I bought this thinking that I needed a little shade on the beach. It does take some maneuvering to refold for restore. The shading is ok, but it requires you to move it around depending on the position of the sun.  In that way it is a little more inconvenient. Otherwise it is light weight and easy to carry. 

 

Pros:  light weight, easy to carry, no assembley required
Cons:  shading not as convenient, somewhat difficult to fold
