This pop up canopy is super easy to put up and take down. It is much simpler than I even imagined. There are no poles or difficult directions needed. It literally springs open when you open it. I love this! It is made of sturdy fabric and the zippers glide well. It stores in a flat, round plastic cover so it is easy to store too. We set a 6ft table inside it and it worked well, but had little room to walk around after. Overall, we love it!
