   Amazing tent!!
   I LOVE THIS TENT! It’s sooooo big it feels like glamping haha the top is removable to let the air in and perfect for night sky gazing. I think it’s durable and was a good price when I bought it. It wasn’t too difficult to set up although it would help with two people it’s def doable with one. The whole case also wasn’t heavy once it’s all packed up, and we got it all back into the original case when we were done camping too! It fit a full size thick thick air mattress and a twin size air mattress, we also had room in the middle for a small makeshift table. It was perfect for camping and we can’t wait to use it again soon! I wish I had a better pic but I was busy living it up in the wilderness haha you understand!

   Sturdy, spacious, easy to assemble
   After the first set up is figured out, it’s really easy to put together!I use my tents for working at renaissance fairs and this week we got hammered by some rough heat followed by one heck of a thunderstorm! The tent held up great! There was one tiny leak in a corner, but considering how much rain we got all night, I’m still impressed. It was very spacious and comfortable, held up great to some rough winds and was pretty simple to figure out how to assemble solo after the first set up a week prior.Though I camp alone and needed the space to store merchandise and whatnot, there was plenty of room if you wanted to have 2 queen size blow up mattresses in there. Maybe even a twin between them. But I like my space for my writing desk and storage lol::CONS::-The door didn’t exactly stick shut on the velcro like it was supposed to, but it didn’t bug me too much.-The strings on the zippers got sorta confusing (there’s several in one spot for the door, a second door zipper, and 2 for the door window) so I attached a Keychain to one of the door zipper strings so I’m not grabbing the wrong one constantly.-I really wish there were more windows. Unless you know which direction the wind will be coming so you can aim the windows towards it for a cross breeze, you really don’t get much fresh air in there with the top on it. Granted there’s a window on the door, but I wish there was a window across from the door. Even a small one would’ve been nice lol- The door mat was kind of designed…. weird. Though it was helpful to wipe your feet when coming in the tent, the stakes you attach are on the long-end sides instead of the corners, so it would sometimes fold over when you use it. I plan to alter mine so the stakes are thru the corners.::PROS::- I’m 5’7″ and had Plenty Of head room in the center of the tent, which is a huge plus when you need to get dressed- The floor seemed pretty thick. There were a lot of acorns on the ground and it was still pretty tolerable.- Speaking of acorns, it was like acorn Armageddon when the wind picked up. I swear the squirrels were chucking them at us at full force at night! They’d hit the top of the tent with such force that they’d bounce off and fly several feet. It didn’t seem to cause any sort of damage or bother to the tent though, even during high winds. Can’t say the same for my car hood though….- The tent overhang over the door is super helpful during storms. It was really nice that I could angle the side flaps so I wasn’t getting hit with rain the second I stepped out the door and could take shelter there and stay mostly dry.- Plenty of anchor points! If you anchor them all down, it’s VERY sturdy during high winds and rain. Definitely was a help to be able to anchor at all areas where some tents don’t seem to have enough for stability in winds.-Easy fold up! It looks like it would be pretty complicated but after you fold it in half, it folds up really easy. The top fly is a little harder though lol and I recommend you fold it inside the fold of the tent or it doesn’t fit in the bag.All in all, I loved the tent and would definitely buy again.I do plan to spray it with water resistant tent solution to make it more durable, though honestly it seemed fine without it.But better safe than.. well, wet lol

   Great tent that is durable
   I bought this tent in 2015 and we have used it for two weekend camping trips each year since we bought it. It is comfortable and roomy. It is easy to set up with the color coded poles. It does take up a relatively large footprint so you need to be sure that you have ample room to set it up. Setup takes about 10 minutes with 2 people. I am 6ft 2in. tall and I can stand up in the center section of the tent. There are handy loops in the ceiling to hang a couple lights or a lightweight, battery powered fan. The lower left corner of the tent has a handy flap for running an extension cord into the tent without having to run it through the door. The only issue that we have ever had was that the straight pole for the door hinge ended up poking through the bottom of the gasket that it mounts into. It’s more of an aesthetic problem than a function problem. The door still works fine.

   Great tent, though coleman support is not so great.
   I assembled this tent after receiving it so that I could inspect it and apply seam sealer. The tent itself is very good. It has almost everything I wanted in a tent: a tub floor to prevent ground level leaks, a “D” shaped door (“T” shaped doors have a gap where the zippers meet allowing water/critters to get in), a big screen roof for warm summer days. The only thing it was missing was a floor vent, which is available in the “elite” version, but I could not justify the extra expense for what amounts to a vent and a light. This tent does offer some nice extras that were not on my wish list. Those include good headroom almost anywhere in the tent (not just in the center), a slit for running an extension cord (which will be nice to charge phones/GPSs/2-way radios on long car-camping trips), a large awning over the door when the rain fly is on, and a rigid door with velcro. The rigid door will be very nice camping with kids who sometimes struggle with zippers and seem to always need to be reminded to zip the tent back up. My only gripe other than the lack of a floor vent is the fact that the rainfly is huge and difficult to put on unless you have a helper. The tub floor also causes a tripping hazard by the door but that is unavoidable if you want a tub floor so this is not a negative but something people may want to be aware of.I am quite happy with the tent itself and would have easily given it a 4 or 5 star rating. However, one of the poles arrived with some slight damage to the elastic band. Inside the box we had no fewer than 4 sheets of paper telling us not to return the tent if we had problems but instead to call the Coleman 800 number for a resolution. I followed their instructions since the damage was minor. Unfortunately, it was the weekend and the offices were closed. I called back on Monday and reported the information. I then had to wait a day for their warranty department to send me an email. The email requested photographs of my receipt and the damaged parts to verify I was telling the truth about the date of purchase and the problem I reported. I responded promptly and a few days later I received the new poles… however they were too long. The part number of the replacement poles matched the “replacement pole” kit number in the tents instructions so I contacted Coleman again only to learn that they do not stock specific poles and I would have to use the kit to construct my own replacement poles. Since my damage was minor, this was more of an annoyance than anything else. However, if you have a more serious issue like a cracked or missing pole or anything wrong with the tent itself, then I would recommend exchanging the entire tent rather than going through the Coleman warranty department.** UPDATE **I just added one star to the review.We took this tent on a two week camping trip. During the trip, we broke down the tent every 2-3 days to move to a new location. Temperatures ranged from the mid 30s in some locations to the mid 80s in others. Despite only being three of us in the tent, it held the heat pretty well in cold locations (seemed to be about 10 degrees warmer in the tent) but the ventilation was still good in warm locations and it did not turn into an oven. We saw strong winds one night and dizzel a few other nights, neither had any effect on the tent. One evening there was a very strong downpour as we were eating dinner. We were in bear country and did not want to take the food in the tent so we ran to the car to finish eating and then wait out the storm. About 45 minutes later, the rains subsided enough for us to return the the tent. I checked the floors and could not find a single drop of water!The pole help up well and we got pretty good at assembling the tent. One evening we pulled into the campsite with a storm bearing down on us (though it ended up just missing us). Two of us got the tent assembled with the rain fly on “good enough” (ie attached to the tent but not tied down) in under 10 minutes. Other nights we took our time and it probably took closer to 20 minutes. The tent itself goes up quick, just stake it down at 8 points, and insert 4 poles. The poles go in pretty easily do no not snag much on the fabric. The rainfly is the putsy part. It is difficult to determine what is the front and the tent is so high that it almost needs two people to put it on. Once on, there 8 bungied clips that are attached to 4 of the tents stake points (2 clips at each point) and a bajillion velcro tabs that attach to the poles. Once all the velcro points are attached then you need to add another pole and then stake down the flaps near the entry. Needless to say, if you know the weather will be nice, skip the rain fly. We ended up missing one of the velcro points one night and as the wind blew the felcro rubbed against the screened roof and frayed it a little.Overall, though I am very pleased with this tent. It was bone dry after a heavy rain, was easy to put up and take down, was comfortable, and has tons of room. It also packs up to a relatively small area despite being such a large tent.

   Fue sencilla de armar, no pude probarla bajo la lluvia, pero se ve bastante resistente, resulta amplia para 6 personas, tiene altura excelente para estar de pie dentro, aunque por el diseño del techo no protege mucho del frio cuando hay viento, la calidad de Coleman me da tranquilidad

   I give 4 stars because there is not dividers in the tent.Its nice and big but only one space.I thought it must be inside dividers between the bedrooms and unfortunately NOT.Other than that it’s a good quality tent!
