. As far as room, I could easily see fitting six to nine chairs under the tent comfortably, and possible expansion for up to twelve if needed for an event. We plan to use this some in the back yard, too with the LED lights. I especially love that they change colors. It sounds silly, but when I change the colors, it draws more attention to my tent and what’s going on. The battery bank has been lasting 3-5 hours, although I don’t know if it will continue to do so over time. I appreciate that it has a battery indicator light(s) on it so I know how long is left approximately. It charges with an USB so I can plug it in in the car on the way to trips or on the way home to make sure it’s charged up. It also lets me plug in a usb for my phone if I want to draw extra power back off of it, which is an added advantage when we set up at markets. The only downside for me was two man set up, I found a grommet in the bag, and the power button popping off. It came with all necessarily equipment including charging equipment, and plenty of spikes to stake it down if we need to. I can also take cinder blocks to put the legs in and they fit perfectly down into block with how they are designed. The bag to carry it was well thought out, too. It has wheels so it can be wheeled by even a less strong person, and the bag expands so once you take it all out and go to put it up, it doesn’t take so much work to pack it back up. There’s actually left over room in the bag, unlike so many tents I’ve used in the past. It’s a solid product and I think it’ll be with me for years to come. It’s heavy, and requires help to set up, but I’m a smaller woman. The LED’s are a true highlight. It’s so much fun switching out the colors and changing the lights up. The large space is perfect for when we want to set citronella candles underneath or nearby, too. It’s up high enough that a small bucket candle is no harm to the material being 8 feet up, and it’s spacious so we can all be under it without crowded each other. For what it is, the value is not the best, but for a quality product it is worth the added extras and solid construction. It’s comparable to others out there on the market. It doesn’t have side panels, but I bet I could work something out or buy an aftermarket item to fix that later on if we decided we need it for markets. I think this would be a task to take on a hiking camp trip, but for a drive up site this would be awesome to have. I added some photos of us having fun setting it up for the first time.

   The lights are awesome!!! I was worried about how it would hold up in a rain storm. I researched a lot of other shelters prior to making this purchase. Went camping recently and there was a totally dry square after it rained all afternoon and into the evening. 4 people were able to stay under it around dinner time and stay dry and play cards. Would highly recommend.

   I took my OneSource Canopy on a camping trip. Since this considered outdoor equipment, you would expect it be able to be rugged and handle the elements. During the first night, we got 15mph winds. All 4 sides were staked down with heavy duty stakes. The canopy blew away and one of the truss beams snapped in half. No tents or other canopies at my campsite had any issues. I contacted Coleman to purchase a replacement part, but they do not have any available. I do not want to waste more $$$ on a product that cannot be easily repaired.
