It worked really well, but the cross breeze wasn’t quite enough. I suggest bringing a portable fan for extremely hot days! Also, we had a really hard time folding it back up. It was sturdy & worked well for the baby to nap in and stay out of the sun! Good value
I have pitched many a tent in my life, but I have never pitched one that is as easy as this one. It's beyond easy, it super simple and almost automatic. The pole/legs are permanently attached, so there's no messing around with loose poles and having to assemble them and slip them into a loop on the tent. Just lift up the center piece and fold down the legs. Viola! The problem with this tent is that's small--much smaller than what I imagined when I ordered it. If you flip through the pictures on the listing page, you'll notice that none of them have a person standing next to the tent. Whether that's intentional I'll let you decide, but I've provided a picture of me standing next to it. I'm 5'8", so you can tell how short it actually is. The dimensions are clearly published, but unless you pay close attention, you might not realize that you couldn't stand up in this unless you were a kid. I like that it has doors and screens on all four sides. I wish the rainfly actually covered more of the tent. It barely covers the top that is only a screen without the rainfly. That does have an advantage if you aren't expecting rain and like looking at the stars. As long as you realize the height is listed as 51.18 inches (just over 4 ft) you'll probably be happy. (Note: the 61" shown in the pictures is to the top piece on the outside of the tent, not the inside ceiling.) However, I think for the price you can likely do better.
Works great! Easy to install and had all the tools included that were needed to install. Installed this on a 10’ x 10’ yard tent. It was super easy and took about 15 mins to completely install.
It was abit windy and it rained for 24 hours. It held up. Don’t see how it wouldn’t if I also have the rope strings attached to the tarp.. worked out great for me! I do wish the bottom could have the option to maybe screw into the ground (for other scenarios/setup designs) because if those trees weren’t there I’m not sure it would have held up.
I Initially really liked this tent BUT found a defective tent pole segment on my 3rd use. Specifically: bought it in Aug 2024, used it successfully for two 1-nighters in Sep 2024, then didn't use it for 6 months due to winter, then ran into this problem on my 3rd use, a 3-nighter in March 2025. The defect is that one of the small metal connector segments slipped inside its tent pole segment (see pics) so it doesn't brace and I had to improvise a splint. Back home, I was able to push and pry the metal connector segment back out, but it will still need a permanent splint. Contacted Cascade Designs/MSR but got no response in 3 weeks despite followup efforts. Their "customer service" phone number only refers back to their webpage, no live person answers. Come on MSR, do better! If I ever get a satisfactory response (like repair or replacement of the tent pole assembly), I'll improve my review to 4 stars. I did like the size, weight, price, rectangular floor (as opposed to tapered) and that it has 2 doors/2 rain fly porches (1 on each side). It fit 3 adults or 2 adults+1 large dog comfortably.
This tent is very roomy very private and has everything needed. The zipper door was perfect to keep the sand out/more shade and I like how the windows do not use zippers…. My dog SAINT love it….. Idea the front floor sure could use a couple of sand bags! The color is beautiful easy to put up once you know you know! Remember an X position for the polls and you will be fine!
Great pop-up tent!! It's such a cute color, has a bunch of pockets, & is pretty deep, so baby will definitely be in the shade at any angle. The little window in the back is great to extra air flow. The instructions are attached to the tent & I'm keeping it that way cause folding it back can seem intimidating BUT following the instructions I was able to quickly figure out the first time! There's even some videos on how to do it if more help is needed. It folds very compactly & there's even room in the bag for towels, diapers, toys, etc.
The corners ripped after putting in the roof supports while setting this up for the first time. Will be returning for a refund.
These were the best purchase for our last summer vacation. There is a bit of a learning curve in putting these up so that they are stretched to their maximum coverage. However, after you get it up the first time you will learn from your mistakes. During the week that we used them last, we probably had over a dozen people stop and say how nice our set up looked. Very impressed. Very impressive.
It’s perfect for one person to put up and take down wrapping it up to put in the back took about 12 minutes but I am also disabled it is about 50 pound it’s not a light weight tent but worth every pound in my opinion spacious interior two full bed fit easily
Can’t wait to put it to use. Will come back with a review.
Práctico para un bebé , fácil uso a nosotros nos a gustado . Nuestro bebé durmió bien protegido del sol y arena , si recomiendo ponerle debajo algo más “acolchadito” pero por lo demás cool .
Ordered this after our friends had a similar one on our last trip together. This tent comes with a convenient carry case, which is maybe about size of a large tote bag (though thin and lightweight). Inside is the tent itself and a smaller bag with stakes to hold down parts if it's windy. Instructions are attached to the tent itself. Literally took seconds to pop it open when taking it out of the bag. Took not much longer than that to twist and fold it away; also was very easy to put it back in the tote (not always the case). Nice size as you could zip up door and maybe even change clothes inside. Can easily cover 2-3 seated adults in the shade. Has vents for the wind in the back and front opens up like a beach blanket. Better and easier to carry than a beach umbrella. Love it!
Overall we love it. Easy to set-up/take down Wish top front was more longer Love the sandbags for weighing down, however It wasn’t overly windy when used Way better than our old corded stick canopy
First time putting it up wasn’t hard. 20th floor, windy up here, now I can enjoy enjoy the balcony without the wind. Secured to the rails so let’s see how it holds. 1st day, very pleased…
