Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"Trailheads are more comfortable than home with the Kelty's 5-Person, 3-Season Mantra 5 Tent. Unlike lesser family tents, the Mantra uses high quality DAC aluminum poles and a mix of clip and sleeve construction, for a mix of toughness and ventilation in wind and weather for years to come. You don't buy a Mantra for the weekend, you buy one of these collapsible mansions for life. Double doors, each with noiseless zipper pulls and individual vestibules, let everyone do their nighttime business without disturbing the rest of the tent. Taped floor seams mean the Mantra can literally be sitting in a couple inches of water and nobody inside will notice. The Mantra's poles and clips are color-coded so you aren't standing at the campsite scratching your head, and thoughtful details like the interior organizer wall give a level of polish seldom seen in a car camping tent. If you're camping with a big group, or just want a lot of space, the Mantra should be the first tent you grab for."

"this is the tent our family of 4 spent 9 days in while car-camping in yellowstone. to say that we were very comfortable every nite would be an understatement. this tent offers plenty of room for 4 (with backpacks stacked). every nite we sat up and played cards."

"My daughter received a Kelty Mantra 5 from Santa three years ago. She's 8 now, and for the past three years she's really enjoyed camping out! The Mantra 5 is exceptionally well designed, has many special features, and is a very high quality tent. It has never leaked a single drop of water, despite camping in blowing rains, even snow! We've camped in the mountains of North Carolina, at the coast of North Carolina, and in the Florida Keys."
