" ... First of all the poles were broken when I unpacked it, they would have had to have been packaged broken, not broken in transit. ... This is very upsetting just to know someone packing this item sent it with broken poles. ... "
" ... The bungie cords that hold the tent poles were severed and we had to find that out only when we opened the bag at our campsite. ... "
" ... My only real complaint is the door zipper would get caught on a rain flap and at one point, on the first day out, it ripped trying to get it unstuck. ... "
" ... I'm 5'9" and my head touched the ceiling in the middle of the tent, so do expect to bend down a bit if you're tall. ... We just ended up bending them. ... Luckily we brought extra stakes that had pointy ends that we used instead. ... "
" ... +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. ... "
