I just took this tent out for its first road trip. It was super duper easy to set up and take down. I was all alone and could easily set up in less than 5 minutes, and take-down was a similar time, although sometimes it was hard to roll it small enough to fit into its bag. But that's normal for tents so that's not really a negative. It lightly rained while I was camping and I didnt get any wetness inside. It didnt even need stakes to stay up properly, which was nice since day 1 I forgot stakes and couldnt get any until day 2. Took her out for 5 days, was totally fine at the end of it. Ill definitely get coleman tents in the future whenever this one wears down.
I now need a tent I can stand up in and this one is excellent. I camp alone but this way I can put a cot, a chair, my porta potty etc in it and all is great. The set up couldnt be easier altho I havent mastered folding it up for the bag yet. However, bring a tap to use as a rainfly because light rain is fine but heavy rains do leak in. I attached a tarp over it and that took care of that.
Have had 5-6 years used 2-3 times per year and zipper already shot. Had similiar problem with a Coleman Mummy bag. Very frustrating.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tent is very easy for one person to set up in a couple of minutes. Very durable, compact and great for setting up camp when the weather suddenly turns bad. Never had a leak even in Germany's rainstorms, and is also very stable in very windy conditions. Lots of space for sleeping, stashing your gear as well as pockets to house your car keys, phones, and other items that you don't want to dig for in you backpacks. Unlike most tents it actually folds up and re-packs into the carry bag without a struggle. I suggest this tent for anyone who goes camping and want to get set up quickly as well as packing up and moving on within a few minutes.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me preface this by saying I am an assistant scout master with troop 50 in Wetumpka, Al. and we camp A LOT! We have been using these tents for almost 5 years. As some of you know Scouts can break anything, well, these tents have stood up well, the are easy to set up, and every one that we purchased is still in operation! If that's not saying something I don't know what is.
This is so easy to set up but there are some things you might want to know if you are thinking about purchasing this.The windows are only on only three sides, that is including the door. The door zipper is in two pieces that meet in the bottom corner which leaves a small gap. When it’s dark, it’s hard to tell if it’s fully closed which leaves one to wonder if snakes and things could get in. The ventilation isn’t great because there is only one small vent at the top. It’s a big stretch to call this a 4-man tent. In my opinion, 2 adults and maybe 2 young children would fit comfortably.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
