This tent is pretty unsatisfactory in nearly every regard.
The material it is made out of is extremely thin and punctures / tears very easily. Simply sitting in a chair on the porch area of the tent is nearly enough to put a hole in the tent. And this is a chair with rubber feet, so it wasnt metal contacting the material.
The support poles are flimsy and sound like they are about to break just applying enough pressure to connect them when setting up the tent. The locking mechanism for attaching the poles is an extremely poor design. All it is, is a little piece of metal that sticks up in the end of the pole. A huge pita when setting up because one end keeps slipping off as there is no actual locking or secure attaching mechanism.
The included stakes are nearly useless. They easily turn in the ground and allow whatever is hooked around them to slip off. Had one pull out of the ground completely in 5 mph winds. They are not thick enough, nor long enough to properly stake the tent.
Overall, this is a get what you pay for scenario. Its a cheap costing tent, and its a low quality tent. Really I feel like the $120 I paid for this is to much though for the quality. Quality wise it feels more like a $60 dollar tent. I wouldnt expect this tent to last more than 2 or 3 camping trips before its ruined.
