I have a cheap amazon 5x5, vivosun, I think it was like $180 CAD but I can’t remember exact price.
It works for me cus I don’t move it or take it down and put it back up ever. I don’t think it would last long if had to do that.
I’m not worried about light leaks because it’s in an unused room with no windows or anything.
The zippers are fine, poles click into place, welds are fine. I don’t think it’d hold much more shit hanging from the bars. I have a batwing/6” fan/filter and an oscillating fan hung upside down. I think it’s maxed out. Made me kinda nervous when I was installing the exhaust stuff.
I don’t regret buying it but I’ve never used an expensive one so I don’t know what I’m missing
