From Backcountry.com:
"Take the family car camping with the Big Agnes Big House 4 Tent for four people. This large, spacious three-season tent features easy set-up so you can pitch it in a hurry and move on to making dinner for your hungry kids. Big Agnes made set-up a cinch with color-coded poles that both slide through sleeves and clip onto the main body and buckles that attach the fly. Mesh floor pockets help family members stay organized, and a high ceiling means that you don't have to crawl into this tent. When a storm rolls in, the fly keeps you dry, and a built-in welcome mat gives kids a place to stand or sit while they remove their shoes. The Big House Tent packs into a briefcase style carrying bag, so it's as easy to pack as it is to set up. Split between two adults, you could carry this luxe tent into the backcountry."

Reviewed by Prairie Camper, Aug 19, 2008

"I purchased the Big Agnes Big House 4 because I wanted a tent that was tall enough for me to somewhat stand up in (I'm 6 ft tall), but with a small enough footprint to prevent me being a space hog in a small camp with a number of other campers. In this respect, the Big Agnes was ideal."

"I have only gone camping with the tent one time but really enjoyed it. The design is great. Yes, it is good to take advantage of the guy lines on the fly to get proper stability. Concept/design wise this tent is a winner. The roll up fly for view/ventilation, even with all guy lines employed is great."

"We carried the Big House 4 three and a half miles split between two packs. Set up was easy with two people and the tent felt sturdy staked out.

We found it very spacious and the side pockets endless. My height is 5'8" and I had room to spare standing."

"I quickly returned this tent after a weekend of using it. First the “features”: the welcome mat seemed a nice feature at first; but then it rained, and the waterproof mat turned into a puddle – right in front of the door. The skylight also seemed a nice feature."
