This tent is easy to pitch (I did it by myself in less than 20 minutes - I expect to get faster with more practice), and has a lot of room. The groundsheet in the porch area can be folded back, which is ideal on wet days as it stops rain & mud being walked into & then onto the tent inners. Not sure how long the fibreglass poles will last, though, as they don't give the impression of being too sturdy. The tension bands are a nice touch. For the price this tent is excellent value. Apart from the poles, I can't fault it.
