 "Great shelter" 2009-09-14
By Erika Organsky
This was a great option. We purchased the beach shelter for a vacation at OCNJ. We have a 1 year old and a 4 year old. We were concerned with them getting too much sun. The kids loved it. They would play inside or take a nap. A great place to get out of the hot sun.



It was sooo easy to set up and take down. We watch others on the beach, with 3 and 4 people trying to assemble a tent. It took one person a few seconds. A second person is handy if its windy. It handled the wind very well too, which I was worried about.



A great investment!!! I highly recommend it.

This tent worked great for our 2 week old daughter and 6 month old niece at the outer banks. We had mild winds and it held up well. Super easy to set up and take down...Takes literally 2 minutes!!!

 "awesome tent" 2009-08-23
By T. Jetter
I bought this tent for shelter for our my 5 month old while we're at the beach. We have used it twice now and we love it. It easily sets up and folds down pretty easily. It may take you a couple trys to get it completely folded down to fit in the bag, before you get the hang of it. Otherwise, it is a great tent, well worth the money. It is roomy, great air ventilation, I love that it has a floor to it (other tents I looked at didn't have that feature), light weight and easy to carry once folded down. I am very happy with this purchase.

 "Bad product but FANTASTIC customer service from Amazon" 2009-08-19
By Andibee (Connecticut)
I searched the Internet far and wide for a beach shelter big enough for two people to lay down inside comfortably and be completely protected by the sun -- with very easy set-up and take-down. This one seemed to fit the bill perfectly, although I was concerned about the negative reviews here with respect to wind damage. When it arrived, my boyfriend and I opened it up at home as practice before hitting the beach (great advice from previous reviewers). We were very impressed with how quickly it really does pop up and come down, and how easy it is to get back in the carry bag.



Fast forward to its first day on the beach. We pop it up, we weigh down the pockets with big rocks from the beach, and we tie a knot on top (also great advice I got here). It was wonderful for about two hours -- until it BROKE! On the first day out! One of the curved plastic rods on top broke at one of the joints, and the whole thing collapsed because of it. I think one of the other negative reviews mentions that the plastic used in this tent has basically no structural integrity, and I certainly believe that to be true, as well. There was a sea breeze, but when is there not a breeze on the beach? And plenty of other tents in our vicinity made it through the entire day.



I was ready for battle when I contacted Amazon to get a refund. I had read here that other people had a horrible time getting their money back, but now I think those people may have purchased through ABO Gear directly. I'm SO glad I purchased through Amazon. No questions asked, no battles fought -- I just called for a return shipping label and then they informed me when they received the product, when the return was processed, and again when they had credited my account.



So, I'm disappointed that the tent turned out to be useless on an average day at the beach (here in the Northeast US, at least), but I'm so impressed with Amazon's customer service. After this experience, I'll be much more likely to purchase bigger ticket items through them in the future.

 "A great product" 2009-07-04
By E. M. Kelly (Newton, MA USA)
The Instent Max Shelter exceeded my expectations by a mile. It provides instant fun for my granddaughter both in and out of the house. I set it up effortlessly twice on a Cape Cod beach; it also was easy to collapse. My granddaughter fell asleep inside of it and was shielded from the sun while a breeze from the side windows kept her cool.



I recommend Instent for both children and for adults. No more hassles trying to set up umbrellas that always get blown away, or trying to keep the sand off blankets.

 "Junk" 2009-07-03
By Timothy Bergstresser II (VA)
The tent broke the second time we used it. It is not worth the money.

 "Cheap joints (just cheap plastic)" 2009-06-09
By P. Holzmann (Chicago, IL)
I have this for a little over 1 year and used it just (3) times before one of the joints broke. After further examination I found that the joints are under a lot of stress but are only plain injection molded plastic and are not fiber plastic or aluminum which is what they should be made of.



The design is good the implementation is just plain cheap. The joints are way to weak and I am surprised it lasted even as long as it did.



I would not recommend this item. A far better solution is a small dome style tent with fiberglass rods with aluminum joints. It will perhaps take you a bit longer to set-up but at least it will not collapse while you are on vacation.



So my advice is give this item a pass I will be contacting the manufacturer but do not expect to much form them.

 "Durable and worth the purchase" 2009-08-15
By E. V. Willis
I spent days looking for the right tent and finally settled on this one. We use it at the beach on a VERY windy day but once it was staked down it was good. It outlasted 3 active kids and i was even able to sit inside and i'm 5'11. 2 beach chairs can fit and still leave extra room. There really is plenty of room and set up took no more than 5 mins, even battling gusting winds.



I would have given 5 stars, BUT one of the poles had torn thru the fabric upon arrival causing the tent to be weak on one side. I was able to repair with duck tape and re-enforced the remaining 3 side with duct tape to prevent the polls from tearing thru at the pressure points. Othen than the tear it was great for the beach! Cant wait to use it again.



Also, we use it at the Jersey sure where tents WERE permitted.

 "Exceeded expectations" 2009-08-06
By kmain3911 (California)
I opened this beach shelter and set it up myself in less than three minutes. It is very roomy inside, and I know my husband will like how it unzips on both sides. That way we can get a nice cross breeze, or if it's chilly zip up the back, and still be able to look at the ocean. There's more than enough room inside for both of us, our two dogs, our cooler, and whatever else we take to the beach with us.

 "Great tent" 2009-08-14
By Nicholas R. Roux (New Jersey)
I strongly recommend this tent. We bought this tent for our 3 month old to rest in while we were on the beach. It is extremely easy to put up (it can be done in 30 seconds.) It works well on sunny days and we also used it on a very windy day and it held up to the wind without any problems. Don't waste your money on a cheaper tent that has to be put together. This one provides protection from the sun, easy set up and it is extremely light to carry in the bag that is included. The extra money you pay for this one is well worth it.

 "I recommend" 2009-08-07
By Oleblood (South Carolina USA)
Perfect for families (we were two adults and two children). We were completely satisfied with this purchase. Really could not be any easier to setup or breakdown. Wind was never an issue (we are in South Carolina, USA), we didn't even bother with filling the side pockets with sand; staking worked just fine. The door flap stakes down for a "porch" so our one year old was able to crawl in and out of the sun (the four year old never set foot in it). And when you get ready to leave you can just lift the tent and dump any sand, crumbs out. It is easy to carry in its bag; biked with it on my back with my four year old in tow.

 "Love this tent, worth the money" 2009-08-06
By Melissa Farley (nj)
This tent is great. Its so easy to pop up and put back that we use it all the time. The beach, the house, the backyard, you name it, we've used the tent for it!!!! It is roomy, I am 5'9 and my husband is 6'1 and we both fit in it with my 2 and 3 year old. The 2 and 3 year old can also nap in it together which is nice. Its very stable against the wind of the beaches here in Jersey and I never even had to use the stakes just the sand pockets(which are awesome by the way). I just used another reviewers suggestion and brought a bunch of gallon size ziploc bags and filled them with sand to make it a bit less messy. Let me end this by saying I am not tent or outdoors savvy AT ALL. This tent was a breeze for me to operate and I can do it quickly. I do suggest trying it out in the house first so you know what to do at the beach. I LOVE THIS TENT !!!!

 "Not worth the expense" 2009-08-06
By G. Horner (Pittsburgh, PA)
The ABO tent seams began to come apart the fourth day we used the tent on our vacation. The poles began to shattered on the fifth day. As far as customer service, I have yet to hear from ABO. Find a different product.

 "does the job" 2009-08-04
By freckles
The tent is great overall. Easy to set up and close. My only issue with it are the "windows." It sort of defeats the purpose to some extent (for me) b/c during the sunny hours, the light comes through quite strongly. If you just want shade it's perfect. If you are like me (history of skin cancers) and need to avoid the rays altogether, then it's not ideal. I figured out a way to drape my towel on it to avoid the rays from streaming through so it's still functional
