After thoroughly field testing this tent, i can say that it one of the best tents Ive ever bought. Upon its arrival my friend and I set it up and little trouble. I should note however that we have previous tent and camping experience, and did not need directions. This turned out to be a good thing, because this tent doesnt come with any! Its fairly self explanatory, and we had practically no trouble until we got to the rain fly. After some trial and error, we got it up. The whole first time set up probably took 15-20 minutes. I thoroughly inspected the tent for any issues with seams/tears/ zippers and found none. The only note Id add is that the porch door has a small space where the three zippers meet where very small things could POSSIBLY get in. There is also some netting at the base of the door, which Im guessing is for rain run off, as it is slanted away from the roof. We took it down right after and packed it with no troubles, probably five minutes.
When it finally came time to go camping, the whole thing was a breeze. I had already set it uo once, and the second time went much more smoothly. We were the first of our group to get be completely set up, because 75% of there time was wasted on a complicated tent. We stayed two nights, and had zero issues. Our tent even ended up being the hangout! The zippered porch was brilliant. I can not stress that enough. We kept our coolers on it and while everyone was battling mosquitoes, we were happily munching on our breakfast. Only 2 people slept in this tent, but there was more than enough room for another couple. has never let me or my family down. And Id buy this tent again in a heartbeat.
Great Easy Setup Tent!
