Please move the lantern hooks
We absolutely love this tent. It’s sturdy, roomy, easy to set up, and absolutely dark inside. Plenty of storage especially for two people. The screen above offers plenty of ventilation. My only thing is, why did they put two lantern hooks side by side in the middle of the tent? It would make more sense to put one on each half. Please move the lantern hooks. I can’t even hang a fan without it hitting the center divider. Thank you!

Too hot & not blockout with sun-through rainfly!
Rainfly needs to be sun blockout too - Black hot tent needs ceiling screens open to vent heat. But then, the rainfly lets sun right through! Defeats the purpose of paying extra for blockout sun tent! :( Also, the storage pockets need to be on the ends of tent where your heads are, not in the center. Lastly, wish it was 10' wide as it is a very tight fit for queen & full air matresses side by side. The 10' x 14' -10 person tents works well. Good quality and zippers & fast & easy setup & teardown. Hot as F tho! Needs blockout sun rainfly!

Love this tent! All the bells and whistles!
Most brilliant tent we've ever owned! Quick set-up and take-down with one person! We can sleep in while camping again! 2 rooms so we can zip our children in the other side and sleep in until 10! Windows in all the right places, reflective strips help you easily see the tent at night, rain fly, lantern holders and large mesh pockets in both rooms. We've used this tent several times this year and aren't regretting this purchase at all! Held up well in the rain too. A must-have if you aren't a get up at the crack of dawn type of person! Plenty of room for 2 queen air mattresses and gear around all the sides in each room! Exactly what we wanted!

Camping in style
This tent offers quite a space increase over our former tent we had for ten year, a 6 person instant blackout tent from another brand. We have room for our Queen air mattress on cots on one side, the divider reaches right to the foot of that bed. Having the second room is awesome for getting up mid night or morning to visit the scenery. The setup is doable with one person, I recommend using a second with the rain fly at the least as this tent stands about 2 feet taller than our last. We are both about 5'6". We love the headroom inside, no need for constant ducking to change or get around the bed. And holy moly the darkness is no joke, a tad disorienting if you sleep late like we enjoy. Some light does come in at bottom seams which does help. It's a great tent and we are very happy we upgraded to it!

Awesome
Love this tent. Bought it a couple months ago. But I did lose the rain fly rods. Is there a way that I can buy them?

Very thoughtful design
Bought this tent a few weeks ago and we love it. It was time for an upgrade, and with a 5 year old, having the blackout feature was a game changer. Better and longer sleep for all three of us. The setup and take down are very easy. The design is just really well thought out. I LOVE the storage and mesh pockets throughout. So much easier to stay organized. I will say that I wouldn't go past having 4 people in it. More would fit, but it would feel tight. Definitely would recommend this. It was worth the spend.

It's OK. Wish it had a full rain cover.
I generally purchase high end tents. My last tent lasted me over 20 years as we care for them. We never put them away damp and we weather proof them each year. This tent is very dark witch is great. We take a 6000 room air conditioner and it kept the tent very cold on a 90° day. Only thing do not like is the for zippers are poorly designed and get cought where the fabric meets each time you try to open the door. Also there are several holes in the tent and light shines through. I'm going to try to patch them as it's too much work to return the tent. It is a easy set up
