LOTS OF GREAT FEATURES! LOVE IT!

We only got this a few days ago and immediately installed it in our guest room to try it out and learn how to fold and take it down. It took a few tries to get it up, but it's okay once we've done it a few times. I spent the whole evening looking at different parasols and reading reviews about them. It seemed to have great reviews and also had a lot of the features I wanted, the main one being the size. I needed to be big enough for two adult chairs and additional space for a child, cooler, beach bag, etc. Price was also important to me. I didn't want to spend more than $50-60 if possible and this one fit the bill as I bought it from Revain for $55 on Prime Day. After setting it up, we noticed a few things that we really liked, such as very large windows. for ventilation, four large mesh pockets (two on each side) for sunscreen, snacks, keys, sunglasses, etc. The front flap serves as a porch for extra people to sit on, or simply helps keep sand out inside the tent. It also zips up completely, which I really like because if someone wants to change before heading home, we don't have to go back to the toilet. If we leave the tent for a while, we can put all our personal belongings inside the tent and zip it up, which is another great feature. I bought two ozark low chairs and I think they will be great for the tent! I put them in just to see how they fit and they fit perfectly! Low chairs are great for extra headroom etc. Also we sit at the right height to get a nice breeze from the windows. on the shoulder to carry everything you need. The plastic poles that come with the tent are very strong and well made. Sand storage bags have Velcro for easy opening and closing. I'm planning on getting gallon size zippered bags for sand as another reviewer recommended. If I were to change something I'd like the tent to be a darker color like royal blue just to not be as light, but it doesn't matter and we pack an extra one - a large beach towel that attaches to the top of the tent can become tent if we feel we need it for extra shade. I am very happy with this tent and can't wait to take it to the beach next week and try it out! I'm sure we will love it! ***UPDATE*** We took this to the beach two days ago and it worked great! Setup was easy and quick. My husband and I installed and sanded everything in five minutes or less. Our two sun loungers fit in perfectly, as does our small fridge and beach bag, and there's room for other little extras. We brought an extra beach towel to clip to the poles for extra sun protection and it worked great (hint - my husband cut the clips off the plastic hangers that come from the store and they worked amazingly, um to hold the towel securely). It was a very hot day (37 degrees) with little wind, but we felt very comfortable! I did not want to go! We had lunch in a tent under the sun and sand and it was great! We went for a long walk, packed everything into the tent and zipped up the front, another great feature to keep our belongings more secure. Next time I'll take an extra beach towel and put it on the front flap as it gets really hot in the sun and it hurts a bit when you step on it. We used extra large mesh holders to keep our phones and sunglasses off the bottom of the tent so we knew where they were and didn't have to worry about stepping on them. The man sitting next to us complimented him, he thought it was very cute! We are very happy with this sunshade tent and can't wait to use it again next week!
