I struggled back and forth with 4 or five stars. For the price, I was super impressed with the ease of putting it together. It folded over in the beginning easily to keep from bending while you did one side then the next. The directions were slightly confusing as it would show opposite corners for what was expected to be done on all corners. But still super easy to put together. It seems sturdy, but the 4 tiny little needle thin stakes they give you wouldn't do jack of a strong windw smacked into it. So I secured it with paracord and heavy duty screw in stakes. So far so good.
