Having won a "bargain" on Ebay I put it up to find it leaked in the lightest of showers. I contacted Tentastic through the Ebay message service and I was sent a new flysheet without question. It's now pitched in the garden awaiting the next deluge.
I can not condone the selling of shoddy merchandise but I can commend Tetastic's customer service and if I do get a 2-man weather-proof tent for the £15 (incl p&p) I paid then I'll be happy. If not it'll be protecting next years Tomato plants.
Good luck Flikflak on your new tent.

The Tentastic Leben Unna has been pitched in the garden for 5 days now. The replacement flysheet has held up to the heavy rain and strong winds quite well. No tears, seams are still holding but there is a leak around the side "d" shape door. It's nothing a spot of Fabsil can't cure. I think it's more a design issue than poor manufacture.
I wouldn't say it'd be my first (or third) choice to pitch but for festivals or rallies it should be fine.
I've bought a tent on ebay this year. I bought a Skandika one. They are in Germany, but I must say it is beautifully made, brand new and there's lots to choose from. They only appear to sell on Ebay, but I did have to speak to the seller, by phone in Germany (not for a problem on their part!) and the customer service I spoke to was excellent. Its a lovely tent and is exactly as it looks on the pictures. Very reasonable prices even with the p&p from Germany. Recieved tent within 5 days of winning too.

I'm sure members of this site would be interested to find out how well your tent performs after a few camping trips. Perhaps you'd like to post a quick review when you get a chance?
