From Backcountry.com:
"Treat your large family to a weekend outdoors-load the spacious Big Agnes Big House 6-Person Tent into your vehicle and head to the campground. This large three-season tent is easy to set up because Big Agnes color-coded the tent poles that slide through sleeves and quickly clip onto the main body of the tent. Attach the rain fly with buckles to stay dry during the storm. Watch raindrops hit the fly's skylight and, when the storm subsides and the sun peeks out, throw open the storm flap to let air come in through the mesh door. This tent has a high ceiling, so you can stand up inside. Mesh floor-level pockets allow family members to store water bottles, headlamps, reading material, and games inside the spacious Big House Tent. This tent packs as easily as it sets up into a briefcase-style carrying bag."

"Bought this to start family camping with my wife and two boys (2 and 6 years-old). I made the investment upfront, because I knew I'd have the tent for a good 10 years, or more. So we'd need the space.

We fit a queen size Coleman air mattress and two Ridgerest pads with some room to spare for our bags."

Reviewed by Spencer Bowen, Jul 10, 2007

"This is a great tent. Me and my family have used it three times and it has been a good choice. Big Agnes has done a good job sealing all the seams because not a drop of water got inside. Good venting. Easy set up. Good in the wind if you stake it down correctly."
