I saw one set at the local wally a week ago and it was an open package and one of the poles was broken. Someone had fully extended the thing and came apart. I fiddled with it for a couple of minutes and gave up. They seemed way to flimsey for me. Usually you get what you pay for. Unless you build it yourself, then you usually spend more on supplies and time. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
