Shipping to Minnesota was fast, two days after I ordered. The product isn't bad, but definitely for infrequent, light use. I bought it knowing that, so I'm fine with that. ADVANTAGES: 1. BIG! Large enough for a reflector, screen, diffuser or an impromptu background for a header. 2. Disc and disc zipper are well stitched, looks solid and close smoothly. 3. Internal spring frame looks beautiful and durable. CONS: 1. Too heavy for your hand and you have to use a sturdy lightweight stand or sandbag
