Lightweight tent is the right price May 31, 2008 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
After reading several reviews for this tent, we knew when we purchased it that we were taking a bit of a risk. However, given the amazingly cheap price compared to other similarly-sized tents, we decided to go ahead and give it a try. The shipping was fast, and we were able to track the tent as it traveled to us. When the box arrived, it was pretty banged up, and had a huge hole in one end. Once we sorted through all the pieces, we were only short one of the 8 feet - not a major deal. We were able to build the tent, with the provided VERY bare-bone directions (it took about 2 hours, with 2 adults and a bunch of helping hands from kids) and it looked great once it was up! However, do NOT plan on being able to use this tent if there is much of a wind - the poles are extremely light-weight, and we did have some bend under high gusts. Along with the fact that the pieces were lightweight, some of them did not "click" together as they are supposed to, so until we got the tent well staked-down, they tended to pull apart, which made building it a bit frustrating. The canopy and sidewalls are made of a lightweight tarp, but since they're white, they look better up than you'd think.
Tent worked wonderfully for our evening party, and came in handy when light rains came through the area. After the party (because I didn't have enough time before it), I called Golf Outlets of America with my order number, and told them the tent had arrived missing one foot, and that several of the poles were bent. The CS rep took all of my information, and within a week, I had replacement parts at no cost to me! Very responsive and receptive. Overall, extremely pleased with the product. Yes, it's a lightweight tent, and yes, it's not of the greatest quality. HOWEVER, take a look at what else is out there... if you only need this for occasional use - it's the perfect solution!
Great Price May 30, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The instructions are minimal and you'll need a good number of people to help (we had about 6 people) but the value is excellent. I put the tent up the night before and it held up well. I definitely recommend.
10X30 tent April 2, 2008 it was a speedy ship and delivery, some of the poles where bent, but it didn't really effect how the tent worked
Party Tent Gazebo December 28, 2007 Item arrived very quickly. The Tent looks VERY NICE when it's up; however it takes A LOT of people to get this tent together. There are ALOT of poles, but they are marked accordingly which HELPED greatly in getting it together.

Had to tape every pole together. Otherwise it started to fall apart. Don't buy it!
