Best Choice Products 12x12ft Easy Setup Pop Up Canopy w/ 1-Button Setup, Wheeled Case, 4 Weight Bags - Black

This looked great when it was up! The setup was pretty fast, it took 2 people about 15 minutes to pop it out and fill the sandbags. The sandbags do not come with sand, by the way - this is expected but wanted to mention it for other future purchasers. The flag motif on top was cute and appreciated. This was meant to be a canopy for my son's birthday party, but before the party even happened, a hard gust of wind knocked the whole thing down, even with the sandbags filled and attached. The metal frame is broken and the entire canopy is unusable after one use. This is probably fine in mild weather with no wind, but if you have freak/flash winds in your area, look for something more sturdy! This was an expensive lesson to learn.

The problem with this canopy is the framework. The 4 corner posts do not have a locking mechanism at the top as you're setting up. The corners were weighed, as required. A gust of wind came shifting the canopy. As it did, the support slid down the post, twisting and eventually snapping the smaller brackets.
