Really great concept with some design flaws
Likes
Lightweight, portable, reasonably water resistant. The two tall sides are easy to enter/exit the tent. Kept about 2/3rds of the items underneath dry during light rain showers. The internal loops are nice for hanging LED string lights.
Dislikes
The straps are not removable and due to the design they'll always be exposed to the elements (not covered by the canopy). This makes cleaning/setup/disassembly/packing very cumbersome. Be prepared for a mess of straps that easily get all tangled up. If they were completely detachable I'd find this canopy much more useful so I can wash and pack them separately.The shape of the tent is very much a "dome" so the covered area for shade or rain protection is a bit limited. Assembly is definitely a two person ordeal with poles that extend VERY far out which could make this difficult to set up if you have limited space. Having to thread the poles through fabric feels pretty outdated compared to newer tent/shelter designs that use clips exclusively and the poles tend to get caught in the material pretty easily.

Small pack size, adequate size and wind resistance

Compared to a full size awning, this thing is a champ. It's very light weight and provides decent coverage over a picnic table. I purchased this to supplement a full size canopy because this one will actually fit in a mid-size SUV with the rear seats up.
Dislikes
Difficult to keep dirt out of the stuff sack when packing up. Not a huge deal. It's very hard to find the size panels for this, and if rain is anything but vertical, it will get through the sides of the canopy.
