Very easy and quick to put up, and packs away easily in the compact bag.

Very spacious and great family tent with 2 bedrooms side by side.

Agree with previous rev another couple of tent poles would be handy.

My only dislike is that the large front entrance is not fully sealed like the other 2 doors and is just pegged down, hence 9/10

Our first family tent !

Comes well packed in carry bag, well thought out design, (in my opinion) Has withstood heavy thunderstorms twice, with no sign of water entry. Very snug and comfortable with the addition of matched tent carpet.

As with previous review also felt having a 2nd set of `porch poles` would have been useful, we also paid well below rrp!

The flexibility of this tent is what attracted me to it - the changing room layout is useful with a very young family.

I was surprised how easy it was to put up - I had set myself up for a far greater effort than was required, it took no time at all. The flexibility of the poles is also impressive in a strong wind. It's only been up in light showers though - so cannot comment on waterproofing.

I also like the way it packs down quite small - and the carry bag is well designed.

A positive thumbs up in every way - the only things that stopped me giving it a 10/10 is there are only 2 'porch poles' so you cannot have both porches open at the same time unless you buy a spare set, and the fact that the RRP is quite high, although I got mine for £199.99 (Gelert quote £279.99 on their website) without it being in a sale!
