Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I would not recommend this tent. I will first begin with the Pros: As advertised, this tent sets up with ease and pops open instantly. The tent itself is roomy for a 2 person tent, and i was surprised and happy to see that the rain-fly is already on the tent. No need to put the rain fly on after the tent pops up. Another pro for this tent, is that you can pull back the sides of the rainfly to expose the top vents, which allows you to see the stars while camping. Unfortunately, the cons of this tent outweigh the pros... I was aware of the first con before i purchased the tent, so this wasn't a surprise. The tent folds into a three foot diameter disk, rendering it fairly useless for backpacking. This tent is meant for casual camping. The zippers are very low quality, and are quite a chore to zip back up. This was expected because of the low price. The polyester fabric used for the tent is very thin, so don't expect it to stand up to any sort of abuse. You must be verrrry careful with this tent. Also, not all that surprised given the very low price. And lastly, the worst part of this tent: be prepared for your tent to completely break and be rendered useless. The fiberglass poles used in the construction of this tent are extremely weak. In order to pack this tent up, there is a process that involves twisting and bending these poles. As you can imagine, twisting and bending weak fiber glass poles is a recipe for disaster.. The very first time packing up this tent, after reading the instructions very carefully multiples times (I have read about other tents of similar construction having the poles break during repacking, so I wanted to make sure I didn't experience the same issue. I also, watched repacking videos on youtube, so I had ample understanding of the mechanics) I began to repack the tent, verrrrry carefully. I followed the instructions to the T, and was sure not to apply too much pressure while I folded the tent up. Even after being extremely careful, and following the steps properly, the pole twisted and shredded with very little pressure. At this point, the tent still stood, but one side was bowed out because of the broken pole. Upon the second repacking, the poles broke in another location rendering the tent almost completely useless. This seems to be a common problem with Pop-up tents that involve bending fiber glass poles to repack into a disk shape. My advice: spend a little more money on a better quality tent, so that you don't have to worry about returning the product after one use. I am going to spend a little more money and try a different style pop-up tent (top hub system) from a different manufacturer and see if that works better. Luckily Amazon Prime offers free returns, which is awesome, so shipped the tent out today and will most likely receive the refund soon. 5 stars for Amazon, 1 star for Coleman.
