In my opinion the material is alright but you need to be careful with this shelter. FYI this shelters is not good for turf or artificial ground

I mounted my torches on my deck but I will say the three poles pieces aren't the sturdiest but they are fine to support the torches. I wouldn't recommend using a hammer I would use a rubber mallet to pound them and suggest pouring some water on the ground to soften it up first if it's hard other than that the torches are excellent I love them and I would recommend them.

Not sure you can buy from this company but Home Depot has similar that fit the poles. However, I would get the poles at Home Depot too. These Poles break very easily.

To add to my previous comment, I returned mine. I felt it was glued together very quickly and pieces were crooked. I felt the quality was poor. I agree with one of the previous comments that it wouldn't hold up outside. If it's for decoration only, I'm sure you could find a way to put it up on a wall.

It stays up well. It may begin to droop a little over time but its easy enough to tighten back up. I haven't experienced my kids running into the poles but it's not something the concerns me. The poles are sturdy.

Yes it is. Still very happy with it. If you can afford it you will be very satisfied. I've worked with the ones that spins and this one blows those away. I bought the pole also for when I hang cabinets. That works great to. Just remember to take batteries out of unit if storing for long periods of time and this thing will last forever.

It is as long as you keep handy the tools that it came with. They make taking it down and up much easier. It's not as easy to take down as other portable poles, but the extra effort is Very worth it because the pole is super sturdy!

I've never bought a pole at a discount store, so I can't really compare the two, but this seems to be a decent quality pole. I've had mine, with no issues for over a year.

The poles are good. I use this to hang an over flow of my dresses. But I did find I had to use electrical tape to keep the horizontal pole in place (so it doesn't slide off the supporting side poles). For the price I can live with it.

I can not speak to the quality of other manufactured products. I have used some "home made" variants and was concerned about placing a significant amount of weight on them. This product will handle body weight and will withstand adverse conditions of sand, heat, and abuse. I am happy with mine.

Ours is Ok. The pole did not seat completely in the socket but the table seems stable in spite of that.

Since these are not "commercial grade", and the cost to use the tent once, could compare to the cost of a rental tent..., I suggest you consider buying a new tent. I used the tent quite a few times, but one very stormy day, and the poles bent. Buying replacement poles will be much more work, and the poles may not be a perfect match to the tent canopy. Good luck, I hope this helps.

Hi Thomas... In my opinion, it is definitely worth the investment. You can go cheaper, but there will always be that nagging concern about it falling apart at the most inopportune moment. One never regrets investing in quality.

There is no difference, the issue I had were the pole, they are no strong at all and break easily. Poor quality.

I did not experience that issue at all. In case, the gray platic handle on the extension comes off easily and the gray handle that turns tolock the poles broke.

I really don't know either but I own two of them and have had the pole break out on me but I repaired it myself. I think it would be best to get in touch with Amazon about this problem. I would think the warranty would be at least one year. I know that Amazon has taken care of some of my problems.
