Only reason this didnt get four stars is the directions are a little lacking and the pin to secure the canopy when you open or close it is really high and hard to reach unless you are tall! Besides that we love it and are very happy with it. We get 100 sun all day in our yard so its nice to have some stylish shade. Weve added a shade sail to the end as the su. Shines that end in the afternoon so this way we are full shade all day.
