There are a whole lot of different models on the market, of EZ Ups as well as other brands.

In my experience, you get what you pay for. The first tent I tried was a cheap big box that was almost impossible to put up. I took it back. The second one was a cheap (though somewhat more expensive) EZ Up that had a bad habit of coming apart if the wind came up. The third one was a professional grade EZ Up bought from a place specializing in them; that one cost me more, but it's been going to market for 8 years now with no problems.

There are more "First Ups" at our market.  We purchased ours at WalMart, less than $100, don't know that it will last 10 years, but looks like it will last several.  We are on year three now.  - mac

Quoting Andy Fellenz :
We are returning to a Farmers Market this season after being away from markets for 8 years while we concentrated on our CSAs and Farmstand.  We are looking for recommendations for Easy Up or similar type tents we can use over our market table.  Years ago we used a real cheap awning which was a pain to set up and didn't last too long.  

I'd like to know what is available now which works well and is reasonably priced.

Thanks,

Andy
