I bought this for our annual June cub scout camp out in the park (i.e. not exactly extreme camping). The tent was easy for my 8 year old son and I to set up together and very roomy for the two of us (I can see how it could easily fit 4 if needed, though it was a nice size for 2 with plenty of room for stuff). It rained most of the night with thunder and lightning, but we made it through completely dry. The rain cover worked great and still provided plenty of ventilation. There are not a lot of rope tie-downs for kids (and adults) to trip over which was nice (just 2 for the rain cover and none for the actual tent) and it was still entirely stable through our stormy night. This tent was reasonably priced and worked well for our purposes. I bought this rather than last year's model just because it was a few dollars less but my impressions of this tent seem in line with the very positive reviews for last year's model.

Don't ask me why, but we went camping and canoeing during Hurricane Irene in the Shenandoah River for the entire weekend. This tent was easy to set up (in the dark) and was sufficient in keeping the bugs out. Saturday night, there was heavy rain and winds 45-60ish mph; pretty scary when you add some thunder and sounds of falling branches. This tent was secure and kept my wife and I dry when our friends tents sprung leaks and suffered wet sleepingbag-itis. I think fitting 4 people in the tent is a bit too cozy and it serves 2 the best if you like some room for your guns and stuff. I recommend also the mallet and metal dowels with broom/dustpan that amazon offers in the buy together option. I think those heavy duty dowels and my heavy duty self helped my tent stay secured. bottom line: a tent well worth pitchin'

We purchased this tent for our adult children to sleep in during a family reunion. Everything was fine: Assembly was relatively simple and size was as expected. However, when we assembled the tent 3 weeks later, we found a tear at the seam connecting the floor material with the wall material. Thankfully, duct tape cures everything, but, really? After ONE USE? Disappointing...
So here are my scores for this tent: (1-5 stars)
Appearance: 4 stars because it was a little cheap looking
Assembly: 5 stars because it was assembled within 5 minutes by two adults
Size: 3 stars because despite the fact that Coleman calls this a 4 person tent, 4 adults could not sleep in this tent. Held one queen size air mattress with an area of about 3'x5' for your stuff.
Durability: 1 star because the seam should not be split after two nights of use.
