I purchased this for pop-up markets and fairs. This is by far the best pop-up tent I've ever used. I have also fallen for the extended awning, which we need to keep the icing from melting on our cookies. With the seats folded down, I'm able to load this into a crossover through the center of the car. It's a little heavy but if you use the bag rollers properly you can get it to move the way you need it to. The walls, tops, and sand bags are durable and hold up in the weather. The only suggestion I have is to double check some of the zipper seams, particularly the entrance wall, some of the stitching in that section was a little off and would probably need to be restitched long-term.

The Good: it goes up easier than a comparable model EZ-UP and is a little less heavy so it's easier to carry and put up. The Bad: the shade extension is so poorly engineered that it will be useless in windy conditions and is really bulky and a pain to assemble/put up. With it being attached to the top via the support strap (which it needs to stick outright and not fall down), you really need to attach it before you put the canopy up, out of reach. If you put it up and end up needing to have shade later, you'll need to be very tall or lower it to put the shade extension on. The buttons on the leg to lower the canopy are so low, large and easy to push in that they attract the attention of children very easily. Who then can't resist pushing them, which brings part of the canopy down. Our first event with this canopy it happened, which is a first in years of events. So at the second event with it, I kept watch for that and had to warn two different kids during the day. Not good for business, a needless injury/product damage possibility and a pain. The velcro only wall attachments (no additional tie straps like many other canopies) are more susceptible to come undone in wind and will wear out, making that situation worse as they do. And the walls don't cover all the way to the ground!

This is the best pop up canopy we've owned. We've owned 3 over the years. Heavier material and the side panels sold it for my wife. I like that it's fairly heavy duty compared to the other lower cost brands we've had. Plus, we can order replacement parts for it, this really convinced the wife as it's always a bummer to throw something like this in the trash bin for a worn canopy or leg or strut bent beyond repair.

The strap on the awning was not sewn. The side of the tent has a mark that appears to be melted and thin approximately 2" long. See pictures. Emailed ABC Canopy with no results.

UPDATE (July 25, 2017): So, this weekend, we setup at a festival to vend coffee. The issue we were having with the canopy resolved itself when the mechanism that was stuck released and snapped into place. We also experienced about 3 inches of rain in a little more than an hour with high wind gusts up to 20mph at 3am. I've been camping for many years and never had the "pleasure" of being nailed by this much rain and wind, it was impressive to say the least. We have expensive equipment that is kept under the canopy and we felt completely secure that the canopy would be fine. When we assessed the situation at sunrise, other vendor setups and canopies were completely destroyed, while our ABC Canopy was perfect. I would recommend this canopy to everyone.

We bought this canopy about a month ago for immediate use for festival vending. Out of the box, one of the legs' push-buttons is jammed in (replacement part K, according to the company site), so it's impossible to lock the legs. Since we needed it for 3 days and had no other options, we were able to stick a peg into the hole to secure the leg position. We're not even sure how it would be possible to fix or replace this part, as it would require taking the entire thing apart, and frankly, I shouldn't have to do that. Shipping it back is not an option for us, either, since we've consistently needed to use it for back-to-back events (the next event is in 2 weeks).

Regarding the awning, we cannot figure it out and it's totally useless, sagging and drooping... if it were to rain, the water will pool, filling the awning, adding unnecessary weight and possibly falling on the heads of our customers, or destroying our product. We thought there must be some other parts we are missing, but aren't sure since there are no instructions for the awning.

As for the overall quality, we are fully impressed. It's heavyweight, looks great, and has handled some pretty tough wind and rain. While it can be cumbersome to zip the sides, once in place, we feel the canopy and the construction of the material are extremely secure. We have electric equipment that needs to be kept dry and this canopy didn't leak at all, despite two days of heavy rains. If the one leg lock wasn't defective, I would give it 5 stars, even despite the wonky awning. Frame construction has a great feel. The canopy material, itself, is easy to wipe clean. The carrying bag is nice with handles that are well-placed.
