We just used our 6 person tent for the first time this past weekend and it was perfect! It was really easy to put up (only 3 poles!!) and my husband and I are usually tent-challenged! We used it without the rain fly since we had really warm dry weather (Olympic National Park end of August!). We were able to fit 3 twin inflatable mattresses inside but I dont think a 4th would have fit - so I think 2 queen mattresses might be a very tight fit. We loved the screened porch area! Perfect spot for my 4 year old son to play away from the bugs. And it was a great place to put our dog so he wasnt always leashed to a tree. Note that there isnt just a small window in the back that cannot be closed - the entire back upper panel of the tent is all screen - the rain fly covers it but since we didnt use that we were quite exposed but luckily we didnt have anyone camped behind us so we were fine. I highly recommend this tent for small families and for casual summer campers. I would agree with other reviewers that you might want to get some stronger stakes - we used the ones that came with and the ground was a bit hard and we bent a few of the stakes but they still worked and got the job done. We are very pleased with this tent and the price was fantastic!
Perfect tent for our family!
