Easy Set-up , Easy Take-down
By Slyguy1017
It looks to be a great tent. I set it up in my backyard in 2 minutes by myself at a nice leisurely pace. It broke down even faster. The air vents are great and the rain fly being included and part of the instant set-up was great. The only problem, and this is a problem with most camping gear, I had a lot of trouble getting it back in the carrying case. I needed a hand to help get it stuffed in and the zipper closed. I'm going to find some type of velcro strap to help cinch it up tighter. The instant tent is the way to go especially if you will be camping in a tight space such as a festival. Pick your spot and get set up in minutes without your long poles poking your neighbors tents during set-up and break-down.
**For those of you that are new to camping, this is really a 2-person tent. Sure you might sleep 6 people side by side on the floor, but there would be no room for anything else. If you plan to use a cot or air mattress, have a large bag or two of gear,
maybe a small camp table, and you want to be comfortable for a long weekend, then I would only plan for 2 adults in this tent or maybe 2 adults plus a small child or two. You will want as much room as possible in case bad weather hits and you need to spend substantial time in your tent.

Works as expected except for pole locking button issue
By Krandy
The tent is very quick to setup. About a minute with one person and pretty intuitive. However, I was disappointed that one of the locking buttons that pops up when you stretch the support pole to lock it would not pop in place. Disappointed but not surprised by Chinese quality production. I was able to get it to work by using a small screwdriver to pry up the lock, but this is a pain especially if I don't have a screwdriver available to so this. Debating whether to go through hassle to exchange it or not. Once the pole is locked the tent works great. I could fit two double air mattresses easily so sleep maybe 3 kids plus an adult, maybe wife and kids, haven't tried that yet.
I just needed a tent I could pop up quickly in the backyard for the kids since we have a full family size Coleman that works great for camping but takes a while to set up.
So overall very happy for my needs except for the issue with pole, which I hope I don't regret.
