We bought this tent for car camping trips for the two of us. Make no mistake, we are not travel-light backpackers. We're just lowly car campers, so this tent is quite large for the two of us. But it works. They call it a 4-person, but again, if you are car camping, you don't need to try and sardine 4 people into this, because if you did, you'd become VERY good friends with your tentmates...
The tent sets up quickly and easily. You secure it down on 4 corners with aluminum stakes, and there are guylines included for rock setups, or in windy conditions. There are two fiberglass poles which make up the strucure of the tent, secured with plastic clips attached to the tent. The door is nice and large and the tent is nice and high in the center. Makes for easy clothes-changing in the morning, I can almost stand all the way up (I'm 5'10").
I would suggest laying a tarp down and then putting the tent on the tarp, as the floor of the tent is just nylon. Seems like it could tear if placed directly on rocky ground, or may let water in under rainy conditions.
Make no mistake, this is not really a backpacking tent, though there is nothing to say it could not be used for that purpose. It's a good size tent, best used for 2 or 3 car campers.

This tent delivers on quality and ease of errecting. The floor is light weight so purchase footprint, but don't purchase the Kelty footprint which is same material as tent and pricy. The instructions are not very good and did not show how to use the supplemental tiedowns. It also included a mesh square with ties, but there is nothing to identify what it is or how it is used. Once the user has errected the tent, I believe it can be done in 10 minutes. The design and construction of the tent is good quality and is well worth the cost. The tent is light weight and is easy to backpack. The supplied tent stakes are a little weak so I purchased heaver stakes to ensure tent stayes in place in heavy winds. I would make this purchase again and would recommend it to anyone.

I guess this proves that you get what you pay for. We've owned a $300+ Kelty tent (Vortex4) that has held up perfectly for 1-3x's a year usage for the past 10 years. Now that we have kids we need more room, which is why we bought this tent.
Pros:
-Price is affordable.
-Set up is really easy if you know how to set up a tent.
-Spacious enough for us to sleep an adult, playpen for toddler, and have a changing area.
-Kept us warm at night in 40 degree windy weather.
Cons:
-The clasps that hold the poles to the tent are the silliest design, in our opinion. We're used to having poles that slide through fabric sewn to the tent.
-The screen fabric is extremely cheap material, and tore at the slightest tug when it got stuck in the zipper--after our first use!
-The flaps that cover the door zipper are a pain in the tuckus, requiring the use of two hands to close the zipper to avoid snagging, and have complete closure.
-Because of the tent fly not covering the tent completely, it was pretty "flappy" sounding in the wind. Compared to our Kelty Vortex, which has a fly that covers the tent completely, it's pretty loud.
I'll stand by Kelty products still because all that I've owned but this have been great. For this tent, if you're looking for a cheap tent that won't last a long time, and if you're a rare - occasional camper, maybe get this one. If you can, spend a little more on a better quality Kelty tent.

This is an excellent tent. Good quality. The rainfly, which covers the entire tent and not just the top half, deflected the rain and kept us dry. Just make sure it is drawn tight and secured. It fits three people perfectly, allowing for floor space for the dog or gear. The only down side for me is that it does not come with the stronger aluminum poles, which would make it lighter as well. It sets up easily. My brother-in-law liked ours so well that he had me order one for him. I did a lot of research before buying this particular tent. I definitely recommend this tent.

After sleeping in this tent for 5 weeks near the ocean (lots of fog/marine moisture at night), I can say it is waterproof with the rain fly (I also placed a tarp underneath it, as I wasn't willing to test the waterproof floor hypothesis) and is relatively quiet in the wind. It never came unstaked, the rain fly never flew off, never ripped or tore, the door zipper never jammed (and I was in a sandy environment), and it was very easy to put up. The little ceiling storage pouch worked very well as well.
Personally, I'd recommend this tent for no more than 1 or 2 weeks use at a time. What I can say positively about is that it is very obviously well-constructed and I expect it to serve me on shorter trips for many years to come. Oh, and the lightweight tent stakes it comes with are very prone to bending in compacted soil or sand.
