Really wanted to like this item! I enjoyed it the short time I had it open and was able to use it. But the second time I set it up, one of the corner supports (which is made of plastic for some bizarre reason) cracked and the metal rods could no longer fit into it. This break caused a bit of a chain reaction as I tried to take it down, and two metal rods broke (at the junction where they would be screwed into a support). Really sad this happened so quickly after buying it! I do not understand why those support joints are made of plastic. They clearly cannot support the weight of the canopy.
