This tent is poorly crafted and breaks easily. It rained while we were camping and not only did we get wet through the rain fly, but the floor actually had puddles of standing water. I have been unsuccessful in contacting the company that Amazon went through, CampingStation. They do not respond to email and you cannot call them.

This is a terrible tent!! The only thing it has going for it is that it's very big. We have a family of 5 and we were more than comfortable in the tent with all of our gear and room to spare. However, it leaks-badly even in light rain, the support poles broke, the fly is a joke, the tent was extremely difficult to set up following the awful directions, it was very shaky even when set up properly. With a slight breeze, the entire tent looked like it was going to take off because the fly is not tied down to anything. Horrible, awful, crappy tent. DO NOT BUY!!! I contacted support because we only used it for 2 seasons and the poles broke. They suggested I send the entire tent in, at my expense, and they would evaluate it. Needless to say, it's now in the garbage, right where it belongs.

I have hade many tents over the years and have never been more dissapointed in a camping item than this tent! It came with the worst instructions you could have although I got the tent up in about 30 min.
it is very wobbly and a poorly constructed pile of !!##**! It had no illustrations or anything to tell you which pole went where. Only a poorly written direction sheet. The set up has to be figured out blindly!!! I got lucky though I thought and found the item on Amazon for $107.00 including shipping in June of 2007. It was the worst thing I could have bought even at $5.00 DO NOT BUY THIS! It cannot be returned and at the price you will pay now $175-$225 plus shipping you will be bummed out. Even though I payed less then what it is going for now which is 2 weeks later I could not reccomend this or any other Texsport product to anyone for any price! If you want to get the most for your $ buy Coleman at least with them you can get your mony back if you buy ##**!#!!

Pros: Big-Lots of space
Cons: Weak poles for size tent,poles kept popping out of connecting pole,not enough support for tent, no instructions for tent, couldn't fit back in carring case.
This tent is good for one time usage where there is no wind and/or rain.

It does not bring instructions of assembly, poor quality, but it is very spacious and fresh, good height.

This Tent, on first appearance is an excellent value for money tent. Thst is until you first attempt erection. The Instructions are appalling, not diagramatic instruction just a single piece of paper telling you what to do as if your were the Tent designer and knew every inch of this tent. The manufacture of this tent was pathetic. The Tent poles were mismatched and because these pieces were chain-linked together were unable to be alter to the correct match for the tent. The fly fittings had to be altered to fit the mismatched poles. And the best of this tent is you didn't need a swimming on the camp site because if it rained you had your own private Pool INSIDE the Tent. WATERPROOF!!! I've had better protection from the Rain Standing UNDER a TREE. All in All this Tent is appalling, a disgrace to the name. I was fortunate when I contacted Amazon as they 'made an exception' and replaced my Tent with a New one which has not been used and to be honest I doubt ever will be by me.

One point I have to make here though. This Tent has a 3 year Warranty on it. If there is an issue with this Tent, which is clear that there is, There should be no making exception. This tent should be replaced immediately or better still CALL THEM ALL BACK as they are NOT suitable for the purpose they were Made which is a Consumer's legal right. To Be able to use the purchase for its intended purpose. This Tent is not capable of it in any circumstances accept maybe in a Garage if you have one big enough to erect this in.

Three days ago I ordered 2 of this tent the cost for the tent at the time was $22.99 each. Today I received a email from Amazon stating my order was cancelled and charges was returned to my card, please contact Fogdog. I go back on the site now to see the same exact tent here for now $189.00. Think company Fogdog is very unprofessional and may even be a BIG CON!!!!

After receiving this tent (very quickly by the way), my first use came on July 4th. Upon opening the box, I found everything except clear assembly directions and no parts list. I had color coded poles that I had to figure out which ones went where.
Once the mystery was solved, the tent went up like a dream. Very easy to put up, though I suggest buying metal stakes on your own as the ones provided would work in sugar sand but nothing firmer.
Getting in and out of the tent was easy, there is plenty of room for 2 queen air matresses in each of the side areas. leaving plenty of room in the middle for either another bed or storage/living area.
Wasn't too impressed with the room seperation flaps. They hung on 5 hooks over the span of the inside of the tent, so perfect privacy is not possible.
Over, for the price, performance, room and comfort this tent is great.
