" ... within 12 hours (and our FIRST time using it) we had a front pole break and the whole tent collapsed! ... "
" ... Horrible quality, had less than a year and used twice and it is already falling apart at seems and zippers. ... "
" ... The only other issue that I've seen so far is that the zipper on the front entrance seems to get caught on the flap a lot. ... I'd have expected a bit better thought and construction going in these areas where there is heavy use. ... "
" ... This time however it did not just collapse the poles broke. ... "
" ... It must have previously been used because poles were dirty and scratched and some plastic stakes were missing. ... We had to use the metal stakes which were absolutely horrible!! ... Also, one of the loops broke right off. ... "
" ... and didn't take long 16mph wind broke one of the structure members and collapsed the whole thing. ... "
" ... We are experienced campers and take care of our equipment so it's not like the tent was abused. ... I believe it was just made of inferior materials not made for the purpose intended. ... "
" ... The poles don't actually connect and lock to anything. ... I put up 1 side and attempt to work on the other cross side, the tent falls over and the poles fall completely unattached. ... After many attempts and much swearing, I eventually get the main tent up, but it feels completely unstable. ... One of the cross beam poles completely broke off while in the plastic connector. ... "

" ... I needed something that accommodated our double cot, and provided a covered kitchen storage area that the teens could access without entering our sleeping area. ... We did a practice run at home before setting out, thinking we knew what we were doing. ... I love how the screened section acts as a covered porch for entry into the sleeping section. ... "
" ... so much room pretty easy setup for something that size. ... "
" ... So we set it up with the front porch area being their space, and we took the main room. ... Well, we really DO NOT like the door that goes from the front porch to the main room. ... "
