Easy set up , sturdy frame and great customer service ! I purchased two of these for get togethers and events . They were super easy to pull apart and the center push up and click in place feature is great! Canopy material is well made and the top vent allows for good air flow. Had an issue with canopies being delayed in shipping but customer service got right on it and took care of the issue with excellent response time. My only tip would be to give yourself atleast three weeks before you need them just in case, but I highly recommend this brand and company ! The carry case is made of strong material and should last a long time. They are easy to pull along behind you. They come with sand bags and stakes but I purchased the 40lb weights to use. I also bought the sides that are an extra cost but fairly cheap to add. Read more

I bought this for an outdoor music festival, and it was perfect. I've used it for two different festivals now, each time the canopy was up for 4-5 days. It never blew away, which was my main concern. If it gets really windy, you can lower the height of the canopy to make it more stable. That, combined with heavy duty stakes and sand bags, kept me from having any issues with it. It comes with sand bags, but I wish the handles were sturdier. I hold them from the bottom to avoid tears, but the sand stays put and doesn't leak. The canopy is relatively easy to set up. The beige color is nice, and the size meant plenty of room underneath for several people to sit and hang out. I hung curtains from the sides for privacy and shade and added some lights for ambiance, and it became a really nice place to relax. It did rain a few times, but I didn't notice any leakage. The worst part of the canopy is the weight. It's really heavy, but that to me means it's sturdy. It's just hard to load and unload in and out of the car. It's not impossible for one person, but two people make it much easier to move and set up. Read more

Updated review: I've had it for 3 months and it still looks brand new. We've had numerous windstorms with gusts from 50 to 60mph this winter, and it has not budged an inch. A couple weeks ago we had a torrential downpour that ended up flooding lowlands and causing rivers to overflow their banks, but my sitting area stayed perfectly dry. This has far exceeded my expectations! Original review: I live in the Pacific Northwest and have dogs that dont like rain. So since we are heading into the rainy season soon, I got this awning for the backyard. It is an easy 1 person job to put it up. The velcro holding the fabric seems secure. The sandbags are kinda small, I want to see how they do in some wind before I get bigger ones. 10x10 is perfect over our seating area with 4 chairs and a table, so it should keep them nice and dry. We even have space under it for an elevated dog bed, just in case the ground gets wet our dogs have a dry place to lay down. I literally just put it up so I cant really say how durable it is, or how well it keeps rain off. But if it fails in any way, I will update my review. I like it so far though Read more

We bought this canopy for park BBQ and light camping. The Crown Shade has a very innovative way to set up, super easy one person set up. Only problem was the metal frame is very light weight so it’s not too durable. I would put it in the league of the cheaper light duty canopies but it is more expensive just because of the innovation of setting it up easily. I wish it was more heavy duty that being said we had used it about half a dozen times now. The last time we had it up a wind gust came through and picked up the canopy and flipped it. The canopy was secured with the cheap stakes that came with it. None the less it bent a few of the frame and it could not be salvageable. For about $140 not worth it to me, either get a cheaper under $100 ones that has the same light weight frame or op for the more heavy duty ones for $170.... it’s a shame it’s not constructed with some stronger more durable frame, maybe they should make one that is more commercial grade for a few dollars more.... i am looking right now at the Eurmax canopy, it weights more so it should be a little more durable and it also have replaceable parts like the frame and hardware just Incase they do bend and break... November 8th 2018, I had one of the service reps (Kam) email me about the bad experience I had with the canopy, and was kind enough to send me a replacement for free. I didn't even try to call or write them an email because I was so disappointed but I did write a bad review on Amazon for my fellow buyers. Anyways I have to give it to them, you don't see too many company that will do this for their customers it really does show they do care about us and stand by there product. I have put up many canopy in my life time and some are better than others and I can honestly say this is a good canopy for the price especially the way it can be set up by one person. They sent me the commercial graded one which has parts that if they do break you can order them Awesome! I have told friend and families about Crown Shades and would definitely buy from them again. It is thee only canopy that I know of that has this kind of setup. I've seen other canopy on Amazon like ABCcanopy and other ones, and they are pretty much in the same price range and same quality build BUT none as easy to set up like Crown Shades. There are really heavy duty commercial grade canopy out there but they are in the $300-$400 range and are heavy as hell! If you are looking for a mid level canopy in the price range of $150-$250 I would definitely give these guys a look. They are at the sweet spot of $200 great product + great customer service = Great Company. I really do think the $130 ones was fine for family friendly use, it was actually my fault for not securing it down with proper weights. If you can afford the $200 one that is the one to go for in my opinion because you can buy replacement parts. I should have bought this one in the first place! Thank you again KAM and Crown Shades! You guys have a customer for life! Read more

The canopy arrived quickly, packaged well, and in new condition as expected. 1st setup recommends two people, however I completed it alone (69 yr old man). Velcro canopy attachments seen well designed, and easy to use. Leg adjustment is simple with push to release levers. I was able to take down, store, and transport it alone. The zippered cover provides straps to keep it attached. The 10'x10' size is ample. Noteworthy: 1. The wheels are adequate for transport on hard surfaces, however they are too small for soft surfaces like sand. 2. The ad states the canopy cover is designed to prevent wind lift and rain pooling (think waterproof), however enclosed paperwork instructs that it be taken down in case of wind or rain (see photos) Read more
