I don’t like giving people bad feedback, but in the hopes I can spare others a disappointing purchase, I decided to leave a review.

I tried to set it up in my backyard, the tent was impossible to setup with one person as the legs were really hard to install and the structure of the frame was so wobbly we were afraid after the first leg went on that it would twist and disintegrate as we tried to carefully get the others on. The tent poles were so cheap that the tubes wouldn’t stay together during assembly and two cords broke as we were taking it down the first time. More than half the stakes bent going into the ground.

I suppose it’s possible I’ve been spoiled with really good camping gear my whole life, but I’ve been involved in setting up tents for more than 34 years and have never had a stake bend nor a pole come apart – including poles for tents I had ten years or more. I hate to break it to the manufacturers, but I think his one needs to go back to the drawing board unless it was intended as a one-use tent.
