I ordered this baby for a low low amazon.com price after spying it on a deal site. I just felt like I needed a tent, a good bachelor preparedness tool. When it arrived I immediately pitched it indoors because I am an idiot. It is plenty big and you can set it up in about 2 minutes.
When I was a little kid and was way into camping, the cheapest tent you could buy cost you 25 bucks, and that was the one I had. This one is 100X better than the tents of yesteryear. Techmology, I loves it.
If amazon.com was a person, I would ask it to make out with me. 5 stars

I've been camping a few times in the past few months. This tent has been of great value:

* easy to assemble/dis-assemble - This tent is remarkably easy to assemble, it took a friend and myself about 15 minutes the first time. And I've had my share of tents that would refuae to stay up even after spending an hour on them. This is the most attractive feature of this tent for me.

* Quite sturdy and weather-proof too - The manufacturer has given nails which can be used to hold the tent down. I've run into rain twice with these tents, and not had a problem either time. There are mesh flaps on the side and at the top which let air in on a clear night, but they can be covered up to keep the rain out.

* It holds three adults and it has ample space for two.

I'd completely agree with one of the other reviewer's remarks about the tiny bag that the tent comes in. It took us more than 20 mins just to squeeze the tent back into that small bag. But you could instead easily use the carton the tent in for holding the tent.

I would certainly recommend this for campers. 4 stars

I bought this tent for a camping trip in the Adirondacks. It held up well during a whole day of heavy downpours. There were a few drops of water that somehow seemed to make their way through both the rain tarp and the mesh of the actual tent itself, so that every few minutes, water drops would fall on us. But for the price, I can't complain. The top half of the actual tent itself is mostly made of a mosquito mesh like material. So you definitely need to put the rain tarp over it if you think it might rain. If you want some sun, just take off the tarp, and the sun will shine right through.

This is not a backpacking tent. It is too big and heavy to carry as a back country tent. For those situations you might want to look for a lighter model. But if you are camping close to your car, this is great.

There is no separate ground tarp. The bottom of the tent is designed to be a ground tarp. I wish more tents would do this. The tent is big enough for five people to hang out in it and play cards. Four people can also lie down in it with their sleeping bags, but it's a cozy fit. This is a free standing tent. This means you don't need to use guy wires to keep it standing, though they are provided to give your tent more rigidity.

The bag that the tent came with is absolutely too small. Once you take it out of the bag, there is no way you can get it back in the bag. Trust me. I tried rolling the tent, folding the tent, crumpling the tent, but no matter what, it is impossible to get it back into the tent bag. I ended up using one of those canvas bags you get when you buy folding beach chairs.

Overall, I recommend it for those of you who like to camp close to their car or camper, where size or weight isn't an issue. 4 stars

The mesh square is a gear loft, it gives you a place to put a flashlight, your glasses (if you wear such), your wallet, etc. Its a nice feature if floor space is tight. 4 stars

Overall, the tent was easy to put up. We are happy with it's appearance and structure. It fit my 4 year old, 7 year old and myself nicely and we could have fit Dad in there too even though it may be a tight squeeze. For the price, it is great for us to have as a backyard tent. Only downfall, it comes nicely packed in a LITTLE pull string bag. After taking down the tent, we tried 3 times to wrap that thing as tightly as we could and STILL couldn't get it back in the bag. I advise that you keep the box it comes in so you can just store the rolled up tent in that if you can't fit it into the bag! A question for anyone who has this tent, there is a square mesh piece with hooks. The only place we could find to put it was inside the tent at the peak of the ceiling where there were 4 loops. WHAT is that for?? 4 stars
