Customers are mixed about the quality of the tent. Some mention that it's a good quality tent, with good material. They say it held up very well in the bad rain and wind that hit them during a camping trip. However, some say that the tent is starting to come apart at the floor seem and completely broke in two when they tried to put it up during o camping trip, with the floor ripping twice.

Customers have mixed opinions about the ease of setup of the tent. Some find it fairly easy to set up with 2 people, and not hard to build the windows on the sides and the one on the front. However, others say it's incredibly difficult, and the set-up instructions are lacking.

28 customers mention10 positive18 negative

Customers are mixed about the waterproofness of the tent. Some mention it stays dry with rain, while others say it would run off the rain fly, down the tent wall, and seep in through the bucket seems. The tent must be staked up tightly or the rain will pour into the tent, and the back pop out storage area also collected rain.

"...Small amount of water made it in, a couple of towels easily resolved the situation, and they didn't even get soaked...." Read more

Customers are mixed about the appearance of the tent. Some mention it's a great looking tent with lots of space, and they love the A-frame roof. However, some say the overall design leaves much to be desired, and the shape is odd.

"spacious and *nice*. but there is no flap to cover the zippers, so water pours in through the front zipper in the rain...." Read more

Customers are dissatisfied with the leakage of the tent. They mention that it leaks at seams and zippers, and some of the windows and door leak. The storage compartments at the back leak and soak everything that was stored. Some complain that the zipper keeps opening even when it is zipped up.

Excellent tent but a seem rip after 4 uses.
Update: I've used the tent 4 times since I purchased it in 2017. The tent is starting to Come apart at the floor seem. I always tarp the ground before placing the tent down. I keep the tent clean. I just use a moist towel to clean it inside and out. Not sure how this would stand up to an avid camper.Easy to assemble. Durable and spacious. 2 room design allows guests to change or privacy as there is a zipper wall. Whole roof is mesh with rain fly. Has extender floor windows/lockers at the bottom that unfold and sit outside the tent. Allows for ventilation and storage of items outside so they are out of the way. Great tent but if you get water or dirt in tent you can't push it out. Must be picked up. At no point do you ever have to duck while walking around inside the tent. Ceiling height is more then generous.There are more air vents/screen windows then you could ever want. Tent doesn't get hot unless you use rain fly. With fly on its still very comfortable.Tips. See diagram. Lay out parts and put all poles together put angled plastic pieces on top(metal rings up.) of upright poles. Unfold tentInsert 3 bent ridge poles into front,back and middle sleeves while keeping tent flat on ground.Start on front or back and Add straight poles with metal rings up to each bent ridge pole (Rain fly will attach to metal rings later). Make sure to push strait poles through ties on side before connecting to ridge poles. Pull on string to raise that side. Now stake it down. Bottom of straight pole goes through loop at bottom of tent with pin going inside pole and ring sits on bottom of pole. I disconnect ridge pole insert pin the stretch pole back into place. Repeat for other side. Rain fly attaches to ring on straight pole plus has lines to stake down for extra support as needed.Stake tent like normal. Setup is easy once you have done one pole set.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to setup, Did well in rain pourt
Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2013

Bought this a few days before camping. I didn't have time to make sure everything was in the bag or how to set it up before hand. We got to the camp site at 10PM and it took us about 45 minutes to set it up. It would have been faster had i found the instructions sooner or if it was light outside. The tent needs all the stakes in the ground first before setting up (as the instructions state). Most tents you really dont need to do this with, but this one is a must to get the sides to stand up straight. You can set this tent up with one person, but probably difficult. The tent was very roomy and had a good height (I'm 6'2 and could stand straight up in the tent with no problem). On the next day, it started raining fairly heavy for about 30 minutes. Water only got in the tent because I left one of the windows partially open. Once I closed it, we stayed completely dry. It also went through about 15MPH winds and did well once I put the remaining stakes in the ground. I'd recommend this tent to anyone.

Cons:
The stakes that came with the tent weren't the best. I'd recommend buying steel stakes with a sharper point. We were in some fairly hard dirct and the ones we had started to bend.

First off, I just want to say that this is not a all-weather or freestanding tent. It can keep dry in rain, but not rain storms. It was really easy to setup. The frame is pretty thin and without the left and right line supports probably would wobble around. It is great for the price and the best tent I have ever been in. No zipper snags the the door mat that you steak in is a nice touch. It is a cheap way to camp in luxury and can accomondate a couple king size beds if you wanted.

5.0 out of 5 stars This thing was easy to set up
Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2014
Verified Purchase
I give this tent five stars for the following reasons:

1. This thing was easy to set up. My wife and I were able to set it up within 30 minutes.

2. Excellent Material: We set this thing up in the desert, with rocks beneath us and sticks. No rips, no tears, nothing.

3. Huge: So much room, and it even came with extra storage pockets to hang our personal stuff in.

CONS:

1. Putting this tent back in its own bag is like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. We recommend buying a large duffel bag or a storage container. Is it possible to fit it back into its package? Yes, though, you will need the patience of Job to get it in there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easily fits our family of 11! Not super high quality, but for the price an excellent value!
Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2014
Verified Purchase
We have a large family so we needed something that would actually fit a large family. Many tents ADVERTISE that they are for 9, but this one actually works. We put our King blow up mattress on one side along with a pack n' play crib; plus we were able to fit shoes and two toddlers on our side. In the other "room" we put the other 6 children and we could have squeezed in more. So the "9 person" is definitely TRUE in this one. Be aware that if you are looking for a large tent, that this has straight walls which makes ALL the difference. We've even tried "12 person" tents that had arched sides and they DID NOT fit even close to 8 people!

Quality is decent enough. Not super nice but honestly for the price, who cares? It works and has some little added details that are nice: mat outside, separate room divider, nice air flow, easy set up. For the price of one large hotel room for our family, we were able to go on a vacation cross country and camp and this tent more than paid for itself. Highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars it will be an excellent investment for future fishing trips

got it for 203$ CDN !!! same tent sells for over $700 how come ?? anyway if it doesn't t leak next summer..... it will be an excellent investment for future fishing trips . ..... Seller confirmed some durable water repellent can be applied to fabric to keep it in good shape .

update may 23rd 2018:

tent set up with a friend... peg down and stretch all corners first !! center roof rib is longer don't mix it up
the tent is high so if you are short get a tall friend to install the fly on top

update june 09 2018

back from camping… held down the tent with extra cords due to strong winds but…. the rest of the week was great lots of room & used half the tent as a dining room ! with a small 4 foot folding table

no rain fell on us so I can't vouch for rain protection ...yet

I applied water repellent on the fly (roof) before heading out ... I will do side seams later
front door is exposed since there is no canopy overhanging to protect against rain Tent is immense inside with central divider

If I had to do this again I would get a tent with an overhang ...a smaller sleep area..... and a side kitchenette to cook and eat away from bug... so now...we will will bring a serarate 10x10 netted kitchen

update june 2019 :

4 days camping with major "record" rain falls falling on us 12-14 hours straight for 3 nights … NO LEAKS in the roof fantastic… small very small leakage on the front door zipper ans one side window (left) ... they got sponged up quickly. if the roof had extended a bit over the lower part of the main door zipper leakage would have been even less.

2 campers ...we used 50% of the tent as a dining room and 50% as the sleeping area .

final conclusion : great tent but our next one will have a roof extending over the main door zipper . Rain should hit the ground when it rolls off the roof fly not the tent surfaces like doors and windows which are high leak risk areas.

とにかく広いです！そして比較的たてやすい。デザインもかわいくて気に入ってます。
うちはsableエアーベッドの、セミダブルとシングル、その他簡易ベッドを入れていますがそれでも余裕あります。
フットプリントは通気孔兼荷物置き場になります。
短所としては、生地がナイロンのため、雨だと縫い目から湿る程度の水漏れがあり、防水スプレーで対応しています。また出入口部分に日差しがないので、4.5メートル以上あるタープを屋根に重なるように張って、雨避けにしています。
