Good tent

I really like the tent, it sets up easy and is roomy. Being a hiker it would be nice if it were a little lighter, but it fits nicely inside my backpack. Seems very sturdy and has guy lines, I have not used it in the rain yet but on a regular night the inside stayed dry. I would buy another one.

easy to set up and way bigger than i thought it would be...

set up and tear down are way easy. was a little surprised that you HAD to use the rain fly otherwise the tent would be completely exposed. that being said... the rainfly also went up fairly easy too... and the large mesh on top allowed for a lot of air flow. followed the instructions to use seam sealant... that process was a messy confusing pain - i'm glad i don't have to do again... sure hope i did it right and now the tent won't leak. wonder why they don't just seal these suckers at the nice chinese factory? all in all it's a great tent for the price... and i can't wait to go camping again!

Wenzel Tent

Returned tent promptly. Mainly due to the fact that it was too small to fit my needs. Wasn't able to use the tent so that is why my rating is so low. Tent did go up fast and was easy to set-up. The tent stakes were flimsy, and the tent fabric was not to my liking. I think this tent would be great for kids in the backyard. Just too small.

A great inexpensive car camping tent

We used this tent during the Labor Day weekend camping. I have to mention that we did not face any inclement during our camping so not sure how it would hold up in rain or wind (hence the 4 start rating).

It was very easy to setup the tent (15 minutes max for one person, much faster with another pair of hands) and was spacious enough for two adults and a 2 yr old kid with some room to spare. The tent is designed adequately for air circulation, especially without the rain fly. The temperatures during the day were in mid 90s still inside the tent it was not too bad.

Couple of negatives though: 1) the poles does not feel very sturdy, 2) difficult to zip/unzip down the door (the problem could be the way I set the tent up).

The bottom of the tent is very sturdy built of tarp like material, but for extra protection we used a tarp below and it worked fine.

Overall for the price I paid for the tent it was a good purchase.

survived massive dust storms

...at burning man without failure. the cord to the rain fly snapped when we were breaking down but no biggie. solid tent even for the playa.
