'Cosmetic rather than practical'
Strengths:
Looks good.
Available colours will match most tents.
Folds up small into it's own bag.
Weaknesses:
Not as quick to erect as the cheapo wooden pole multi-coloured wind breaks. Middle poles only have one guy line each so if the wind changes you have to move the guylines to stop the windbreak from drooping (really have to purchase a couple of extra guylines for the middle poles).
Didn't stand up to a gusty wind too well as one of the spikes on the poles snapped.

This is yet another item you have to dry out when you get home :-)
Overall:
As windbreaks go it's looks will probably outway it's practicality.
