[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tent is a little bigger than what we needed as a family (3people + 1dog) for weekend camping trips, but that's what we wanted. This is not a cabin tent so I don't need to worry about high winds causing too much stress on the frame and tent seams. I love that I don't have to stoop whenever I'm inside the main part of the tent. The two vestibules created when the rain fly is on the tent are great for leaving muddy shoes outside but still under cover. There were plenty of pockets on the inside of the tent for our stuff and one great thing about them was that the pockets kept your stuff away from the walls...no morning dew on your stuff!!! Setup was simple; follow the directions on the tag of the tent bag. I tried to just logic my way through it the first time and one of my poles got a little bent...not bad, but I felt like an idiot. Followed the directions the text time and it went up easy. Also, 1 person can set this tent up, 2 people is better. 1 person can take this tent down without any difficulty. The rain fly has so many Velcro straps on the underside to wrap around the poles to help keep it in place. I used maybe 2 at each vestibule end and staked out the vestibules. The rest of the fly I left in place using only the clips to the main tent. We weren't expecting much wind so I didn't bother with the rest or the guy lines and the tent did just fine. Also, the seams are taped inside using some kind of flexible water repellant tape/adhesive...awesome!!! I can't say how many times I've camped in the past and the seams are the first place where condensation forms and starts dripping...that's annoying. Taped seams should solve, or at the very least help with that problem. I would definitely recommend this tent.
