I have been camping multiple times in this tent with my two kids. It is very easy to set up by myself and quick too. It has held up well in the rain. Not really spacious enough for more than three people though. But just right for us. Nice hanging pockets on each side for our eyeglasses and flashlights.

For such a low price, I couldn’t be happier. I used it five times last summer. It was easy to set up and tear down. The size is ideal for two people but could easily accommodate three people that don’t mind a little cuddling. It stood up to light rain well (almost no leakage) and withstood heavy rain fairly well (small amount of leakage). I recommend getting a can of the water proofing spray. You will be much happier, and drier. The last trip I took was much more pleasant after the spray.

Its a very good tent for the price. Takes only 5-10 mins to set up.
Do need to buy bigger pegs(normally costs less than a $1, 4 are needed), the ones that come along with the tent are too weak. I have tried it in light rain and it does a satisfactory job.

If it weren’t for the really low price, I would give this tent one star. I paid very little ($33) and that is what I got back. I bought two of these tents as supplemental tents for a boy scout troop. On the very first use, one zipper completely failed. Duct tape kept that door shut. A 15 mph gust of wind caused one of the fiberglass poles to break on the second day. Despite the low price, I want a tent I know I can count on for multiple uses in less than ideal conditions. I will definitely upgrade to a better value on the replacement.

I bought this tent to go to RenFest. We camped out 2 nights and it was freezing cold both nights. Once when I woke up, my fiance’s feet were wet and freezing because they had been up against the tent wall. There was dew all over the outside of the tent and every time we moved, some shook down on our faces!! I’m not talking damp, but the walls were saturated. Also, it made me nervous changing in there because i could see people through the mesh. It was just big enough to fit a queen size air mattress, but not much else. I have no idea how 3 or 4 people could fit in this. The zippers worked really well though, and the height wasn’t bad, even with a double sized air mattress.
