Got the 10x10. Simple to set up. The provided stakes are junk. Replace these, especially if you plan to drive into hard dirt. Included stakes will probably be fine on softer soils. Zipper action is a little tough if you don't brace the tent a bit so one handed operation is tougher. Wasn't a strongest, but being that it is foldable like a windshield sunshade, I expected this. Its a bit floppy if you don't stake it down. Haven't tried sandbags. My only complaint is that I'd like to be able to fold it as small as it came. I'm guessing they had it twisted twice to form 3 loops. Might need 2 people to accomplish this. I had to put the back seat down to fit it in my car, which means I can take this if I have passengers in the rear. Makes packing the car for a camping trip a bit tougher as well as it goes in last so I have to leave room on top. I actually bought this one for my mom, but she had me try it out first. 10x10 gets around a standard picnic table, but with only a small amount of room to walk. I may get the 12x12 for myself in the future though packing it may be even more challenging. Both are likely to be easier to back then a typical EX-up though. This product brought a lot of compliments at the campsite for its apparent simplicity.
