Plus LL Bean will take anything back if I'm not satisfied and I won't be
satisfied if it self destructs in a rain storm.

Hey Bryan,

We bought a 10 x 10 Easy Up from GI Joe's a few years ago and its been
terrific.  Quick and easy to put up and take down and good in blazing sun or
Wet Coast rain.  That LL Bean version looks very similar except you can opt
for nice colours!  ;)

Good luck, Jake
