I am hoping someone out there can help me.  I am looking for a reasonably priced tent to accommodate myself and my 3 kids for weekends when the OH is working.  Ideally, it would need to be relatively simple to erect, as my eldest is 10 and although he can stand and hold poles in place, it will be me doing the majority of the pitching!  I have seen this and wondered if anybody has any experience of this tent as I can't find any reviews etc. of if there is anything else you would recommend.

Thoughts and comments would be very welcome - thank you in advance.

 Go to all of the camping and outdoor stores in your area and ask for the opinions and suggestions of the staff, or better still if possible go to a tent show where you will find all sorts of different tents from different manufacturers on show, you can look around them check them for size etc and I am sure that the staff would be happy to show you what goes into putting them up.
