Quictent Privacy 10x10 Pop up Canopy Tent with Sidewalls and Roll-up Ventilated Windows, One Person Setup, Easy Outdoor Commercial Gazebo Shelter Enclosed Waterproof, Bonus 4 Sandbags

I was hesitant to spend this much on a popup tent, since quality is often hit-or-miss, but I liked the idea of the attachable sidewalls. I bought this specifically for cooking our Thanksgiving turkey on a rotisserie which I thankfully completed before the collapse.The first signs of poor quality became apparent during assembly. One of the screws was missing on one of the expandable bars. I had to dig through my collection of spare nuts and bolts to find something that worked. I then noticed that two of the 4 red release buttons for the legs were missing. I eventually found them - and the springs that back them - lying in the bottom of the bag. But I managed to get the tent assembled.Although the product claims to be waterproof, I was skeptical after inspecting the fabric. It was very thin and did not seem to have a decent waterproof coating. Sure enough, when a light drizzle started, water seeped through to the underside of the fabric. At least it didn't drip.A couple hours after cooking the turkey, I heard a loud crash outside. I went out and discovered the tent had collapsed. Apparently the light drizzle had accumulated in one of the roof panels until the frame buckled under the weight. When I say buckled, I mean the metal parts literally broke. Note one of my pictures where you can see that the metal arm is torn. You can see traces of rust, too, which is not a good sign for a product that had been out of its packaging for only 1 day.I've set up many popup tents like this. I had everything pulled taught, Velcro pieces attached correctly, etc., so I'm not sure why this tent couldn't handle a little rain. What I do know is that I paid $175 for a shelter that lasted 1 day and for a 45-minute task to disassemble a mess of crumpled garbage so it could be thrown away.My recommendation: Do not buy this tent. I've seen much higher quality for lower cost.

This review comes after extensive communication with Quictent customer service. The original tent I received from Amazon was defective. Specifically, the frame was missing an important piece which made it very difficult to put the tent up. I spoke to customer service about it and they replaced the frame and the carrying bag…the first bag ripped upon first use. Ivy from Quictent was very attentive and handled the matter promptly. The replacement frame I received was much better. I believe that some of tents on Amazon are of an older model. Either way, I think it’s a great tent and I’m pleased with the customer service.

I think I was sent at 8x8 not a 10x10 because it was significantly shorter than the other 10x10’s at the Farmers Market I used it for. Setting it up was really easy although it says can be done by one person I couldn’t figure it out and there weren’t any YouTube videos on how to do it by myself. I ordered a white tent but it was more of a silver color which would’ve been fine it I hadn’t requested that specific color because it’s what’s required for vendors. Trying to return the ten or exchange the tent is a hassle without the original box it came it. Overall the ease of setting up the tent doesn’t outweigh everything else. If you’re using this for hanging out or casual events then fine but for vendors at craft shows or farmers markets I do not recommend.

I needed a pop up to house my tools and keep them out of the sun while we build a new shed. I thought this would do the job, but it fell apart within only 3 days of being put up! It was not windy, and no trees were nearby, but the fabric tore at several points and then the frame broke - its now a piece of trash to be added to our overfull landfill and just a total waste of time and $$. Now I will check the country of origin on all I buy from Amazon because I am tired of cheap products. It's worth paying more for a quality product - don't fall for how cute the ad looks or the "low" price - it ain't cheap if you have to buy it twice!

It's not a very expensive tent, so when we used it we were very careful in putting it up and taking it down. Used it on weekends for one month. Really well done for the price. The only problem was one bar that bent after a really hard gust of wind, but it was REALLY BAD WIND all day. But it still didn't affect overall performance. During a hard gust, I recommend two people standing on opposite sides making sure everything stays in place. Would be improved with a venting window in the roof. We just flipped open some of the over-hangs in the tent, but it didn't work as well. If you're going to use a tent on occasion to tailgate, sell at a fair every so often, or for a party, this is a fine choice if you take care of it. If you are going to need a workhorse tent - you're selling professionally every weekend for more than one summer, then you may want to invest in a better overall tent. Great starter tent until you figure out how often you'll really use one and if it's worth more of an investment in a better quality tent.
