" ... There's no way to stop wind from coming in but it was easy to set up and put away ... "

" ... So easy to set up that you will wonder why you didnt buy it earlier. ... "

" ... This tent was exactly as described except for the zippers. ... Don't buy it until they fix the worthless zippers. ... "
" ... I don't have a gorilla grip or arms as long as an orangutan. ... I tried the knee approach, as recommended, and ended up with a bump on my head & a bruise on my shoulder when the fabric slipped on the kitchen floor. ... "
" ... Only problems I've had is with the zippers but only after heavy use for a year. ... "
" ... The included stakes easily bend in hard ground, but that's to be expected for a cheap tent. ... You read and re-read the directions, folding and re-folding the tent, but it never gets small enough to fit back into the case. ... After folding it the wrong way one too many times, you accidentally bend one of the internal poles. ... "
" ... However, it's cheaply built. ... Eventually it zipper no longer engage to one of seam. ... "
" ... After a few weeks of use zippers broke and became unusable. ... "
" ... Loved this tent for the first 24 hours but the second night I used it the zipper broke. ... "
" ... after only three uses of true woods camping in CO, the zipper broke. ... when the tent 'pops-up' and you stake it down, the fabric is stretched to the max and you will have one heck of a time trying to zip the door closed. ... "

" ... Poorly advertised could not fit two people barely fit one ... "
" ... Just popped it open for the first time and one of the pole Inside the fabric already broke and will eventually be sticking through the fabric . ... "
" ... It wasn't like the fiberglass rods broke like a green stick would break . ... "
" ... It would not hold the zip and would split open. ... "
" ... It is attached to the top so when you unzip it it falls back into the tent itself (because gravity duhhh) and any moisture or rain that is still on the outside drips off into the tent. ... "
" ... Worst tent in the world it fits 1 person not 2 and the zippers are the worst also u can not stake them in the ground or the zipper won’t work at all ... "
" ... I'm 5'11 and couldn't fit my carry on suitcase in with me. ... "
" ... Brand new from seller and was already broken (frame poles at one end completely snapped and shredded, literally. ... "

" ... Never been happier with a tent because it's so easy and takes the drudge out of camping. ... "
" ... We have the two-man size and while it is too big to be used for backpacking, it works well for car camping, backyard camping, canoe camping and we managed to figure out a way to take it along on one of our kayak camping trips as well. ... "
" ... I'm now going to buy another for actual camping because I see how durable and comfortable and functional it is. ... "
" ... Use for car camping and the quick setup and tear down is a big plus. ... "

" ... VERY easy to set up, and not that difficult to get back into the bag. ... "
" ... Roomy enough for 2, but not with a lot of room to move around. ... "
" ... Sets up and breaks down in seconds as well as takes up very little space. ... "
" ... It can fit in two person, but might not have room for your personal belongings. ... "
" ... I had plenty of room and love the two pouches on the inside of the tent great for placing a headlamp and other tool you might need and know where they are at. ... "
" ... On the upside, the 2 man tent is really big inside, I had plenty of room, and it seems to be made of a good material. ... "

" ... It feels claustrophobic. ... "

" ... As an adult I can't sit up when on the ground without my head hitting the top. ... "
" ... Picking fiberglass splinters out of your hands sucks and hurts like a mofo. ... "

Door

" ... The door opens from the bottom, so hangs IN to the tent. ... "
" ... its because the door and zipper are on the 'side' when the door should be on one of the 'ends'. ... "
" ... The zip to the door wouldn't work at all. ... "
" ... My only issue with this (and I hope Coleman will come out with a newer version) is the door is a very poor design when it comes to rain. ... "
" ... The opening to the door is to wide, and after the tents were set up the zippers would not close completely because it was such a tight fit. ... "
