I am hesitant to give 5 stars only because I do not know how it'll hold up in the wind yet. It is lighter than I thought, but the sand bags should keep the base from moving. 

The sand bags....very difficult to fill without getting sand in the velcro. I wish the pocket was positioned differently. 

It was simple to put together. I am 5'2" and 105lbs and had no issues assembling it myself.
