Summary: our new favorite tent...
Comment: Just the right size for two ;-) (we like some space). Very easy set up - I did it the first time by myself in less than 15 minutes. very comfortable with the air vents. and the "doggie doors" were an added convenience.
i was a little worried because even though it says the seams are sealed, i wasn't very trusting... but, no worries!! we had NO water issues inside the tent despite a 3 hour torrential rainstorm... and it rained like that all three days every afternoon.
also, it FITS BACK INTO THE BAG!! WOOHOO!!
i like being able to tie back the fly to air out during the day (when it wasn't raining of course). it's my new favorite tent and was also a hit with our neighbors and friends camping with us! i highly recommend it.

Summary: Roomy 4 person Family Tent
Comment: Four teenage girls used this tent the first time out. They were able to hang out, stand up, change clothes and play board games in it. You could get 5 persons in it, but you won't have much wiggle room. Without the cover, there is allot of screen. With cover on, there is plenty of light and ventilation due to all the openable options. There was no rain, so that condition was not tested.
It was very easy to set up (harder to take down and pack it back in the bag).
All in all, it is a great tent.

Summary: Easy set-up, nice features
Comment: This tent might be hard to set up with one person, but I was able to set it up easily with my six-year-old helping.
Very nice size -- can hold a family of six, although six adults would be tight.
Different from some other models, it allows for a lot of ventilation with the rain fly on, because you can unzip the rainfly at all three windows.
Not much privacy with the rainfly off, though.
Some nice features, such as a light, cupholders, and little doors on the side of the main door to retrieve or place items outside.

Summary: EASY set up, Lot of room.
Comment: I am new to camping and had never set up a tent before. Set this one up in the back yard with help of one other person. Easy!!! Next I set it up by myself - no problems. Tent is light weight, designed just right to make it possible for one person (even me!) to set up and take down without any problems. It is a pretty tent (important ot us girls), lots of ventilation, and it is nice to be able to stand up. However, I don't like the idea of sleeping on top of other people (unless I know them really well). This tent is very comfortable for two adults, OK for three, and cramped with 4.

Summary: Would have been a 5 if the zipper didn't break
Comment: We've had this tent since 2005 and used it over 30 times in the past few years - with no problems - until now. The main door's zipper would not stay sealed even though it is suppose to self repair. We don't use the storage lockers except as "doggie doors" by our 3 dogs. We sleep in 2 twin sized air mattresses on the outer wings of the tent and leave the middle for gear, dogs, and table with light.
I have no problem setting up the tent myself without my husbands help - here is the trick: (not for windy situations)
1. Thread through both blue tent poles just until they reach one end where you can put the pin in, and stake those into the ground.
2. Push against the staked end and lift until the poles arch upward.
3. Put the pins in, and continue with the yellow poles and clips.
I am considering the newer tent as a replacement; however the model I have has a skylight and different rain fly - I would rather just have our zipper fixed.
