It works as it should. As others have mentioned, it’s really difficult to pop up the center support. It definitely takes 2 people to pop up the center. What we ended up doing was opening up all the sides, then lay it on its side with the door opening laying on the ground. I stood on the door opening and held onto the opposite side that was in the air. Now the top is on the side, then the wife pushed the top out. Then we stood the completed canopy up. Hopefully it gets easier with time. Still would highly recommend. Build quality appears to good.
