Just to add to the mycooltent criticism (they're out of business by the way, no website anymore, can't get a copy of the instruction book, not responding to emails etc)
I recently bought one of the buyer beware ones from ebay (so I was warned...). Exactly the same issues the other poster has had - leaking around the a frame door, the skirt which sticks out from the SIG is begging to have water collect on it which would then sit against the canvas (and because the canvas comes right down to ground level if you tuck the skirt under I can't see how the canvas would do anything but then sit against the ground itself).
There was also leakage all around the perimeter in heavy rain (much reduced by ensuring guys were fully stretched and taut).There were no leaks under the main body of the tent, no dripping so the canvas itself is sound, but I think the seems are poor, and the canvas doesn't take well to stretching around the A Frame poles.
I got it at a bargain price, so I'm considering using a tent valet service to stitch the skirt up against the canvas to leave a bathtub effect, and paying for them to redo the seals - if that costs less than £150 and it works, I've broken even vs buying one from belltent.co.uk
But really... I've used belltent.co.uk's tents in the past, and they are awesome in terms of quality. Pay the extra if you buy new, unless you want hassle just to get the thing in working order.
