Just returned from a week long camping trip with my family (2 adults - 2 kids) and I must say that this tent was great. I spent a long time analyzing tents from all manufacturers - trying to find the best of comfort, quality and size. I bought (and returned) 2 similarly sized but cheaper Coleman brand tents and was very disappointed with the quality when I set them up in my backyard. Cheap feeling material and broken-out-of-the box poles and zippers caused me to re-evaluate. It comes down to - you get what you pay for. This Columbia tent lived up to all of its great reviews! Materials on this tent feel more rugged that the Coleman brand. In 4 very strong thunderstorms, only 1 resulted in any water within - amounting to just a teaspoon of water during the entire night. It came in through a seam where the label was sewn on. This was trivial to me - some seam sealer will resolve this. Oh, and during at least 2 of the storms, I was able to have most of the windows cracked open for air flow and the dormer windows almost completely open (because of their angle)

The tent is very easy to set up and VERY easy to fold and get back into the bag! Zippers feel solid and I like the many places to “hang things” from the inside.

Highly recommended.
