Title: It's very easy and quick to set up and the dark room technology actually works
Review: My wife and I have been camping together for many years and this one had been the easiest big tent to set up. I'm 6'4" and I can stand up tall inside with hitting my head. It has room for two queen size air mattresses. It does keep it cooler inside with the dark room technology actually helps quite a bit. We camped in FL memorial weekend and just had a battery powered farm to keep us cool and we were fine.

Title: Great size for a family of 4, love dark room
Review: I was worried this would be too big for 4, but it was great. The darkroom is amazing and I would not take any other more expenses test without this over this.This tent held up well enough in strong winds and rain. We had sustained ~30mph winds and it didn't break, although we really staked and weighted the tent to hope not to break it or have it blow away. Set up was pretty easy and fast.

Title: Sturdy tent that fared well in several storms
Review: Pros. Stood firm in severe thunderstorm where others collasped/flooded. There was only a little water in one corner.Blocks out light and therefore heat in summer weather. It still gets warm, but not as stifling as traditional tents.Cons. No power cord access so the only way to have power inside is through the door. It's dark inside and a lamp is needed to see inside even with full sun outside. The stakes easily bend, so recommend more sturdy stakes.Easy to put up. I would say about 20 minutes is a more reasonable amount of time. The carry bag is expandable enough to hold the tent, an 8X10 tarp, and a rubber mallet as long as patience to let the air out and compress the tent is taken.

Title: Great tent!
Review: I got the 4 person with dark room technology and I’m very happy with it! I’m 5’7” so I can’t stand straight up but it’s tall enough that I didn’t have to bend much. I had a full size 15” tall air mattress in there and it worked great! I wouldn’t go much taller than that with the mattress though. The dark room worked great and kept it cooler and darker in the morning. Great ventilation even with rain fly on. For those nice nights though, it’s great to take the rainfly off and stargaze without bugs eating you. Only downside is the little awning above the door doesn’t stick out far enough to catch all the rain so go in and out quick. Otherwise it was waterproof and the extra storage nets inside are really handy. Overall, great tent

Title: Camping is great when you can sleep in
Review: This truly is the darkest affordable tent I have ever used. I’ve used canvas tents and they are great but the price of one of those is ridiculous. It was spacious and easy to set up and take down. I am 5’10” tall and my partner is over 6’. We both loved not having to crouch down and crawl around in our tent. This definitely elevated the camping experience

Title: Major quality control issues
Review: Update:I wrote the original review after setting up the tent in the back yard and getting initial impressions. I've owned and/or slept in many tents before from both the low and high end of the price spectrum and went off my past experiences as to how I figured this tent would perform. Well, after my first trip I can tell you I was very wrong and will be returning this tent:1. There is a defect in one of the poles. I knew about ths when I wrote the initial review and figured that it wasn't a huge deal because coleman was more than willing to send me a replacement pole. But along with the other defects it points to some major quality control issues2. The seam between the back floor and the wall was never completely stitched. There is about a one inch gap without any stitching in the back corner between the floor tarp and the wall.. This caused me to cut short my 3 day camping trip to 2 days as there was rain in the forecast on the final day .3. The door zippers on this tent are just terrible. They catch fabric about 90% of the time unless you zip/unzip with two hands to prevent it from happening. This is a pain in the rear end to do every single time. Got a flashlight or a water bottle in your hand? You have to put it down to open the tent. The more the zippers catch on the fabric the quicker they will start taking water.On top of all of that, I have decided the darkroom aspect of this tent is just not for me. I can say that for the most part it does work as advertised except that light easily penetrates the floor tarp material. However that would not bother me much if I was trying to take a nap. And I did like that it allows you to sleep in longer in the morning. This is an undeniable plus. But Coleman also advertises that the dark coating keeps the tent cooler, and that is not what I found. During the middle of the day it was high 70s outside and pushing what felt like 100 degrees in the tent with the door closed. If I open the door then it is no longer dark, and with the tarp on you can't really get good airflow with only one window. Besides, I found during the day I don't want to have it dark inside the tent. It really helps to have light in there when you want to tidy up, look for a change of clothes, find your toothbrush, etc.And finally, after further consideration I think the rainfly is probably inadequate. It is not a full coverage rainfly and after a few uses water will probably seep in around the tent seams. I could in good conscience only recommend this tent to someone who either a) cannot afford to spend more or b) uses a tent rarely and never in wet weather or c) someone who really really likes it dark in their tentOriginal Review:I think for the money this tent is good value. I have owned many tents over the years, both backpacking and car camping style. This tent is pefectly fine, good even. While you could technically sleep 6, you probably wouldn't want to, and some of your gear would have to be stored outside. But every manufacturer sizes their tent this way. The dark room feature does block out a lot of light, but it's not perfect. As other reviews have mentioned the floor lets in a decent amount of light. It still helps some, though. The tent comes with a few extras I wasn't expecting-- a gear loft and a matt for your shoes outside. The rain fly does not have edge to edge coverage, and I wouldn't expect this thing to perform all that great in a strong storm, but for light rain it will probably be serviceable for a few seasons. One thing I like about these coleman tents is the bathtub tarp floors. They're pretty durable and waterproof. You just have to be careful that there are no pointy rocks where you pitch your tent that could poke pinholes.My tent came with one defect-- one of the main poles was missing a rubber ball on the end. The tent was still usable, but over the exposed pole edge would probably cut into the fabric. I called up coleman, and customer service was actually pleasant to deal with. They sent me a replacement part without any hassle, which meant I didn't have to deal with a return. That's a win for both Coleman and myself. There is a loop for a lantern at the top and a few pockets, but more storage pockets are always better. I'm also not sure if the mesh is fine enough to keep no see ums out, but that isn't a problem where I live.

Review: Easy to setup, felt sturdy with 2 cross poles and a pole for the canopy.Dark Room really makes a difference only light inside once zipped up comes from the tub ground sheet and the sides of the fly sheet, it also feels a lot cooler inside.Packing away is fairly easy and almost got it back in the bag without using the extra cut away piece on the bag.As with any dark room tent you do see a few pin pricks of light through the fly sheet.The pegs in the bag are ok for fair weather use but would advise better pegs.
