Yea, we read some of them too. I think mostly the negative reviews are because folks buy them and don't know how to take care of them, or not willing to attend to them. Far too many seem to want to put them up and expect them to be stout as a brick house with a steel roof. We have 2 quick shades, a screened in tent sitting outside and keeping bugs out, and a portable pop-up port-a-potty/shower. Just like with the awning of your camper, when it gets windy, you need to take it down. When it rains, they pool with water. If you are atune to them, like you are atune to your awning, they work very well. I think most of those complaints are because of their own negligence, not because the product is faulty.
Edit: The only problem I seemed to have with it was setting it up the very first time. I thought the canopy was too small. But I forced stretched until it fit over the horizontal rods. After that, it was easier to set up. This being the 5th time setting up, the fabric is now stretched enough it hooks over those bars much easier now. Not a problem any more.
