I have taken this tent out and set it up effortlessly in 15 minutes. I've read reviews that have complained about leaking. Every time I have had this tent up, it has poured! Lightning and thunder, too! No Leaks, I repeat, no leaks! The only way that I can see this tent leaking, is if the rainfly is not taut... I have tied it down with the extra guide lines (included) and it was great, no movement. The envy of the campground.

Size-wise, everybody referred to us as being in the "Hotel". I am 6'1" and I can stand, up-right, right next to the windows. Plenty of room, and I also recommend purchasing the vestibule to go along with it. Attaching the vestibule gives you more indoor storage and more privacy. You can keep your "front door" open for air movement. Love this tent!
