Very roomy tent...lots of air flow. Only give it 3 stars because its missing a toggle to secure the screen doors back...one side has it and the other doesnt but the picture shows both sides pulled back
The good:
1. I loved the front porch part of this tent...I stored our chairs and coolers and such there. Plenty of room for everything, plus extra space. It was also nice to have a place to wipe feet and take shoes off before going into the main part if the tent. Kept the main part really clean (if youre a clean freak like me you will like that part).
2. It seemed to be a sturdy tent that easily fit my large cot plus two sleeping bags with pads with enough room left over to fit another cot or air mattress (but there would be much less walking room).
The bad:
1. It did NOT fit back in the bag! JUST MAKE THE BAG BIGGER. Its a simple solution that very few companies do and I dont understand it.
2. There were NO zipping windows. The main part of the tent where you sleep has 3 open screened areas that started about halfway up the tent. This was an issue because if you want to change or need any privacy you have to put the rain fly on....which then makes the tent a lot more hot!!! This ended up being the main reason I returned the tent.
I really do think I will like this tent, IF I can set it up alone. I took it out about an hour from home without setting it up at home first because the weather was so hot (mid-Atlantic August). Big mistake because I could not figure out how to get all the poles in the little holders at the same time and raise the middle by myself. It being 100 degrees or so, I almost passed out and went home. I will update this when I try again in October, after figuring out how to do it. I want the solo outdoor time, and my brother is going to help figure out how to do it.
It is perfect! I only give it 4 stars because when it rains it still rains on the screened in area and the stakes that come with it arent very great so the tent did fall over once. But with better stakes it is perfect!
It was a great tent for a family four with plenty of room. We used four cots and we still have plenty of room for our stuff. It rained the first time we used it and we were comfortably dry inside. I liked that it had the screened front it kept the inside tent clean and dry. We set a small table and chairs and it served as our front porch. Easy to set up and take down for storage too.
Tent has been set up a total of 4 days, one of the poles has already snapped. Not even windy. Called for a replacement and they dont do that, only willing to send a pole repair kit. If it was within the return window it would definitely be going back.
Great size for two adults and two kids. Screen room came in handy for shoes and our dog to sleep in. There are holes on the bottom back corners of the screen room, (in case it rained?) big enough for bugs to enter.
This tent is definitely NOT a four season tent. The back of the tent is mostly open mesh as are the air vents on top. There is no way to close any of them. It is fairly easy to erect. The screened porch is not a good feature in the event you encounter rain during your camping trip. The rain comes in and puddles on the floor of it so you are constantly tracking water into the interior of your tent. I wont have to worry about any of these shortcomings anymore because it was destroyed by a violent storm during my camping trip last week.
Just as promised, no leaks in 2 wind/rain/hailstorms with 20mph winds at 8200 ft in Colorado. Not that quick a set-up: took about 30-40 minutes from bag to done. Get heavier duty stakes than those supplied and a car window squeegee to pull the water over to the floor drain mesh in the screen porch. It will accumulate at the door entrance if you are pitched with the screenroom on the uphill side of the slant. You have to be kinda short to stand in the middle of the tent and forget standing if you have a queensize inflatable mattress in there.

No luck setting it up alone yet

Great tent at affordable price.

Pole snapped

Solid tent, nicely priced
Great size for two adults and two kids. Screen room came in handy for shoes and our dog to sleep in. There are holes on the bottom back corners of the screen room, (in case it rained?) big enough for bugs to enter.

NO LEAKS! Great value.
