After reading some reviews that said this tent leaks, I was nervous about using it in the rain. I didn't apply any extra waterproofing and it stayed totally dry during a night of wind and an inch of rain. Size is perfect to fit 2 adult males and their backpacks. The 7x5 may be lighter and pack smaller, but having your backpack inside on a rainy night is well worth the extra weight of the 7x7.

I've been on 2 to 4-week wilderness trips in northern Canada and Alaska reaching up to 300-miles from the nearest settlement. Needless to say, there's been bad weather experienced in tents. Never has there been a tent pole failure (an old Eureka 3 season). A Eureka Tetragon 7 was purchased as an inexpensive tent intended for car camping; not for critical dependency. It was delivered late afternoon with expected overnight rain. Good. It could be tested to determine if seam sealer might be needed as a touchup. It went up before nightfall in the back yard. A check the following morning showed one of the two main poles had snapped in half. Though not in the tent overnight to describe wind conditions, there was an indicator. Two 10-ft-diameter outdoor canvas umbrellas had been mistakenly left open overnight. If strong winds had been present, they would not have remained standing. After allowing the tent to dry in what became a sunny day, a closer examination showed the two short poles in sleeves above both doors looked as if someone had deliberately abused them. They would not last much longer. I sent an email to the manufacturer asking if they knew of manufacturing defects. Two months later, there was still no response. That's when this review was submitted. I've since purchase a Marmot Thor P3 expedition tent (for other purposes obviously) and I'm considering a 3-season from Big Agnes or Marmot (at higher prices than the Tetragon 7). Having owned North Face expedition, Eureka 3 season and car camping tents plus experienced other brands on trips, it was unfortunate to permanently eliminate Eureka (now owned be a larger parent company) from any further purchasing decisions. It's a manufacture's decision what kind of reputation they want to develop; no response to an inquiry is not a good customer experience. I will never trust Eureka again.

The tent poles are cheap and several of them snapped the first time the tent was used. Amazon was great with the refund and even paid for return shipping.

We bought 12 of these tents. Right of the bat, 1 of the 12 was missing a grommet to hold the back small pole over the window. Basically killing that tent. After the first year of use 7 of the 12 tents were broken. The number one repair problem with the tents are the poles. The tent uses 4 poles, which in itself makes it harder to setup than most 2 or 3 pole designs. Two poles cross to form the main supports for the tent. 5 tents had these poles break, and we were able to easily repair them. The two small poles over the windows are so thin, I've had 8 of these poles just splinter. The metal ends do not come off, making these impossible to repair. They have to be fully replaced. So far Eureka has failed to respond to 3 email requesting assistance, as their is no place to purchase these pieces to fix the tent. The small poles also lead to holes in the rain fly when being installed, if they slip from the grommet that holds them.
In general when we set the tent up, it was very loose and not very tight, making it look extremely flimsy.
For the money, their are tons of tents that are much more stable and will last longer. I personally chose to not buy something this cheap again and we are buying Alps Mountaineering Tents.

Purchased for light duty. Used few times so far and has worked exactly as advertised. Set-up is simple and can be done by one person.
Fine room for two,but would be crowded for three. Only light rain so far, and was fine. Can be used without stakes if necessary.
Eureka recommends a ground cover under the tent. Easily accomplished and can fit in tent bag. Nice little storage compartments on wall and ceiling. So far well worth the money. Didn't give five stars as it hasn't had a real rain test or the test of time.
