Title: Same problem with bending poles
Review: This is just to corroborate earlier reviews about the terrible quality of the steel poles. The screen room itself is great, sheds water well and is roomy enough to store all our outdoor gear PLUS a standard campsite picnic table. But, you have to be very, VERY careful putting the poles together properly, and even when you do the force of stretching the tent out to clip it to the poles can cause them to bend at the elbow joints. Once this happens the might bend back once, but after that they are weakened to the point of being unusable; plus, they rust as soon as the paint is broken from being bent. They'll also twist in the center hub at the top of the screen, making removal from the hub a wrench-inducing nightmare. Naturally, Coleman will sell you replacement poles...at $17.50 apiece. Multiply that price times FOUR poles, and I'll be buying a new screen for next season.
