From REI:
"The Mountain Hardwear Alcove provides three backpackers a simple, roomy, freestanding nook of comfort. Two doors with a generously sized front vestibule and smaller rear vestibule offer convenience and plenty of storage room. Offset pole design creates a vertical main door that increases usable front vestibule space and facilitates a dry entry/exit to and from the tent. Atlas 7001 aluminum poles use Atlas connectors for corrosion- and dent-resistance; they're completely field serviceable, too. Equipped with Atlas Floating pole connectors, poles flex with less stress at the joints, weigh less with more strength and can be fixed without tools. Gated Power Clips at pole intersections increase structural strength. Taped, full-coverage polyester rainfly maintains a taut pitch even when wet. Welded, non-yellowing, non-clouding SVX film window adds light and an outside view. Inverted double rainfly zippers permit easy ventilation and feature laminated flaps for added water resistance. Lightweight narrow webbing rainfly attachment system is adjustable, will not freeze or collect snow, and is repairable in the field. Ripstop nylon canopy with no-see-um mesh door and body panels maintain ventilation to prevent interior condensation. Large mesh pockets and webbing hang loops keep things organized inside. Durable nylon taffeta floor uses polyurethane coating for waterproofness; all seams are taped. Perimeter seams form waterproof tub-style floor that is up off the ground and under the rainfly for extra weather protection. Large stake out loops accept both skis and snow pickets. Bar-tacked stress points add strength and durability; bias-bound zippers allow ease of use and extended zipper life. Specially designed Super-light buckles use narrow webbing, adding to weight savings. Comes with stuff sacks, aluminum stakes and owner's manual."

"I have read the other review of this tent and I don't think it is the most intuitive tent to set up. I have been hiking for years and had several high end tents. The two poles that give the tent the large vestibules are different sizes and the holes that they attach can be confusing, especially at night."

"We got this tent at a great price from Hilton's Tent City www. hiltonstentcity. com and used it in the BWCA. We almost bought the Haven 3 because of the weight, but the Alcove was preferred because of size and so much mesh (we do warmer weather camping, and with the fly it stays plent warm)."
