Got as Wedding Gift October 15, 2008
WE LOVE THIS TENT. i did a lot of research into trying to find the perfect tent for our registry and came across this one; at an even greater price. we love to camp and wanted something that will last a while. we have yet to take it out and use it but we'll do that next summer when we go on our honeymoon.

Great tent, especially for the money. September 5, 2008

I have used this tent twice so far and it is one of the best camping purchases I have made. Setup is easy and the interior is spacious. My family of 7 can sleep in there just fine. We had a good rain one night and the interior stayed dry, however, as is the case with most tents now, the rainfly does not extend very low over the sides. This is to keep air flowing through the tent but I could see where if you had strong winds and sideways rain, it could be a problem. On last nit, the front door to the "screened porch" does not zip across the bottom. This also has the potential for rain blowing inside. We will brobably put a velcro strip there to solve the potential problem. I would definitely recommend as the plusses way outweigh the minuses.

I searched for a tent that had a screen attached as I did not want to purchase a separate screen tent. I wanted the convince of an all in one tent. When I saw that Coleman had one, I jumped on it. This tent is fantastic! I love all the features including the tent light and hinge door. The fact that the screen portion did not have a floor was not a problem for me as most screen tents don't. It was very easy to set up and very easy to take down. I recommend this tent highly!

Good Idea, but not well executed August 10, 2008

We really wanted to love this tent, but the screen porch is not designed well. It has no floor and and no REAL wall. The screen that divides the main tent from the porch does zip all the way around, but the nylon "wall" is open on the bottom side and flaps in the wind. I would not buy this tent again.

We took this out to Caddo Lake State Park in TX. We absolutely love this tent.
PROS:
-There wasn't a single bug that came through the netting.
-It's waterproof.
-The Main entrance door is very convenient to open so easily.
-The built in lighting is a good plus to have, no worries of gas lanterns and fumbling for flashlights.
-I like the fact that the roof is separate from the tent itself, great ventilation for warm-hot weather. Not sure if this would be a good tent for very cold weather.
- Very Sturdy tent.
- Fits a full size inflatable bed with MUCH room to spare.
-VERY high ceiling, no more stooping over inside!
- We received compliments on this tent!
- Nice privacy divider, and is added protection against bugs and rain so you can have screened area open.

CONS:
- One of my tent poles has an issue with a locking mechanism, not a big deal.
- Two people is a must in assembling this tent, or you will have a very hard time.
- The sleeping accommodations are misleading. The second (Screened Part) has no floor covering, so you would get ate up with bugs, and wet when it rains.
- The roof lining is a snug fit, but awkward to get on tightly.

Recommendations:
- Get a tarp that will fully cover the bottom of this tent, so you can sleep more people inside the screened part of tent. Plus, your floor lining will last much longer.
- Repair kit is always a must so your trip won't be ruined if something happens.
- You will need 8 "D" batteries for the lighting system.
