I like the tent but the floor tarp for the screen room tore immediately. Id put another tarp underneath it to help with that. If wed known it was going to be so flimsy, we would have.
I know it is a 6 Person Tent, but if you want just a hair of room, stick with 4 people.
Holds 2 queen size air mattresses. We personally used 1 queen sized mattress and two small self inflatable for the kids.
Plenty of room.
DO KNOW THIS. The upper portion of the back wall of the tent is mesh, and it cannot be covered/zipped up like the other windows. So this might not be the best tent for the fall/winter. It got a little cool during the night.
As someone else has already stated in their own review, this is a tent that can be purchased at a or Big 5 sporting goods store not a REI or super high quality tent so my review will be mostly based on value at $130 dollars.
I also bought the tent with the intention of going camping with my wife and maybe bring one of our dogs.
I knew I wanted something with a vestibule and this one had one! I also knew I wanted a tent that was a bit larger than a 4 person tent (because I wanted to bring an air mattress as well as have space inside for belongings) so the 6 person tent was a good fit.
What I liked:
I liked the vestibule. I was able to sit outside in July to get a nice breeze and avoid bugs. On my last trip in November I was able to keep a good amount of dirt from getting into the main tent area.
I liked how roomy it was. I was able to fit a queen sized mattress without any issues and still had plenty of space.
Set up is relatively quick there are 2 poles that cross each other making up the main tent, 1 pole that provided space for the vestibule, and 1 pole to go across the tent if you want to use the rain fly.
What could be better:
If you dont use the rain fly there is very little privacy.
The stakes that came with the tent is not of great quality however that could be more user error for bending some.
Overall Ill give the 6 person tent a 4 star because it met my expectations and provided an area to hang out (vestibule) without letting in bugs or too much dirt. What kept it away from being a 5 is I wish the back also had a window instead of being just a screen. Its a bit weird having the front covered, the sides covered, and the back almost completely open.
It was every well done, no bugs got in it. An ever little animals like rat couldnt get-in. my pet couldnt get out, when not needed out out of the tent. Its just a every good tent couldnt be happier with it. It was ship over faster then I thought would
Good tent. Screen room is a good bonus. The screen should come straight down from rain fly rather than angle out though. Great size for two twin air mattresses with room to move between them and room for gear.

Worked great for a family camp out in late summer. Love the porch for extra help keeping mosquitoes out.

When set up properly, rain through screen is minimal.
