Big tent. with a very nice netted porch. It is simple to set up with only 4 poles including the rain fly. We set it up and used it with a queen air mattress which left plenty of walkway. the tent is a dome but has a very nice hiegth for a couple 57 individuals. Over all we bought this without the research that we normally do and was pleasantly surprised it worked out very well and will be able to use this for years to come. The floor is all one piece which makes it so there is easy set up and not multiple pieces to set up or put together. It still has the anchor points with string/rope that tents have and we plan on using the instructions suggestion and get some bright color and/or reflective ribbon to tie onto the tie downs for less tripping and less risk of ripping the tent.
I set up in the rainy day, in the morning find out there is water in each corner of tent. Water droplets in the floors everywhere. Have to return it after I come back.
With a little practice and a couple small pieces of duct tape to hold the pole socket on the anchor pin, the tent is easy for one person to put up... In the Rocky mountains, it is possible to tolerate being inside it in full sun. Poles are long and very flexible. Overall its a light weight tent with comfortable room for at least 4 cots... Put the drunk guy on the porch and you got 5 cots...
Its a tent. Served its purpose. Sets up like a tent. No tears or holes. It didnt rain so I cant comment on that. I hate camping and will never go again.
I absolutely love this tent, it is perfect for our needs. I ordered the eight person, it is roomy enough for a queen air bed, our large sized dog, and our gear. It was easy to set up, especially with two people. I would recommend this tent
We put this tent to the test on its maiden voyage. Our family of four and the dog went to a three day off roading rally in Southern Vermont. The set up is easy and quick. Loved the little mud room space before you get in the main room. We brought a rug and used it to keep our shoes lined up. The dog thought that was his room at night. The sleeping area was big enough for a queen sized mattress and a twin sized mattress to lay in. We knew weather was coming in on the first full day there so decided to throw our clothing and most of our bedding in the car on our way out to the trails. We returned to camp about 4 hours later when the storm had just started. It was an incredible, fast moving, heavy wind, rain and lightning storm. It was raining so hard the windshield wipers couldnt keep up. We were in our car watching tents being thrown and pop up tents being twisted and crushed. It was at that point I remembered leaving the feather bed in the tent with the blow up mattress and assumed it was a total loss. I will say that we used all the stakes and the fly as well as bringing a waxed ground cloth for the tent to sit on. I also will tell you that I drove one of my tires onto a section of the tent so it didnt fly away.
When the storm finally passed and we emerged form our rig the destruction around us looked as though a small hurricane had ripped through our campground.
People lost everything. People gave up and left. Not us. Not our tent. There was a little mud splash where my tire had been, the bottoms of the mattresses had a few spot of water, the feather bed was completely fine.
No rips, not tears, no destruction. We have two more rallys this fall and are super thankful to have such a sturdy tent to bring along.
My boyfriend and I bought this tent for a weekend camping trip. There was some positives and negatives to it. Some positives: the screen porch is nice, it is a roomy tent, and it stayed dry.
Some negatives: there is no electrical hole, my hair kept getting caught in the zipper, the zipper kept getting caught on the fabric making it hard to shut, and the how the step inside and the door are you have to crouch down which can be annoying.

Its the bees knees
It is easy to set up and the screened in porch is amazing
HUGE tent. Bigger than it looks!
Clean, easy to setup and use. Easy to put away. Comfy. Seems durable. Buy or make a set of good stakes - other than that it loves up to the name.
This tent works like a tent should
