★★☆☆☆
Not useful when breezy.
I agree with most reviewers that this product is very easy to put together and to take apart. I also agree that it provides more than adequate shade and space inside. This product, however, does not work at all on the beach with the ocean breeze. In fact it acts like a parachute, making it impossible to keep it safely or comfortably on the ground. I tried it inside and in the backyard where there is no wind and it works great, but it is not useful at all when faced with direct sea breeze. I thought the "windows" might allow the air to go through, but they do not. I would not buy this product if you plan to use it mostly on a breezy beach where the sand does not allow for very firm nail down.
