I have the side awning tent that goes with the side awning from Kings. For what I paid for it, Im happy with it. Its far from perfect, but it suits what I use it for perfectly.

I suppose it all comes down to what your expectations are. I have used the side tent twice now and as long as you peg everything down well, the unit stays up fine in moderate wind.

I have also bought additional tie down ropes and heavier duty pegs for areas like the beach where I know there is higher wind.

one person can erect it ok if you have the time and patience, but its a lot easier and faster with 2 people.
