We used this for about 4 months. It stayed set up on our patio and kept items underneath it dry. When high winds were predicted, my daughter (234 years old) tried to put it down by herself - shorten all 4 legs so it would be closer to the ground and more stable. During the process, one leg bent and creased so that it would no longer collapse. It eventually broke into two pieces rendering the entire canopy useless. Went to the trash after one season. They should make the legs replaceable for this reason.  (My sister also had a similar item and one of the legs on hers eventually broke also. That seems to be the weakest link.
