My sons and I camped in this tent for a weekend. It rained hard one morning yet everything inside remained dry. The next night it got down to 31...the wind kicked up some and although we were chilly (probably needed one more blanket) the tent did block the breeze. I was able to put up the tent alone (I am a 5' 3" woman) in 30-40 minutes. The directions were a little tough to decipher at times but the photo on the front of the bag cleared things up and so I often referred to it. Tearing the tent down was just as easy and it all fit back in the bag. The mesh window screens seem to snag easily, causing some of the holes to stretch open a bit (and possibly let some teenie bugs in) but we did not see any. 2 queen size matresses fit inside, along with 2 copy paper size boxes of stuff, 3 duffel bags and we still had room for a few other things if we had needed it.
I bought one of these earlier this year when we were heading to the mountains with a bunch of friends, and liked it and it's easy set-up etc so much I bought a second one to have when we take larger groups camping!Great buy, we slept 7 pretty comfortably on nice air mattresses.
After one week of camping, the poles are already rusting from one day's worth of rain. At least one zipper broke on first opening of the tent. Leaks at zipper seams. Fabric is cheap quality.
This tent is a nice size and has the largest windows I've seen, but it is missing a lot of features that better tents have, such as a hinged door (better for kids) and a truly waterproof base that wraps up the sides a few inches. Most concerning was that the quality wasn't particularly good -- mine was missing some tie-downs and the seams weren't lined up right -- several inches off!
Easy to assemble. Great to have two separate rooms for when camping with other people.
This tent was not easy to put up, nor was it durable. The zipper on one of the windows was already off the hinges and the plastic holders kept breaking off. It would be a nice tent except for that. It wasn't cheap, so I thought it would last longer than using it twice....Not good for the money, that is for sure..
