Good to hear as I just bought this same Coleman branded eaved shelter at our local Costco for $160 Cdn. :B
As a followup to this ...
Yesterday my wife & I went over to Costco for a few items so while there she took a look at this Coleman shelter and pronounced it as "way too big". :R I noticed the display model, although indoors, already had several pinholes in the material and other areas where the fabric had already failed. :E Online research also indicates that replacement parts, particularly fabric, aren't available so although I haven't even taken ours out of the bag it's going back to Costco. In the meantime I've been doing some research and it looks like the latest generation of E-Z Up Shelters is probably our best bet. Quality appears to be better, albeit at a significantly higher cost, but aside from a 3 yr warranty the biggest advantage is replacement parts are readily available, including here in Canada. :) BTW, for those also looking for one of these shelters I discovered that when a manufacturer like E-Z Up says a given model is 10' x 10' that refers to the footprint ... if it's a straight leg model then the top coverage will be 10' x 10' as well but if it's a slant leg model top coverage will be closer to 8' x 8'. Based on this I'm wanting a 10' x 10' straight leg model, probably an E-Z Up Pyramid latest generation G3 model which features improved fabric and more reinforcement at key points. :B
