I'm very pleased overall with my tent. But, take note! The tent posts will have to go. PURCHASE DIFFERENT TENT POSTS! These bend and hardly held my tent down the first night, when there was wind. Fortunately for me, a fellow camper had extra and let me borrow theirs for my second night. Not a bad idea to have extras on hand like they did, just in case.
Apart from that, I gave five stars for light weight and five for easy to assemble. Assembly is the usual, two fiberglass poles crossing at the top. Easy enough for one person to get it upright. The tent can be packed very small, but the orange carrying bag it comes in seems even smaller. I would have to roll and re-roll the tent several times to get it small enough to fit in the carrying bag. I recommend using a different bag to carry it, or just tie it up with the straps (included).
I gave four stars for water resistant. It is durable enough for dew and light rain but would not hold up to anything heavier. I used a tarp underneath and that is essential if you are doing serious camping. Unfortunately, my gear got damp the first day and I wasn't able to dry things out, so the second night was moist. Everything in the tent was covered with condensation by morning. I'm not sure what that says about the quality of the tent material, but apart from that my camping trip was great.
For size, I used this as a one person tent. It could suit two people if they are smaller and friendly. I am 5 foot 9 inches and mostly slept on the diagonal to have more room. There is enough head space for me to sit up comfortably, but two people would find it difficult.
I will be using my tent again! Suits my needs!
