   we took this on our last camping trip to the redwoods here in California. it was so easy to assemble that myself and my best friend were able to do it on our own. we also put 2 queen sized blowup mattresses inside and there was plenty of room to make a walkway down the middle and room still for our belongings. the lights are so helpful and can really make a difference when camping with children that need to get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. take down was a little tricky only due to trying to get it to the correct size to fit in the bag but once we were able to do it. we will be using this every time we camp.

   So let me first start with the positive. I put this thing up by myself basically with only reading the reviews and videos here. Good tips include putting it halfway up, then putting the rain fly on and then extending the legs all the way up. I put it up alone, it would’ve been easier with the second person, but I had no issue and didn’t even break a sweat. OK the bad this thing leaked water like a sieve. All four corners where the nylon meets the thick tarpaulin type bathtub floor DUMPED water into the tent. it rained pretty good for about an hour and all four corners, you see in the pictures, had a pretty steady trickle of water coming in. in the video, you can also see one of the nylon ties wicking water into the tent. This was pretty annoying and happened on both ends of the tent. I think a quick coat of camp dry would solve that problem but annoying nonetheless

   I just attended the annual Girl Scout spring camping event with my daughters, and we knew that the forecast was for 100% rain one of the days. Well, sure enough the forecast was true and it started raining around 3:00AM and rained the entire Saturday. The tent held up very well as far as water leaks goes. I had one little issue with a little water coming in by the door zipper. That very well could have been due to it no being closed properly, so that was not a game changer at all. The built in lighting is awesome and very adequate lighting. My little one appreciated the night light function. I was happy to see that CORE added a few hooks at the top of the tent for lantern, fans and the such. My other CORE 9 person tent did not have any. The instant set up function is always a plus, we got the the site a little late and got everything set up before night fall. When they advertise the tent as a 12 person tent, I take that as a general estimate of it’s size. It was three of us and we had two full inflatable mattresses, a zero gravity chair, two small tables and plenty of space of various gear. The only caveat that I can think of is that the rain fly is a bit tricky to put on, and probably is better with two people. I would recommend this brand and this tent.

   We left it near the beach with all our stuffs inside due to sudden heavy rain, lightning and strong wind….next day we found it upside down however we brought it back and after Clenaing it was ready again for next camping. Great quality & comfort.

   Easy to put up – took 2 of us about a minute to do so – and took 1 of us not much longer to put it down and pack it up – the first tent I have never struggled to get back in the bag.

   But the bragging-rights go to the in-built lights – if you want to be the envy of your group, this is the tent for you!

   Tent is good quality, goes up and down as advertised – instantly – exactly as advertised.

   Pros: Cool design, cool look, innovative design. Cons: 1. The tent was mis-assembled from the factory. The poles were structurally incorrect and we had to bust out a screwdriver and disassemble them and then correctly reassemble them. I don’t know how they even got the tent to fold into the package. Nothing seems broken, so that’s good. 2. The outside light switch: only the nightlight switch works. Turning on the full-power/dimmed inside lights from the outside is a no-go. The inside of the switch works fine/normal. 3. As shown in the photos, the tent is missing a loop on each side to tether the room divider to the sides. I’d send this tent back for a replacement but the box is broken down already. It’s a very decent tent but they’d better get on top of their QC situation. Update: We’re officially camping in the tent for the first time. It’s easy to set up and easy to get the rain fly attached. We just had a horrible lightning storm with a LOT of wind blow through and the tent did just fine. We curled up in bed throughout the storm, which lasted about 45 minutes and was really violent. My only gripe (and this could be fixed with a redesign of the rain fly,) is that the rain fly didn’t keep rain from flying up under it and the water drops hit the screen and splattered us – just a little bit. In short, the rain fly doesn’t protect the windows *quite* enough. I would also gripe that the tent fabric isn’t totally taught and seems a little bit baggy. Our site is perfectly flat and level and I’ve pulled this thing straight from 4 corners and the fabric is still a little loose. The built-in lighting is so clutch, though. That’s a really nice touch. All in all, I’m adding two stars to my original 2 stars due to the pounding the tent just took in that thunderstorm. Job well done. If CORE gets on top of its QC and extends the rain fly, this is a 5-star tent all day long

   Great quality and way easy to set up! Larger than I thought but will be perfect when the dogs go with us! The lights are an added great feature. It poured when hubby went and he stayed dry.. not a bad word to say about this tent!
