Ok, so I have used this tent twice. I bought it last year actually through Target as it was cheaper and on sale. Although I read the reviews and knew that the front porch area does flood when it rains, I overall really like this tent. And all my family members were jealous of it. It is spacious and fit my queen raised mattress just fine with plenty of room to spare. I can set the tent up myself, although it is much easier with someone to help with the poles on either side. It goes up in a snap though - 10-15 minutes tops. When I used it the last time, it rained literally the entire weekend. I am glad I bought some cheap towels to sop up the water that got in the screened porch area. I did not have any leaks anywhere else in the tent, but this is still annoying. I am wondering if anyone has figured out some kind of awning or canopy rig that you can use over the porch area for when you do get stuck in the rain? This is the only reason why I gave this 4 stars instead of 5. I LOVE this tent, and in nice weather it is perfect!
