" ... Set up takes a little bit of time but provides plenty of space. ... "
" ... +Carrying bag: sturdy material, and a rather compact package considering the size of this thing. ... "
" ... I will say, if you have about 4 people under 4.5ft tall, this tent is for all of you! ... "

" ... +Poles: 2 drawbacks: 1). ... they are a bit fragile. ... "
" ... Also, the bottom stitching is coming out of the base, and that was before we ever set the thing up. ... "
" ... I opened the tent this week to use for spring break and ALL OF THE CORDS that keep the poles together are ripped! ... "
" ... The smell inside burn my deeper part of nose, and burn the whole air way and my lung smell like plastic, ahhh it hurt. ... "
" ... It worked for 1/2the day and then a pole snapped . ... So the product has poor construction for something that is crucial to its performance long term. ... "
" ... The zipper tab sticks in the hard-to-move zipper nearly every time. ... "
" ... very cheaply made ! ... "
" ... I set up a tent and in the first days my only complaint was pegs which were bent very easily. ... If it hits stone in the ground it will definitely bend and it might even bend if the ground is little bit hard than usual. ... The only good thing this tent has going for itself is canvas and rainfly which unfortunately is unusable without poles and pegs. ... "
