Excellent tent with lots of space.
My husband and I bought this recently for a glamping trip with our friends and it was perfect. It comfortably fit both of our oversized cots, all of our gear including a dog bed, with lots of room to move around. It ended up raining unexpectedly while we were out and the tent stayed completely dry. My only complaint about this tent is it is a bit tedious to set up due to the size, however I think now that the guy lines are attached to it, future setups will be much faster. The tent itself went up fast, but the rainfly takes some time.One of the best features of this tent is hands down that full rainfly though, and how it sits on this tent. The engineering of this tent is top notch. The rainfly is a good 6" above the mesh of the ceiling, which helps minimize condensation and improve ventilation. We camped in 25F temps and when I woke up the next morning the tent was an ambient 50F, so it trapped heat much nicer than we had expected it to with the tall ceilings. (We had two adult humans and a golden retriever.) This might be a negative if camping in the height of summer, but in that case I'd just open the rainfly/tent more to allow air to flow through. We also had zero condensation on the tent walls, though there was a bit of condensation on my cot underside, so I know it did trap some moisture.Overall, we absolutely love this tent. It was a hit with all of our friends as well, with one of our friends planning to buy one just like it for himself. If you're looking for a big spacious car camping tent, this is a great choice.

Large tent
Good sized tent for me. It accommodates a twin mattress that is 20 inches tall and a table to hold a microwave as well as a camp chair. It has an electric port for an extension cord. I like the large gear bag for the wall. It has a hook at the top for a lantern or fan. I found this very quick to put up, however the poles are hard for me to stretch out to snap in place. I finally needed to unhock the sides from the pole to get them in place. Afterwards, I reattached the sides. I found the rain fly easy to attach once I got two of the corners attached. Then I could pull the fly to the other side for attaching. I'm 81 years ols and could errect it alone. It's very easy to take down but I bought a larger bag for it because the original was too small once the tent hade been set up once. I also bought quick release straps to fasten around it. It's a nice light weight. The design is quite functional.

Great investment!!
Very spacious, it fits my queen size air mattress with a lot of extra space. Really really easy to set up as well, putting it away is just as easy. I also spent 2 nights in the rain and stayed completely dry, there was also no bugs getting inside at all, even with having all the windows open.

Perfect tent!
We are very pleased with this tent. Set up is easy, takes just a few minutes. It kept us warm & dry in a steady rain in 40 degree weather. We have run a little electric space heater inside it with no condensation build up…the top is well ventilated to allow air escape even with the rain fly on. We did spray the entire tent with scotch guard before our trip…it took 4 cans for the entire tent. We have had no water leakage in the tent. It easily sleeps 4 people with 2 cots and a queen air mattress, plus a small table for items. We love this tent and are looking forward to many more camping trips in it!

Excellent
It is very easy to set up, take down was also very easy. Was able to experience some strong winds and rain and seems waterproof. Extremely big but overall a great tent for anyone. Would definitely recommend.

What a great tent!!
We are a large family (2 adults 5 kids) and needed a tent that could house us all now that our older two are in their teen years. Boy, did this tent deliver!I was a bit weary of the “instatent” aspect because I’ve camped in pole tents my entire life. Some of the reviews were concerning and gave me pause but I am grateful I gave it a chance. It took my husband and I twenty minutes to put it up the first time. We get faster each time we do it and continue to marvel how simple it is to both set and tear down this tent. We are down to about 5 minutes.As for people complaining about a tablespoon of rain getting into their tent….COME ON!! You’re in a tent! No tent is completely rain proof. We survived two thunderstorms that were quite violent (30 mph winds, thunder lightning, driving rain). We had to put the rainfly on in the dark because the rain wasn’t forecast therefore was a complete surprise. However, due to the simplicity of how you put it on and that we practiced putting it on, we had no problems getting it on.What we liked about the tent:* It’s huge! My husband is 6’3” and dome tents are a pain for him since he has to continually stoop.* The air vents are amazing for air flow. Even when it rained we stayed dry but we’re able to maintain adequate airflow so we didn’t get stifling hot with the windows closed.* The amount of windows in this tent is amazing. I especially love the screened ceiling. Star gazing is quite a thing in this tent.*Once you figure it out and practice set up and tear down are SO easy!!! One word of caution: MIND YOUR FINGERS!! My husband got his caught in the central hub the first time we tore this down and it got smashed pretty hard.* Other than the Tbsp of water that got in from the gap in the T door (which I think is an acceptable amount from a violent storm in a tent) we stayed bone dry!* I had concerns about the integrity of the structure due to the bed reviews I read. However, I can tell you that this tent will stand up to strong winds. This is a strong tent.What could be improved:*The front T door zipper is kind of a let down. Where the three zippers come together at the bottom leaves a gap (see pic). They did a nice job providing flaps that should cover the gap so water doesn’t get in (spoiler alert: it does but only about a tablespoon or so). However, the flap does nothing to address the issue of unwanted guests. This was blatantly obvious to me when we set it up at home before taking it out. During this trip, I sprayed it with bug spray which kind of worked (ants still got in). I am thinking about zip tying all three zippers together and finding some way of just sealing that hole permanently so it’s one giant window unless I can find another way to fix this.* The rainfly straps hook onto the pole under the green lock/collapse button. During the second thunderstorm, the wind pushed the strap around the rest on top of that button collapsing that pole mid storm. Perhaps putting that button on the underside of the pole is a more appropriate location?*This tent does come with what we call “flimsy ass stakes.” We bought beefier stakes for the tent as we found the extra cost saved us in energy and frustration. (Hint, use the cheap stakes for other things like staking your collapsible garbage can).*While putting the tent away and into its bag, one of the clips had a piece break off (see pic). It still clips and holds but, this is a new clip and shouldn’t be breaking like that already. Thumbs down!Since this was our first outing, I am somewhat limited in experience with this tent. I will add/edit this review as I used this tent further.
