Summary: Excellent value for the $$$
Comment: I decided to purchase this tent after researching several similar products from various manufacturers. My goal was to find a lightweight, inexpensive and simplistic tent to take on backpacking and biking excursions. The Wenzel Pinon definitely fit those criteria.
After purchasing this tent I was happy to see that it was very easy to setup, much like many other tents of this design. The large "D" shaped door provided adequate access for entering and exiting. The tent is definitely big enough for two campers and their gear to fit comfortably. I think that 3 people would be a little bit too snug. The mesh ceiling and side windows provided good air circulation while keeping the skeeters out at night. And the rainfly uses flexible poles to overhang the rear window and front door nicely. The zippers seem to be of decent quality and I haven't experienced any snagging issues with them yet. And the best feature over all was the price tag of only $30!!
After setting it up for the first time, I applied a few coats of seam-sealer to all of the seams. This is a MUST if you are planning on camping in rainy weather without having a tarp overhead for cover. I found this out after the first weekend I went camping with it in the Allegheny Natl Forest. It rained the entire time and I was very happy to see the seam-sealer kept the inside almost 100% dry. The only leak that I had was at the lower corner of the door zipper. But for the price of the tent how could I complain about that?!?! I highly recommend this tent for someone who is looking for a lightweight and basic tent on a budget.

Summary: My First Dome Tent
Comment: I've been hiking and camping before, but never in an enclosed tent. I've used tarp tents and open sleeping bags, but no dome tents. I ended up getting this one, and for a first one, it's a pretty good tent.
PROS:
1. Easy to set up
2. Comes in a compact size
3. Love the color
4. Nice little net at top of tent for putting a light or keys.
5. Lots of room for two people
6. Kids would love it.
7. Good price.
CONS:
1. The stakes are thin and bend easily when malleting it in the ground. I suggest getting a better quality stake set.
2. No pockets anywhere inside tent, for wallet, keys, etc.
3. Could be a little small for people over 5'10"
4. Might be a little thin and weak for harsh weather. I suggest only using for non-rainy days.

Summary: I liked my little tent
Comment: I usually camp with a huge tent, but I needed something just for me for an event I was attending. This tent was SO easy to set up. I'm not used to putting a tent up alone. I thought the tent would be too small when I put my air mattress inside, but it was just right. I wouldn't recommend this tent for 3 people though, unless you are sleeping like sardines. For one person, I fit a queen mattress inside, a cooler and my clothes. It was just right. For 30 bucks, I think it was a deal.

Summary: Nice, compact, and easy to setup
Comment: I have now used this tent a couple of times, and it is nicely lightweight, easy to setup, and has a few little extras. The pegs however could have been made from higher gauge steel, a couple bent out of shape pretty easily when going into a harder soil surface. Overall, a good buy though
