This was my experience - horrible. It's cheap and flimsy and nothing is put together - its 30+ parts for each individual panel and it needs full assembly.  But what got the bad rating was - it is too flimsy to put in the ground as far as it needs to go without digging some kind of hole first. If you put enough pressure on it (anywhere) to go into the dirt, something will try to snap or slide out of place, the bottom will give way, etc. I was looking for something smaller, easy to shade an antenna but I'd rather stare at the antenna then use this product again.
