Some Light Leaks and Poor Directions
The tent is as described in terms of size, however assembling the frame can prove difficult due to lack of instructions and the tent itself has various light leaks.
For assembling the frame the difficulty comes in assembling the joint sections to the poles themselves. Due to the lack of a standard orientation of drilling for the holes in the joint pieces; not all joints work in all locations. Same joints had holes pointing up and down while some had them up and to the side and others only had one. Because of this I assembled the entire tent with the exception of one joint piece, and then I had to spend over 20 minutes swapping joint pieces in different corners to find out which is supposed to go where. All of the joints were simply labeled 'B' with a sticker on them so there was no way to tell which one would go where.
On the topic of light leaks there are various leaks around the tent. the largest I found is in a back corner while there are many more along the seams where the poles are. My picture only shows one of the light leaks since the others do need it to be a little darker outside to see and the sun was up when I took this picture. The product did come with a role of reflective tape for the inside however the roll is very small and was not able to get rid of all of the light leaks, especially at the seams.
Other notes are that the zippers tend to get stuck and take some wiggling to move so I am nervous about the longevity of the tent. The carrier pouch thing on the inside of the tent is nice for having a humidity monitor on the top and bottom of the tent. The lining on the inside is very reflective. It's in alright product, but there are other tents on the site for cheaper that are probably the same if not better.
