Way overpriced and does not work like described.

We will be doing an upcoming move to San Diego and then on to Hawaii and we really wanted to find something lightweight and easy to use for shade as we will be at the beach often. This item was recommended by a fellow military spouse and after reading reviews we decided to give it a try. Worst item ever! We used it at a local lake as a trial run and just setting this thing up took over 30 min. The knots do not hold, the poles are so flimsy and do not stand well on harder sand and a slight breeze would knock them down. 4 Poles are definitely needed to even keep this thing afloat and stronger ones with spikes would be nice for security. I also found this item to be very overpriced for a 5 foot piece of stretchy fabric and flimsy aluminum poles. If the price was cut in half it may be worth the hassle but even that would be questionable.
