Our local beaches have been subject to significant erosion and we needed an alternative to our Neso, which is no longer the permitted. A single pole umbrella doesn’t always get the job done for our middle kid-ult who is extremely sun sensitive. I saw a family with this tent on the beach and ordered one from my phone. Sets up in under a minute and it’s held down by beach sand which you scoop into the outside pockets. Couldn’t be more simple and two adults can fit inside easily.

I’m extremely fair skinned and live in Florida and this is AMAZING!!, it pops up in literally a second and isn’t hard to put up, as long has you follow the directions on the bag. the pockets along the side for sand are excellent bc they allow you to just kick sand in. i also can’t get over how small and compact the bag is. absolutely the best $30 ive ever spent

This was literally so simple to take out and set up- you just pull it out of the sleeve and it expands on it's own! It's really light, so if you have any breeze at all you will need to weigh it down. We got this to keep our two rambunctious golden retriever puppies (both about 35 lbs at this point maybe?) out of the sun for a trip to the beach. What was great is that since the frame of this is all one piece and is very flexible, nothing broke when they decided to use the inside of it as a thunderdome for a wrestling championship. They tumbled together inside that thing end over end down one side of the beach and back the other- it was really quite comical and looked like something out of a cartoon.Getting it back inside its storage sleeve is a whole different story though- it was impossible for me to do! I'm sure it can be done, but after a full day in the sun, an adult bevvy or two (or 5), and only devoting about 10 minutes to the project, it was impossible for me. You have to like, figure 8 the frame somehow, but it wanted to keep snapping open before I could stuff it back in the sleeve. I felt like I was following the instructions (not many things like this can outsmart me!) but still wasn't able to fit the folded-up shade back into its storage sleeve. I felt like if I maybe had 2 extra hands I could have held it tight in all the places it needed to be held so it could fit back into it's sleeve. But I remember getting it folded up, then having my husband hold up the sleeve and thinking to myself "yeah, that's never going to fit back in there". So either I was missing steps in the folding process, or it's like when you buy a comforter (that is folded by machine to fit into the zippered bag, only to never fit again because people don't have industrial textile folding machines at home....yet.)- either way, it has never gone back into its sleeve and will forever remain open until we eventually get rid of it.

ORIGINAL REVIEW: Despite the YouTube videos, I have not been able to fold it back down after using it the second time. I was able to do it well once, when I tested it. However, on our actual beach excursion, I could not get it closed even after pulling up a video on my cell phone. In fact, I may have bent the frame trying it so many times and I may have to just throw it away. It was easy enough to set up, and I liked having the thin bottom lining so we didn't have to sit on our beach towels. I did not feel it was sturdy enough to withstand the wind that day if I wandered too far away from it. The next day we set a cooler down inside, which made it feel much more secure. It was probably too small to put more than one chair inside. My visitors wanted to sit in the sun anyway, so I sat inside the tent with the cooler and our beach bag. There would not have been enough room for a second person as long as the cooler and beach bag were inside. If I can get it closed again, it will probably do nicely for my purposes. I live near the beach and I should be able to put it in my bike bag for a quick bike ride to the beach. It's still in my garage in it's fully open state, but I gave it a 3 assuming I can get it folded back up and use it for the purpose I described. This review is for the iCorer Automatic Pop Up Instant Portable Outdoors Quick Cabana Beach Tent Sun Shelter. I paid $40 for it, so I will be annoyed if I end up having to throw it away. The seller sent me several videos, as stated in the Amazon product info.UPDATE 5/30/16: We have finally mastered the fine art of folding it back up and getting it back into the carrying case -- including being able to zip up the case. It took him around 90 minutes before he figured out his system. Believe it or not, he said the best instructions were the ones sewn into the tent, although the second YouTube video helped a bit. Since we are able to fold it back up, it is perfect for our purpose. We successfully took it to the beach on our bicycles today. It fit very well in the saddlebag on his bike. We could fit the two of us inside lying down pretty comfortably, although we did not have much stuff with us. I will try to upload two pictures: one showing it on the beach and the other showing it folded back up on the bicycle. The seller contacted me immediately after my original review, and offered a refund or exchange, which we really appreciated. We are going to keep the tent and also post very positive seller feedback.
