This tent measures 12 feet by 10 feet and stands 78 inches high in the center. It is supported by six rust-resistant steel poles that are corded together. The tent is divided into two rooms and can comfortably sleep six people. It features four windows and two doors, each with a storm flap and no-see-um mesh. The roof of the tent is open mesh for ventilation and is covered by a detachable rain fly. The tent and the rain fly are made from taffeta coated with polyurethane. The tent's packed weight is 30 lbs.
Perks
Due to the large windows and open roof, this tent ventilates exceptionally well. The rain fly offers good coverage and the eaves above the side windows means you can leave the windows open during light rain. The tent's weight of 30 lbs. is moderate for a tent that houses six and the price is quite reasonable for a cabin tent.
Sacrifices
The divider between the "rooms" in the tent is largely for show and privacy. The zippers are not high quality, easily jamming and proving troublesome. The weight and size of the tent means it is only suitable for campsite and RV camping.
Bottom Line
The tent offers good value for those seeking an entry level cabin tent. However, anyone seeking anything more from a cabin than a simple summer campsite tent would do well to look for tents with greater reliability and slightly higher price tags.
