5 stars if there was no zipper issue.,
The tent itself is very nice. It is easy to setup with a minimum of 2 people. It is very roomy inside. I had three male adults in the tent and it was very comfortable. 3 average size male adults is very comfortable for this tent. 4 average size male adults would be just right. Overall, it is a very nice tent. Enjoyed my two weekends (4 nights) camping in this tent. It also held up well in light to medium rain. Haven’t been able to test it for heavier rain yet.
The only downside is that there does seem to be a zipper problem. If you open the tent too fast or even normal speed it seems to get caught on the orange part which protects the zippers and keeps out moisture I presume. It didn’t get stuck to the point where I couldn’t take it out, but nevertheless, it does seem to be annoying. However, if you go slower opening the tent and mindful of that the orange part can get stuck, then this problem can be overlooked in my opinion.
Despite this problem, I really like the tent. Excellent price for the size. Would have given it 5 out of 5 stars but would say it is 3.8-4.0 out of 5.0

|design flaw or defective?,
on the plus side, it didn’t leak in a severe rain storm and has a lot of capacity for the cost. on the negative, the zippers were constantly getting snagged on the fringe around them…it was ridiculous to have to keep untangling it every time i opened and closed the tent. maybe i had a defective one, but it seemed more like a design flaw. i’ve had great luck with wenzel tents in the past (cheap and usually very reliable), but i’d skip this model. the door’s zipper eventually got so snagged that i had to cut it out in order to have some kind of functioning door, and the tent got ended up getting abandoned after one use. displeased.

|It’s OK,
I really liked that this was easy to set up. We got to our camping spot at 10:00 at night and had never set it up before. It only took about 10 minutes to get it up. It had plenty of space inside for our queen air mattress, and being tall I was able to stand up.
The only problem I found was a manufacturing problem. When I went to unzip the flaps the zipper had been sewed over. I had to take a knife and cut the threads to get them open. Now I will have to re-sew them.
But a nice tent for the money and for the couple times a year camper.
