The assembly was easy, and operation was not difficult to open the canopy.  However, I was dissatisfied to find that one of the LED lights does not work, so now I must take the time to communicate with the seller in order to remedy the issue.  If it weren't for this inconvenience, the product would have received four stars.  It is also important to note that I did not realize the need to order base weights until after receiving the item.  Buyer, be more observant than me!!
