In a nut shell I bought it for about $150 (worth about $199 or so I was told via the tag at Sam's Club) to replace one that has lasted 6 years (not an EZ-up). Well, the first show I used it, the truss broke clean off. I returned it the next day, with pictures as evidence and got a new one. The same exact thing happened again - mind you I do have experience setting them up and taking them down. So I couldn't return it and went to EZ-UP directly (via their website and phone) and told them about the situation. They said the best thing is to order the part. Of course the part wasn't in stock for 6 weeks (ending up being 8 weeks) and wasn't able to even use the canopy again for the rest of last year due to their "out of stock" situation. So, I since had it fixed and was fine and put it away. Was super excited to use it this past weekend - ready to put the past behind me and low and behold once getting the canopy out of the bag the truss fell onto the ground before i even had the bag off, with another truss about to break. Now aside from needing to replace this CRAP canopy, my question is this... Should I salvage the canopy as much as possible and sell the parts (say on ebay or in the classified section here) or finally do what I have been wanting to do with it for awhile - take it out into the back yard and with a baseball bat just have fun? BTW, the EZ-UP was an Embassy II.<p class="attachment"><a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/8870866298?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener">canopy and booth pictures 010.jpg</a></p></div>
