Here's what other sites are saying:

From REI:
"A robust, livable structure, the REI Base Camp tent is for camp enthusiasts who favor more remote, exposed sites. Its time-tested, proven design will serve you well for years to come. Features a mountaineering-style geodesic pole design that is powerful and yet easy to set up; Base Camp's weather-worthy profile lends a backpack tent ''feel''. Generous mesh paneling and doors aid ventilation. 2 ceiling vents aid air flow in and out of the tent to reduce condensation, and can be accessed from the inside the tent. Large front and rear doors with vestibules offer easy access and ample space to store gear; front vestibule's window lets light and views in. UV-resistant, full coverage polyester rainfly will not stretch or expand when wet, ensuring a consistently taut pitch. Bound, cut-in floor creates the taut, water-resistant pitch. A combination of clips and sleeves is quick to set up and adds to the tent's stability. Mesh attic and interior pockets keep your tent organized and puts small items close at hand; hang loops located throughout tent. Doors tuck cleanly away into interior pockets. Convenient backpack-style carry bag organizes tent, fly and poles with extra space for footprint; footprint sold separately. Comes with 12 stakes, 4 guylines with tighteners, pole repair tube and gear attic. Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only."

"Just completed a 20 day, 6,000 mi. camping tour and encountered all weather conditions other than snow from 60 mph winds in the Badlands to thunderstorms and heavy rain in the Rockies. The REI Base Camp 4 performed flawlessly.

Barely vibrated in the wind (using guylines), no leaks in the rain, plenty of ventilation in the hot, humid Great Plaines."

"I bought this tent before a trip up to Black Rock Mountain State Park (GA). I was looking for a car-camping tent that would hold two people + gear comfortably and would stand up well to inclement weather. The Base Camp 4 performed admirably.

It was easy enough to set up, and can be done by one person."

"Great tent for family of three. Traded in a Taj 3, which was too small. Easy set up. Kept us dry for ten days in Alaska. Lots of room for gear, good ventilation. Couldn't have been happier."

"I am suprised at the prior review. I've been camping in the Colorado Rockies for over 15 years and this is the best "family" tent I have owned. Very good construction and well designed. I could not be more pleased."

"Set up initially at home in the yard -- setup is average, pole tips design very nice, as it does not snag on mesh sleeves. Couple days later we took it on an overnight "try-out. " The tent is roomy enough. The door design makes getting in and out of the tent a bit of bother, as you have to stoop quite a bit."
