I wanted to love the Coleman Skylodge, and for the most part, it lived up to its promises. This tent is very large and we could fit Four cots easily in it with room to move around. The ceilings are high and it is easy to stand up in. I love that it has a tarp on the bottom which they call bathtub bottom floor. It is easy to clean and keep dry. It held up well in heavy rain. It has a compartment where you can feed an extension cord into the tent. The window had large vents. The initial setup was a bit challenging, mainly getting the long poles inserted correctly. It took us about 30 minutes the first time, but it went much faster the second time, taking only around 15 minutes. Setting it up is definitely easier with two people. It was easier than our older Coleman tent. Unfortunately, one of the zippers on the window had likely a manufacturing flaw. One of the zippers on the windows came off the track during our first use. It was likely a manufacturing flaw rather than from our use as the windows were up or barely open when we used it. It is a good tent for the money but double check your zippers before keeping it I needed up returning ours due to the flaw. While the tent seems like a good value for its size and features, I would strongly advise thoroughly checking all the zippers upon arrival. Ultimately, I had to return ours due to this issue.
