Two additional purchases made this thing perfect!
I'm going to give what I hope will be the most honest review you'll fine for this product. First of all, understand that I struggled with ordering this item for some time... I read all the reviews, good and bad, and just wasn't sure if I wanted to be bothered with the potential hassle of dealing with a tent that seemed like a border-line piece of junk. I thought about it long and hard and ultimately decided to order it -- and boy am I glad that I did.I will say that this is by far not the best quality tent you'll find but with a few cheap upgrades, you should have no problem with this at all. Before you start to put this together, do yourself a favor -- Head to Home Depot and buy two items -- White Duct Tape and 24 large 10" nails. The reason for the duct tape is so you can securely attach all the poles because they DO NOT stay together. With the duct tape, they'll be fine and you won't even notice the tape once it's all assembled. The reason for the nails is because the ground anchors that come with this tent are garbage -- just throw them away and don't even bother. They bent as soon as I tried to tap them in the ground so I went to Home Depot and found some nails that worked perfectly.Once you get those two items, you should have no problem with this thing at all. I put it together myself and just needed an extra set of hands once I was ready to add the vertical bars to get the roof off the ground. Other than that, it was a relatively simple tent to assemble and worked out perfectly for our 25 guests at my son's birthday party. I even left it out overnight and had no problem at all here in northern NJ.

Don't waste your time or energy.
I'm giving it a 2 because under extremely perfect conditions, this party tent could be a good buy, but I'm not really sure how some of the positive reviews on here even happened because I can't anticipate the posibilitily of such perfect conditions. First, it took 2 of us over 2 some hours to put it together. Now granted, there were no instructions, just a picture and you were left to your own devices or lack thereof. Thank God for deductive reasoning! I would have never figured out that they wanted me to put #3 all the way through (picture showed 2 of them, package only had 1) Once set up, however, some parts of it started falling apart almost immediately and had to be scotch taped. With a little wind, the top of the tent began to cave in and eventually became flattened after being outside for 3 days. Also, I don't know who is calling this a wedding canopy because if I went to a wedding under this canopy, it would be pretty pathetic. I used this for a children's party and even at that, it was pretty shoddy and embarrassing. Certainly, does not quality for any large event like a wedding or any party for adults. It is not as tall as a professional size tent and very shoddy. Also, I thought it would be easy to set up up and down. When we rented a tent, it took the guy 20 minutes to set up this huge atrocity in our yard and this little shoddy thing took over 2 hours to set up? Not worth it. It is cheap, but that's about its only plus. And frankly, nothing is even cheaper and in my opinion, better.

Good TEMPORARY shelter. Stake it down good!
Went together fairly easy for one person to do, just takes a strategy to do alone. Kit comes complete with everything necessary. The framing isn't the best or most sturdy, but if it's only for occasional use will be fine. DO NOT leave this up as a permanent structure! It will collapse from light snow load! Also remember to tie down and stake in the top as it will prevent it from moving in the breeze. Unfortunately we got an unexpected storm and it ripped the top and bent the frame. We were able to still use it, but I had to rig up parts of it. We should have checked the weather report ahead of time. Overall, we feel we "got our money's worth" out of it because we were able to use it a few times.

Okay, so this isn't the sturdiest tent ever and won't last forever, but for the price, you can't go wrong. If you are looking for a tent that will last for at least 3 occasions, get this. It seemed larger than 10x20. It is as pictured, sides and all. Takes more than one person to set up, however. In fact, when it comes to the last part of putting the top part up, it goes up like a snap if you have 6 people lift at once. That part takes less than a minute. So glad we got this for our daughter's graduation party. Was much cheaper than renting one. I plan on loaning this to my sister for her daughter's grad party.

Great value...but very light weight
Worked great for our needs but don't expect a super sturdy solution. It's a light version of a commercial party tent and really cannot be left up in moderate winds or heavy rains or snow. But if you needs something to keep the sun out and/or keep in some heat, it works. Also, allow time to assemble and for best results, it's s two (wo)man job. I did it solo and wish I didn't.

you get what you pay for. it doesnt feel terrible sturdy, but will definitely serve its purpose for a few summer lawn parties. It you are looking for something that will be in the family for years, spend more ( a lot, probably). This thing was perfect for my purpose: a cheap way to get some shade for a about 3-4 parties a summer.assembly was surprisingly easy for such a large tent.

comes apart easy and frequently
I'm not sure why is called a Wedding Party Tent because the material is just a thin plastic that comes VERY wrinkled.Is ok for everyday use though the frame, especially the top portion that holds the canopy up, comes apart easy and frequently.For the size, the material and what it is though is not a bad buy. Depends on what you're using it for!Sunny Outdoor Inc. remove the "wedding" wording from the title!!

Great buy
The tent was great... I used the tent in the street. I used weights to keep the tent from blowing in the wind. It was windy but the weights were great. The tent was not too hard to set up and it was a breeze taking it down. It was a great buy.
