We purchased the Coleman Steel Creek 6-Person Dome Tent w/Screen Room in April 2017. We used it for all of our camping trips last year and once so far in 2018 so I felt like its gotten enough use at this point that I could leave a review that might be helpful. We are using this tent for two adults, one toddler, and two medium sized dogs. The tent is advertised as a 6 person tent but I think 4 adults would be the most that would fit comfortably. For us I think its the perfect size for our family, we usually put our inflatable queen sized
Coleman Quickbed Plus Airbed With 4D Pump Twin, Full, Queen and King
mattress with the sleeping bags on one side and set up the
Coleman 2000020279 Compact Folding Table
and two Coleman Camping Chairs on the other side so we have a place to eat or do card games inside. The tent has two closable windows in the front and one on each side. The window in the back is mesh only for the top half of that side and does not have a cover to zip it closed, so if you do not have the rain flap on the back part of the tent is almost completely open (with the rain flap on its completely covered).
I had debated on whether or not to get a tent with a screen room and I'm glad we did. The screen room on this particular model is not huge and the angle it connects to the main tent dome at does not leave much head room, but it does give you a nice area to take shoes off and gives you the option to leave the tent door itself open to get more airflow. We also use this area to keep our cooler and as a place to keep the dog food/water (during the day). The two complaints I have about the screen room (which changed my overall rating from 5 stars = I love it to 4 stars = I like it) is #1 there are 6" openings at the bottom of the area where the screen room connects to the main tent, as others have noticed there should be a way to close these openings because they allow bugs and critters to crawl into the screen room and #2 the mesh on the screen room goes all the way to the ground so when it rains mud ends up coming inside, this could have been prevented by having the waterproof bottom go up the same height as it does around the main tent portion.
As for construction/durability, I think Coleman is a reputable brand and I've always found their tents to be quite durable, this tent is no different. We have not yet used the tent in extreme weather (heavy rain or wind), so I do not know how it would hold up in either, but this tent has held up perfectly to the abuse from my toddler as well as the constant opening/closing doors, windows, etc. I have absolutely no complaints about its durability. I would recommend this tent.
