I’ve owned this tent for about 3-4 years now and it’s held up pretty well for how cheap this tent was. The only real issue I have with this tent is the door zipper, it loves to get jammed so you have to keep zipping and unzipping it until you get it just right while applying some tension. It’s kept me dry from several storms with only minor puddles on the floor. After all this time the only damage to the tent was cracking a tent pole last set up, but that was due to my own rushed set up.
The tent is big but I think the dome shaped made the tent slightly shorter on the sides. For me, I prefer for it to be wide and high after trying the dome tent (which was my first)
