Just got this tent from Target the other day... Set it up all alone in the back yard in about 10-15 minutes on a clear day. It rained out with wind on the weekend, and I even hosed it down with the garden hose for about 30 minutes just to make sure I wouldn't get stuck wet in a rainstorm; and this thing is pretty much waterproof... There wasn't a drop inside... I don't even need to seam seal it!

I'm 6'3" tall and need something a bit bigger than the usual tent... That and I like to have my queen air mattress and king size sleeping bag with me and it fits them all including my luggage... But I cannot see 4 adults staying in this thing... Maybe two adults and a kid if you keep everything else in the car and still want an air mattress.

I also like that the door is offset to the side a bit, makes it easier to get in and out than one in the middle. The vents in the rain-fly are also a great idea for the warmer climates, though I would not recommend this for overly cold weather, due to not being able to zip up the mesh windows all around under the rainfly, like many other tents.. It holds up wonderfully in wind as long as you use the guy lines, though is you are going to be in winds over 15mph, you really need a three pole or more tent.

I will be using this tent a lot on group trips and geology outings when I have limited space in a vehicle. Though I love my other Coleman tent, the 10x14 foot instant tent for more extended outings and forest stays and colder weather when I have my own car on the trip.

I purchased this tent last summer for a camping trip with a large group of my friends. We had 4 tents in our group and this one proved to be one of the best. We fit 2 double air mattresses in the tent and very comfortably slept 3 (could have been 4 if needed). I will admit it was snug and most of our bags stayed in the car. Set up was easy - 2 girls set this up and we're not extremely experienced. The first night we had a BIG rain storm. We were completely dry. In tents I've stayed in before it seems no matter what you do things get damp inside - not with this one. One of the other tents in our group (nice and expensive but admittedly pretty old) failed miserably, and they were in standing water. I'm buying another one of these as a Christmas present for the girl that owned that tent.

My only complaint is that the is no possible way for the tent to fit back into the package it came in. We had a couple different people try, and it's just not going to happen! This is the only reason this didn't get 5 stars

This is a great little tent. It is easy to put up and take down. It is roomy enough for two twin size air mattresses plus room to walk between them. It fits two people comfortably. Four people in this tent would be a tight fit.

Two weeks ago I replaced my 20 years old two person tent for use of 2011 memorial day weekend. it is not only a big four person tent but also easy to set up and worked so well that I feel I have to put my review here. On second nights around 3am update NY it rained hard for few hours while I was asleep but It is completely waterproofed, amazing product, I don't do anything but slept until 7am morning and not a drip inside tent I found. I really recommend it to anyone who goes camping casual way like me in summer time, I got it in Target for $70 and well worth the money!
