2.0 out of 5 stars Huge tent, not user friendly, July 7, 2005

This review is from: Swiss Gear 2-Room Eight-Person Square Dome Tent (Sports)
When we received the tent, since it was bigger than any tent we had ever owned, we decided to set it up in our yard to test it before our big camping trip the following week. The first thing we noticed was that the poles were super heavy-duty which made them very difficult to bend through the fabric to secure the tent. They were so thick in fact that when we tried to bend the first one, instead of breaking the fiberglass pole, it bent the aluminum connector area and then broke completely through. We tried fixing it with the infamous duct tape and set it up as best we could. We decided to let it stay up overnight to make sure it would be okay, and it's a very good thing we did. In the morning it was flat on the ground. I'm very glad that we made the decision to set it up before taking children on a "fun camping trip" where they would probably have ended up very scared of camping in the future! Now we have a giant tent with no support poles, and another new smaller tent with support poles that work just fine!

2.0 out of 5 stars Roomy... poor quality, September 5, 2007
This review is from: Swiss Gear 2-Room Eight-Person Square Dome Tent (Sports)
The tent is generally OK, but the poles are awful. One ferrule started to bend after the first use and I had to hammer it back into place. The second trip was OK but on the third trip, yet another ferrule disconnected and had to be re-crimped to work it. So with only three camping trips, I had trouble on two of them. Tried to get the poles replaced only to find out that the warranty only covers 'manufacturing defects.' You get to pay for shipping to send your poles to them and they'll tell you whether it's a real problem or not. Just getting a replacement pole was going to cost me almost fifty percent of the original price. Save your money with this company.
