I bought this tent on clearance at WalMart a few years ago. I love my tent! It doesn't leak, it has held up in severe storms, and it takes all of 3 minutes to set it up, and another 5 to put the rain fly on. I have had MANY tents (3 stay at home while I use this one), and the Ozark First-up is a definite keeper! I didn't expect much... bought it for its entertainment value, really. What a surprise. A little on the small side, but fine for two adults. In the beginning, the spring-loaded mechanism is very tight... takes SEVERAL uses to break it in. Might need some help the first couple of uses to get the mechanism pulled down into place.

I wish I could find this tent in a 12' x 12' model!!! I highly advise that a tarp be used under this (and any other) tent, as that's where most water will get in... although this one hasn't leaked. I have had a drop or two of water get through the floor in HEAVY downpours with blowing winds, but not in normal rain showers. Great tent for a beginner or someone who likes to travel light.
