Agree with above post.
Baggy bedroom likely down to baggy tent, and no need (fingers crossed) to treat a new tent.
Ideally, you should have got the hose on it, checked for possible leaks, and acted accordingly. Chances are, any leaks, if at all, would be at the seams, so maybe just a little seam sealer required? Any leaks through the actual material should require just one action... Refund!
Easier said than done at this time of year, of course, and presumably not in your garden (After hosing, it would need time to dry before putting away).
Take some seam sealer with you when you go camping proper, but do nothing unless you find it is actually leaking... in fact if it does leak at the seams during the first rain fall, then still leave it. Allow it all to dry and see what happens next time it rains. Sometimes, those seams can heal themselves just by getting wet and dry (The thread swells up, and fills the needle holes, basically!)
... Oh... and a big well done and thanks for the pics. Always good to see tent pics!
