Five Star Reviews: | 58% Usefool accessory December 21, 2016 Who doesn't need these? Great for outdoor entertaining. Keep the bugs out! The tents are large enough to cover most serving dishes. party and were perfect!! August 20, 2016 Had these things growing up, and my mom used them all the time. Couldn't believe I could still find them. Used them for an outdoor grad. party and were perfect!! Nice product that is reasonable priced to keep the bugs ... August 15, 2016 Nice product that is reasonable priced to keep the bugs off your food. We cook out a lot and have family gatherings outside frequently and this work great. Even bought some for my mom. Food Cover Umbrella Tent, 12 inch pack of 4 February 21, 2016 I have these to my friend who entertains a lot outdoors. Easy to open and close. Big enough to put over a large dinner plate. Easy to store. I would recommend and purchase again October 12, 2015 I didn't get to use these for the occasion for which they were purchased. However upon receiving them I opened them to make sure they were all in working order. The items arrived on time and in working order. I would recommend and purchase again. Great picnic food oovers July 12, 2014 Great picnic food oovers. You pull fhem up by a string that locks in place and easily folds flat. Everybody at the party wanted to know where I purchased them. Great for keeping flies off your food. | 46% PICNIC ANYONE? August 7, 2017 This reasonably sized and priced item doesn't look too dorky and frustrates flying insects to no end. They work awesome but they are lightweight and if it's more than slightly breezy they can be easily weighted using the pull cord with a little bit of creativity. I've been known to tie my key ring onto mine. Good product for a reasonable price Just what I wanted, excellent screen for food. July 29, 2017 These are very decent quality and the pop up design is really clever. Some reviewers complained that flies can get under it because it does not sit level on the table. The one I got may be an improvement. There is a pretty half inch strip of lace sewn on the bottom. It serves to block flies and close any gaps there might be from an less than level surface. The lace is pretty ingenious really, but I don't know if they all come that way. The tent covers a decent amount of space and fits well over a fairly deep fruit bowl I have on my counter. It's plenty strong for the purpose, but don't try to use this for anything more rigorous than repelling gnats ! (i.e. catching minnows, sifting flour ? LOL). But the mesh and the product work exactly as I wanted and expected. They collapse easily for storage. Very useful, product design cannot be improved! November 1, 2016 I researched food covers, and I think the mesh ones are the best. The only ones more aesthetically pleasing are glass, which suffocates the food, and metal colander types, which allow the fruit-flies in, or rattan domes---which allow some bugs in as well. The mesh keeps everything out and allows the food to breathe and not "cook" under a glass dome. I like that these are all white and not the bright colors which don't go with EVERYONE'S decor. Someday I may get smaller versions of these domes, and maybe a super large one, but these right now are the perfect size to cover most dishes you will need these for. I personally think they don't look that great, but I have to give five stars because I can't think of a way to improve upon the existing design. These mesh covers even fold away for storage---what a huge help. And of course, these are designed to protect and preserve food, which they do a great job of and who doesn't need that?! I use them if I cut up a watermelon in my house and snack on it over time, and I will be using these at my next outdoor picnic. These resolved a huge issue with bugs, very well, and I'm grateful for that!!! Great for my sunflower sprouts May 10, 2014 Birds love to devour my sunflower sprouts! So, I cover the trays with these and voila, no birds! I will be getting more of these to keep the fruit flies away from my ripening fruits. Easy to store when undone. Does not take much space at all. Great for the summer to keep the bugs off your food while eating outdoors January 23, 2013 I purchased these in the summer last year. I think becauseit was such a hot summer we had a real problem with flies. We also had a hornet nest somewhere nearby but couldn't find the source. We like to have a lot of parties outside and these screens where prefect for keeping the bugs away from the food. Everyone complimented the great idea and wanted to know where I got them. They are a nice size so you can cover a pretty large plate of food. | 49% No more Bugs September 19, 2017 Great way to keep those annoying bugs off your food when serving and eating outdoors Completely satisfied with it May 10, 2016 The product I received is exactly the same product as described and as pictured. Completely satisfied with it. Yes, it is very thin and lightweight and could blow away in a strong wind, but so will paper napkins. If you're concerned, drape a folded towel over the top (as I've done) to hold it in place. No, it is not bear proof, but it is great for keeping fly's and meat bee's off the food, Same for leaves, etc. I've used similar products and, with reasonable care, they will last through many uses. Excellent Product!! July 3, 2015 This tent was everything during an outdoor graduation cookout for my daughter. It covered a table of food successfully keeping flies and other creatures out and away from the food. Delivery was excellent! Simply Beautiful!! May 9, 2015 There's nothing worse then getting flies on your food. But more so the one I got was so beautiful I couldn't believe that it was made for covering food. It was more like lace.. very pretty. I use them for my cakes. OMG I Love it! August 22, 2013 Everyone at my BBQ Loved My cover and asked me where I got it, So be prepared to sell more and stock up so you have them for all my relatives that are looking for them on Amazon... lol Thanks so much~ Finally a Net That works and covers all The food at once~~~Great Transaction! Good Product June 28, 2013 I ordered the food umbrella for my evening, garden wedding. I used it to cover a 1/2 sheet layer cake. It was definitely big enough if then some... If you do a lot of picnics or barbecues this is a must have - order a few! Well worth the 14 bucks. | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Four Star Reviews: | 17% These things are SUPER CHEAP QUALITY January 13, 2017 These things are SUPER CHEAP QUALITY. YOu'll have to fuss with them, because they kinda just come apart, but you get what you pay for. seriously. They get the job done for what they are, and I'm glad I had them at my outdoor party. Not as flighty as the large ones, these did ... August 4, 2016 Not as flighty as the large ones, these did fly even after trying to "anchor" them. A true test will have to be when it's not so windy. Keeps Flies Out! November 22, 2015 I have been looking for these forever! Of course, I find them here on Amazon as they seem to have everything you could possibly be looking for! These are definitely on the cheaper side as far as their construction but I think they will do the job. I look forward to using them when we are hanging out during summer barbecues in our backyard! Excellent Product for Keeping Flying Things At Bay August 3, 2015 Love Them!Sizes: sizes were as described. Square shaped. Dome extends very high very quickly so it goes nicely over large salad bowls without the netting hitting the side of the bowl. This is important because if you have serving spoons, they can rest in the container without impacting the netting. The nets also lay flat on a flat surface, fairly snug, so nothing was able to blow or craw under the net.Very easy to use. Just pull the string and voila! folds nicely and stores nicely. I had to wash them and washed easily, no staining.CON: as a four pack, i would have liked it if the set came in a re-usable bag or pack for easy storage and keeping them together. But that's nothing major. They are light and in heavy wind, they can fall over, but anything this small will tip over. Decent plate cover for the price...love the collapsability feature February 14, 2015 I am a little disappointed with the quality of the product. I was expecting these to be a little heavier. For the price, they shld be fine. We only recently discovered there was even such a product. They come in super handy when grilling out in the summer & camping. They arrived in a timely manner. the others work just fine. The design looks to be white mesh but ... August 9, 2014 The first tent broke as I put it up; however, the others work just fine. The design looks to be white mesh but there is a small print/detail on it. Looks fine and does not bother me at all but wanted to pass that info on. | 16% Four Stars August 24, 2017 They are what they are. But they're cheap and have a decorative lace trim. Kinda old ladyish they were appreciated! August 3, 2017 these work well , perhaps a little bit flimsy to open and close. lots of coverage area and height. They were really a life saver at the pic nic keeping flies off of the salad and meat trays. Kept our food safe from flies and yellow jackets September 22, 2016 These things have saved several picnics and camping mealtimes for me and my friends/family. Summertime is always great weather for being outdoors, but with it come flies and yellow jackets. These food tents kept everything covered and safe from flying insects. The key is just making sure the sides are all touching the table, so that there isn't room for anything to sneak in. If you use them right, they work really well. Great to cover food / drink while outdoors August 3, 2015 They work perfectly as described. I agree with several reviewers that it is not intuitive for how to open and close the mesh nets, but once you figure it out they are very easy to operate. Couple of pointers on what could make this product even better 1) There are tiny gaps at the bottom rim of the mesh, all around. A determined insect could find it's way into the mesh through those gaps! 2) The bottom rim could have been provided a better / heavier lining - this would have made it look better, and also added some weight to the whole mesh cover. All in all, for this price, it meets my needs perfectly yes, I needed it to keep stink bugs off ... May 1, 2015 yes, I needed it to keep stink bugs off my fruit; although the bottom all around does not fit snug to the surface it is on, so far no stink bugs which are numerous in our area & in our home have not yet got to the fruit this week. Thankful that I found these & ordered them. They are also the right size to fit my upper bar area of our Island in our kitchen where we place our fruit. | 14% Need weights August 3, 2017 Yes there're light weight so I added weights to them using a barrel swivel you can fine at a fishing store. So you sew barrel On first then you can put on how heavy of weight you what so it doesn't blow away. If weights are too heavy just watch when you pick it up It's good for keeping things covered September 27, 2016 It's good for keeping things covered. Just a little bulky. Don't know where to put it when I take it off the food. This food cover was large enough to cover the trays ... July 3, 2016 This food cover was large enough to cover the trays on the table. This really helped by having the food visible and protected. Good with some issues August 18, 2015 Big enough to fit over a whole table. Problem is, once up it keeps collapsing to one side. I may have to tweak the wires a bit to get it to stay like it's supposed to | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Three Star Reviews: | 15% I'm sure these umbrella tents would be useful if we were at a location away from our ... November 9, 2015 We purchased these, but never used them, after discovering the Flies Be Gone fly traps, which worked perfectly. I'm sure these umbrella tents would be useful if we were at a location away from our own home, which didn't have the fly traps. The FOOD COVER that doesn't COVER. September 4, 2015 The netting is a good idea. It is unfortunate that the material does not reach the very bottom of the wire frame. It allows a sizable slit at the bottom for the flies to enter. Better construction is needed. They're fine for what it is June 10, 2015 A bit flimsy. One was actually torn even though it was brand new. They're fine for what it is, but I wish they weren't as flimsy. Just okay October 26, 2014 They work to protect the food during a cookout, but they are a bit flimsy. One of the broke before I was able even to use it. | 11% It works well and is easy to store September 5, 2017 It works well and is easy to store, but the design is a little different than shown on the product pictures. The bottom is rimmed with lace which makes this look like it belongs on my grandmother's coffee table. I find that look cheesy and would not have bought it had I known. I would recommend this for anyone needing to protect food it comes ... August 19, 2017 I would recommend this for anyone needing to protect food it comes in handy to keep flies off in or out of the house Cheap, has frills, shipped slowly from China October 24, 2016 These are cheap and took like 3 weeks to ship (from China.) Also, they have frills on the bottom. They look like cheap parasols for a baby doll for a 3 year old child. I'll keep them but I doubt they will last us very long, and I feel a little silly with the frills. You get what you pay for... October 16, 2016 These are ok. They work, but they are definitely flimsier than I had expected. I have to open and close them very gently so that I make sure I don't bend the metal or tear the mesh. So far they are holding up with gentle use, but I don't anticipate them lasting very long. Seem Fragile But Time Will Tell October 1, 2016 Lace trimmed food cover xs two making them an inexpensive way to protect food outdoors and fruit flies indoors. Fold and pop up like an umbrella with ease. Easy storage/small footprint in drawer. Great for camping/RV. Not having used this product yet I am giving it a 3 star rating. Hopefully they will last but the price is right however they came from China and took the usual time to travel to their destination. The listing did not have country of origin.. | 12% Garden use September 10, 2016 I actually used this in the garden to cover some seedlings. Worked pretty well until they grew over 2 feet high. Giant umbrella! July 21, 2016 This thing is enormous! It looked a bit small in the photo but when it arrived today we unfolded it and it is giant! Works just like an umbrella! Going to be great for our party picnic! Okay as long as you don't overpay. July 6, 2015 This item is much larger than I expected, but I suppose that is my fault for not paying closer attention to the dimensions which are provided in the description. I can see it being helpful for covering a food display/buffet, but there won't be much (if any) room to also sit and eat at that table and as we purchased this for camping, that could be a potential problem. The product I received was slightly different than the picture in that it was more of a white lace than netting. The other packaging was rather dusty though the product was fine and clean, though there are two smallish holes in the netting. This is "you get what you pay for" so I wasn't expecting much more and at $8 I am sure I'll find it useful on one of the side tables or such, but at a price any more than that I would not feel the quality or functionality would warrant the price. Shipping was prompt and within the window provided. The Seller did an excellent job of having them delivered on time and the ... July 8, 2014 I ordered 2 of these Giant Tabletop Food Covers for a large 4th of July party that I was throwing.The Seller did an excellent job of having them delivered on time and the items worked well for that day, Unfortunately, they are very flimsy and upon attempting to close them they both broke. They are excellent for use of coverage as a lot of items will fit under them. However, they probably will only last one or possibly two uses. Giant Outdoor Tabletop Food Cover May 16, 2014 I gave this only 3 stars because, we had a hard time getting this to stay in place over the food we had at our outdoors party.This is a VERY GOOD IDEA, don't get me wrong, I am still very happy I did purchase this Giant Food Cover.I just could not get it to stay in place because I was trying to put this over our "Inflatable Salad Bar", that held our cold foods. average May 5, 2014 I purchased 4 of these food covers for a block party, they aren't good quality, The vendor charged $4.49 shipping for an item that was $5.99. I assumed that I would be charged a one time charge of $4.49 for the shipment but was charged $18.00 in shipping for 4 items totaling $24.00. The items were in plastic bags and taped together for shipping. 2 of the tops of the covers poked through the plastic. I would look for a better value next time. | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Two Star Reviews: | 4% They are the perfect size, however August 25, 2014 Bought some else where in the beginning of summer. Have been using all summer. Ordered these because I wanted some more in a a smaller size. They are the perfect size, however, one of the four broke first time using. Quality is just not there. | 10% Fragile October 31, 2016 They are a good size but are pretty fragile. If you know how to work them and can be careful they are great, but unfortunately my wife broke one and my kid bent the other all in one day. It sticks out like a sore thumb June 6, 2016 Ummmm, I broke the first one before I realized I had to pull the string. I order so much online when I get boxes in I rarely look at instructions.... It's cheaply made and very fragile. Kind of large wish it were taller and not so long.... It sticks out like a sore thumb....only reason I gave it two stars is because the first one broke within seconds of being open... My fault most likely for not reading instructions... And also because there's still a gap at the bottom where fruit flys could still get in. Very disappointed. Very cheaply made November 9, 2015 Very disappointed. Very cheaply made. The netting on one was also torn slightly. Not enough to matter or send back. Just totally disappointed. So light weight the wind will blow these off the food unless I use something else to hold it down. Don't recommend. | 9% Came broken September 20, 2016 Came with 1 bracket broken. It still was able to do the job, but I would look at a different on for the price. first time opening it up, it was so flimsy ... August 25, 2016 first time opening it up, it was so flimsy that it bent. I had a hard time straightening it out. Once bent, it doesn't cover all the food very well anymore. It should've been made a lot stronger. It broke September 16, 2015 Straight out of the package I opened it up and it broke. We were able to prop it open for the picnic but it will go in the trash now. NOT AS ADVERTISED. May 5, 2014 I should have pay attention to the reviews. This item was not that costly but the other reviews were right when they said it really does not keep insects out. There is no way it could keep insects out. There is a huge gap at the bottom for insect to crawl through. Covers a really large area but can be made to last longer August 13, 2013 I liked the fact that this food cover keeps the bugs away and it spans to cover a large area. We used this for a outdoor picnic and it covered three aluminum casserole pans along with a two platters. It will get the job done and it will cover almost half of a rectangular plastic/wood folding table. It collapses similar to an umbrella, but the metal is sturdy as aluminum foil! It is a great concept and idea, but poorly executed. I will look for a sturdier version and I rated two stars because we were only able to use the product one time. | 0% There are no reviews yet |
One Star Reviews: | 6% Do. Not. Bother! August 3, 2016 Oh, if I could have given this 1/4 star, I would have!! These tents were inoperable, and the one I managed to properly unfurl, was twisted so badly, it couldn't be used. This product is in no way, able to live up to the standard of most Amazon products. I would remove it from your virtual shelves immediately! Don't buy this October 20, 2015 The net was too course; fruit flies can easily get through. The mechanism is cheap and flimsy. One arrived broken. Sent everything back. Amazon was excellent processing my return. Save your money - these don't work. August 28, 2015 These are cheap - the edges don't lay flat so flies fly underneath the tent, defeating the entire purpose. | 17% terrible hard to close it May 2, 2017 awful..tried opening it...did it ..closing it back up..I bent the whole darn thing, its terrible.....was only seeing how it worked Fruit Fly Invasion September 11, 2014 I bought the screen food cover tents to cover fruit trays away from those pesky fruit flies. Due to the size of the mesh, it took only several hours for the fruit flies to enter the mesh and attack the fruit. If you want to protect food from house or garden flies or bees they would work great. But, if you want to protect your food from fruit flies, by a tent with finer mesh. Horrid product, stay clear. August 4, 2014 I have never posted a bad review of any product, but this product absolutely is horrid and not worth the three cents that it cost to package it. I bought it to keep the fruit flies away, but the holes in the net are so big that he fruit flies seem to now enjoy their snug new home more than ever - it is trapping them inside. Stay clear of this for any insects smaller than a large standard issue fly. Amazon, refund, refund!! | 16% It wasn't expensive so I tossed it in the garbage. Hopefully it was a fluke August 8, 2016 It broke upon opening for the 1st time. It wasn't expensive so I tossed it in the garbage. Hopefully it was a fluke. Poor Quality April 24, 2016 Bad quality product. The steel wire broke while I was opening it for the very first time! I emailed the seller for replacement or refund and didn't get a response. Buyer beware! if i paid a dollar or two at the most I wouldn't feel so stupid. April 30, 2015 overpriced...i have others from other makers...assumed they are all the same...they aren't....big mistake on my part...i can't imagine this lasting very long at all....if i paid a dollar or two at the most I wouldn't feel so stupid. I would not recommend this item at all July 6, 2014 Product was very inferior. I open it for the first time on july 5th. It was damaged before the wrapping was open. I would not recommend this item at all. | 0% There are no reviews yet |
