Here's what other sites are saying:

From REI:
"A robust, livable structure, the REI Base Camp 6 tent is for camp enthusiasts who favor more remote, exposed sites. Its time-tested, proven design now has increased mesh for improved breathability. 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 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."

"Outstanding car camping tent. Roomy (especially when you consider the vestibules), very sturdy and nicely put together--handles wind and rain very well. Easy set-up."

"I rented this tent from REI for a weekend camping trip. I've been doing a lot of research and thought I'd try out this tent before actually buying it. It worked out beautifully. First time setup was on site in the dark. Had a few friends help out and it was up within minutes."

"I bought this tent to accompany my son to Scout Camp and was the envy of the adult leaders. During 24 hours of rain 3+ inches,everything stayed dry. The fly extends down to the ground and is attached to the tent with quick release buckles. The front vestibule, extending out far enough with enough height, allows me to sit in my camp chair, stay dry and watch the rain come down."

"I set up in the yard to evaluate and found same problem as previous reviewer. (Didn't read first. ) I actually love the overall design of the tent it's perfect for my needs. However it rained a lot since it's been up and the tie backs are definitley a problem."
