I've used this tent a few times already. The last time I used it we had torrential rains. My campsite flooded almost up to Midway on my car door. We were able to unstake the corners of this tent easily and carry it to Higher Grounds. With all of the water not one drop of rain got inside of this tent. Everybody and the campground was so impressed how dry the inside of my tent was. I do wish I got the six person tent for additional sleeping room. When putting an extra large cot inside the tent it doesn't leave much room for anybody else. I think the color of this tent is fantastic! I'm hoping to find a rain tarp to hang above it matching the same color red. Everybody that passes the tent compliments how nice the color is. I was so impressed with the color I had to go out and buy towels and washcloths to match. I bring reclining lawn chairs that match the tent exactly! The brilliant red color makes camping with this tent even more fun. Purchased to back up tents just in case anything goes wrong with this tent. Now I won't have to worry about them going out of stock. The price was very affordable. I highly recommend this tent and I would and have already repurchased.

First time using it the mallet broke. I simply brought a new mallet, used it a second time and one of the posts broke. Can’t replace the post because the fabric is stapled to it.
I continue to use it and just pile sand up around the broken piece.
Maybe if I’m bored one day I’ll attempt an repair.

We bought this to able to be outdoors on sunny but cold days. It's not cold enough to try it yet, but we did open it and it seems strong enough for our purposes. At first it seemed small, but once you straighten the sides, it's certainly big enough for two. We couldn't fold it back up at first, but watched a couple of YouTubes and then it worked fine. I don't know what freezing temps or wind will do to it, but it does seem sturdy and well made. We will not use it this way, but with some care, it seems strong enough to be carted around and opened and refolded for at least one sport season - maybe more. We bought this particular brand because it was the best price at the time. We figured we could return it if it seemed cheaply made - so far, so good.
