I bought this tent to go on camping trips with my son. Our first outting was a good test for the new tent. We arrived at the campsite after dark and thus set the tent up for the first time in the dark by flashlight. Setup wasn't too difficult, though the instructions could be more detailed for stake placement. The weather was cold and clear the first night, but got cloudy the following afternoon and didn't stop until we went home.

Puddles developed quickly on the floor and it seems that the seams separating the bottom from the rest of the tent let just about every bit of water touching them through. The rainfly over the tent opening is also bad since each time out it is very easy to touch the top and spill all of the trapped water from the fly directly into the tent. Other than the water the tent was roomy, but not for 5 people.

Three with a bit of gear or my son and I with our gear. It's also tall enough to use a cot. If the waterproofing was better this would be a good tent, but as is I'm really disappointed. I'm glad I got it on sale and didn't pay full price. We purchased 7 of these tents for an overnight kids program. They are advertised as 5 man tents, but we won't put more than 3 adults in them. (They fit two kids and two adults alright.) They get used often, and by first-time campers, but less than a year after we purchased them, two are broken.
