Easily fits it a standard suitcase and is very easy to put up, and take down even for one person.  Lots of room and certainly provides shade so you can stay outside and not get burned.  The screen which covers all three sides provides for great ventilation.  I would highly recommend this product.

I had already bought a beach umbrella for an upcoming cruise to Hawaii, but its folded-down size is so big I had already decided that I probably won''t bring it.  This shelter, on the other hand, folds down to an extremely compact size, so it will be no problem to bring it on the cruise.  Plus, the shelter actually provides more shade than the beach umbrella, and the sand pockets should help keep it in place (unlike the umbrella which is easily susceptible to the wind).  I found the shelter to be very easy to put up and take down, so it seems like a winner to me!

Haven't had a chance to use but I know will love it

Once my son showed me how to put it up, it was and is joy.  This is just what I wanted in size and shape.  It is just as you see it.
