nice tent for the kids. Easy to set up and store. Only problem was the center poles moved out of position easily. The kids sometimes knocked it down climbing in and out. Great because they could set it up on their own with a little assistance. Big enough for a twin air matress, but nothing else.

The zippered door was very difficult to open and even more difficult to close. On a second night it did not work at all. Imagine yourself in a forest with mosquitoes and a very cold night? This tent is a cheap and unreliable piece of garbage.

Judging from of my limited use of this tent, it is excellent for the price. I do have a few complaints against it: You could probably fit two adults who are in good shape inside it, but if you do this, don't expect to fit any gear you have with you. This isn't really an issue for me, though, because I bought it to use by myself. That said, it is a bit difficult to set up with only one person, but not impossible, and like with most things, the more times you set it up, the easier it seems to become.
Construction wise, it seems like its put together well. When I used it, the weather was nice so I can't comment on the water proofing or how well it will insulate, but it kept the bugs and wind out. My biggest complaint, however, is the ropes. When set up with the ropes that came with it, it seemed very unstable (not being able to stand against a stiff breeze unstable). Before even using it I replaced these with 5/50 cord and with this the tent stood much better. The stakes are typical cheep stakes that will bend after a few uses in harder/rockier ground, so you may want to also invest in more durable stakes if you camp in an area where that's an issue.
I'm overall pleased with the tent, however. I wasn't expecting much, for the price, but its a hardy little tent. Great value.

I took this tent with me to the 2009 military games, it did a great job. it was windy as all hell it stayed up and nothing broke. i am happy with my buy and if i ever need a new one i just might get another one of these. :)

We picked up 2 of these for a couple of 10-year old boys that were a bit annoying to tent with ("Why is there sand everywhere?", "Which of you hooligans left the door open?", "Why am I sleeping in kool-aid?", "Whose underwear are on my pillow?"). They now each have their own tent! They love it, and we are all much happier. The boys sometimes set the tents up in the yard, just for fun...and camping in their own tent has really taught them a lot of responsibility.
The zippers, material, and overall quality are not great, but for twenty biguns I won't be upset when they finally get destroyed. We have about 10 nights using them so far, and no serious problems (one zipper never worked quite right). The poles are actually really light aluminum, and quite study. The tents have little ventilation though, so they heat up fast inside (and get moist if you close the door).
I highly recommend this tent for a childs first tent. I turned the strings into loops, so the boys can more easily hook the ropes where they need to, and set it up for them once. Since then, they have been doing fine on their own. The tent even fits easily into the bag, and they can both do it (sometimes they need an adult to help squish the air out or pull up a stuck stake).
2 people will be cramped, 1 will be fine. You will want to leave the door and tiny window open so you don't build up moisture (which will make you more cold than leaving it open). Also, you might not want to use the side tie-downs. They cause the tent to sag in the middle. We loosely attach them to something, so they only come into play during a gust of wind.
Overall, a great first tent, simple to set up, sturdy, and an excellent value.
