Not bad...
The only reason I chose this specific hunting blind, was because 2 days before my 6-day Firearm season, there was a high prediction for rain/snow, on multiple days. This was the only blind that would ship in time, for the first day of my hunt. In addition,and by chance, it was the cheapest one. That being said, I give it 4 stars. It is ok.. There are quite a few pinhole size holes in the roof of the canopy, resulting in the occasional drip of rain leaking in. Also, it has a very potent plastic/chemical smell. I used 1/2 bottle of Scent Killer Gold, and a few sprays of doe urine, the day before use, to try and kill the smell. It still smelled very strong, and will certainly take many more days to dissipate the smell. On the plus side, it has a good camo color in relation to the early winter foliage, and blends in pretty well. Most importantly, it does the job and I was able to hunt in the rain/snow, without getting my firearm wet. It also was very easy to setup, and would be easy to close it and move to new area. Even with the potent smell, the wildlife still came near. In the offseason, I will certainly take it home and FlexSeal the canopy roof, to clog up the pinholes.

I like the room on the inside and the simplicity of the design.
Disclaimer... this is my first pop up blind. This is my first experience with this so I have no idea what else is out there. I presume there are blinds with more features and are better equipped. With that said, I think this blind will do very well. I plan on using this during turkey season with my daughter. We have both sat in it d I can say it is roomier than the underground goose blind I have hunted out of in the past. The zippers and Velcro are a little noisy but we will have to plan ahead and either leave the smaller windows open or lightly tack the corners on the velcro. I was afraid the colors might be off. In the picture, there appeared to be many reddish leaves in the camo pattern but they are more brown. I will leave a more detailed review better or worse after our hunt. So far I am very happy with the purchase. Best part is I didn’t have to dig a giant hole. ;)

Simple but good
I was pleasantly surprised that this fits me great as a deer blind and it is plenty big enough for me sitting with a shotgun on a milk crate and a soft seat cushion. It is water repellant but not waterproof, lots of leaky seams and pinholes but the water drips down the inside and outside, not on you.I am going to scrape a wax candle over the zipper teeth to quiet them. I have ordered a black sniper veil to throw over myself when I sit inside to blend in with the black insides, and another camo sniper veil to safety pin (black pins) over the windows to disguise me more.I think this little getup will encourage me to deer hunt in the rain.

Fair price for quality
I have seen way worse for more expensive. This is as easy as it gets for assembly and once you watch a few YouTube videos to figure out proper dissassembly and storing procedures the light bulb really goes off. I doubt you'll beat this for the price. My son wanted a camo play tent for Christmas and there were kid options for 30-35 bucks that were 1/8 of the size of this. For an extra 28 bucks he really enjoys the bigger structure/windows and zippers. Also, during season it will aide in taking down quite a few deer. I imagine this would be a fairly quote options for a mobile hunting structure and you would be able to completely set this up with little effort in less than 2 minutes.

Perfect for hunting/wildlife photography
Perfect size for 1 adult and maybe 1 child. Views from all sides. Comes with stakes and carrying case.

Poor instructions
I used this for the first time this hunting season. When it was time to take it down I read the instructions. It said to remove stakes and tie downs, lay it on it's side stand over it, grasp firmly with both hands and fold it in half until the to and bottom meet. The problem is it didn't say to remove the poles that held up the roof. When I collapsed it and tried to fold it, the roof poles broke and tour through the roof. I've had it less than a year and was disappointed to see they only gave a month to return it.

Tiny Blind
This thing is tiny.....too small. It's low cost but thats because its really, I mean really small. Too small for me and I am average size 5'10 190 ....quality seems decent. Grounding spikes are flimsy. Will get something better next time

STOP DON"T BUY THIS JUNK!!
First set up, It sprang and looked good. I went inside and put in the fiberglass rods. As I was putting ( MY ) steaks in the ground ( the ones sent are a bad joke ) I looked up and here is a 7 " place where the seam that covers the spring steel frame ripped open. Come On Man!!! I can't see EVER being able to take this POS down and put it back up. Shame on Me, buy cheap Get cheap. NO stars!!!
