Features Include:
I did extensive research on pop-up tents for our beach trip to Topsail Beach, NC and the Instent Max was, by far, the best choice. I have two boys- one 3.5yrs and one 5 months, so it was imperative that we had something to shield the little one from the sun. Despite the reviews that stated the tent collapsed with only a little bit of wind, we had no issues with our tent and we encountered some pretty windy weather (we were at the beach in between two hurricanes, so we were getting interesting weather patterns.)
As far as securing the tent, I didn't do any drastic- I did tie a loose knot on top as suggested in other reviews, packed the side pockets with sand, and put the stakes in on the 4 corners. We also kept at least one chair in there for added support- not that it needed it, but just in case. So, even with minimal support, the tent performed just as well as I had hoped.
Also- set-up and breakdown was a breeze. One minute up and one minute down. You can't beat that!
Don't hesitate on this tent- it's worth every penny!

Very Happy
I did a alot of research and was hesitant to pay so much money, but I just received the tent and could not be happier. I immediately took it out of the box, read the easy step by step directions and put it up and took it down in seconds. Seems very sturdy, perfect size and I love the fact the front and back open up for max air flow, also has small windows on the sides. We plan on taking this to the beach in a few weeks, so I will update this posting and let you know how it works as far as keeping my 8 month old shaded and giving us privacy for his naps and nursing. So far so good!
Update:Recently got back from the beach and the tent was wonderful! It was so easy to put up and take down, even though it was windy we had no problems at all. I did tie a knot on the top as another reviewer mentioned for added protection. It did get a little warm in the tent, but that was easily fixed by opening the mesh windows. It was a great haven for my son to nap (and me too) and to nurse, change diapers, etc. I know this will be very useful in the future, not only for the beach, but for the UVA/B protection. Very glad I made this purchase!
