I gave this tent 4 stars because the material is very thin however, I enjoy this tent for going to the lake to fish and my kids like to use it in the backyard as a shaded picnic area. We plan on taking this tent to the beach and will see how it holds up but I do enjoy the tent having windows that can easily be opened or closed. It is not as easy to get back into the bag. Looking forward to seeing how this tent holds up for our needs.
