This tent is not the one you will get (the orange and gray does not exist). They should have changed the website by now, but the one you will receive is the blue and white one that is lighted with a remote. We used this tent last weekend camping and liked it quite a lot. The light inside was awesome! We used the little remote feature a lot. When it rained everyone piled in our tent and we played cards using the light! We had no leakage in the tent when it rained. It is fairly easy to set up, not a lot of time. The 2 doors are a great feature tho the divider is a little cheesy and doesn't do much dividing. Overall i think this is a great tent. I wish the amazon website would say that this lighted sundome tent will be white and blue because that is the one you will get, NOT the gray and orange one. I had to send back twice to figure that out after I kept getting the blue one.

Very easy to put up. Nice windows and light. However, the first weekend we used the tent it rained and the seams leaked. Recommend using only in good weather.

I bought this tent for my family of 5 to use as we camped up the Western Coast from San Clemente, CA to Seattle, WA in the summer. After 2 weeks of camping and having reached Seattle, the tent needed to be repaired. The screen door was ripping . I returned it to Coleman and they promptly sent a brand new tent.
My next trip took place in Okinawa, Japa. We endured a 40 mph rain and windstorm. The tent proved that it was definately a 2 season tent and best used in fair weather. The fiberglass poles and tent structure cannot withstand any wind over 20 mph. The zipper is OK, but really requires a patient and careful adult touch. My kids beat the heck out of the door.
The layout, design, and comfort rating receive high marks. The tent packs up easily and is a car camping tent with no doubt. The guy lines are useful, but the fiberglass poles cannot handle any significant tension without bowing out.
In conclusion, buy this tent if you want a cheap, family camping tent for 5-7 people, but pray for nice weather because you will be blown down and wet in any rainstorm.

The tent was really spacious and comfortable. We didn't seal it until the second night, but it didn't leak at all. The zippers on the doors are a little stiff, hopefully they'll loosen up. We loved the light up top, and the little 'kitty flap' on the side as well. The door mats are a bit useless though, and we bought new stakes as well.
Really happy with the purchase!
