Dream House Outdoor Waterproof Cotton Canvas Family Camping Bell Tent

I must start off with I wanted to buy the Playdo brand tent but it wouldn't be in stock before our next camping trip so I "settled" for this one in the 5M size.The tent came in a bag that was oversized so that when folded up later it would still fit in the bag (nice attention to detail). Instructions were simple to follow and the tent was extremely easy to set up even for one person.I set the tent up in the yard at home to test out and season the canvas. After leaving the tent up about a week through several days of rain and thunderstorms with winds up to approximately 30mph, the inside was 100% dry.This past weekend my wife and I took the tent on a three night camping trip here in Kentucky and loved it. A little night rain didn't phase this baby at all.Good:-Waterproof is excellent-Plenty of space for queen airmattress, all the gear and room fora setting area-Very heavy duty floor-Color helps keep out heat from thesunNot so good:-5M size is too heavy to pack morethan a very short distance-Quality Control may not be topnotch, there are a few piles ofexcess stitching in a few places-The door is somewhat short for a10ft. tall tent.-Cannot be set up on hard surfaceswhere you can't drive in the stakesOverall:I would recommend this tent to anyone looking for a long lasting durable alternatithe cheap, cheap, dome, nylon tents that love to leak.

Bought it for our anual camping trips and couldn't be happier. It survived rain, wind and kids. Very comfortable to use and I love that the bottom is detachable so I could clean it separately from the rest of the tent. Used it for my daughter's birthday party sleepover and everyone loved how glampy it is, so I started to have requests from my friends to borrow it.

Pros:1. Sturdy center pole. Holds up during heavy rainstorms. Difficult to knock over, even if you want to. It's not sturdy enough to be a stripper pole, but it's definitely sturdy enough to support the tent.2. Lots of sunlight gets let through. Easy to see inside the tent during the day while staying protected from the sun.3. Looks great from the outside! Very fun to show off.4. Lots of compartment holes on the sides of the tent for ACs or other accessories. Also good for a way to bring in an electrical cable or a light rope or solar panel cable.Cons:1. Very lengthy assembly and disassembly. First time assembly takes ~40 minutes and is labor intensive because of the stakes and ropes. I imagine this time gets reduces for future assembly if you leave the ropes tied on, but it's still a bit of work. Side note, it's suggested you should let the tent get rained on once to let it seal or something like that, but I honestly think it's usable without that step. Water will seep into the inside of the walls and roof only a tiny bit, nothing to be concerned about.2. The entrance is very low, so tall people beware. I found it a bit difficult not to hit my head on the ropes when entering and exiting the tent.3. Ropes to tie it down and stretch it out take up a ton of space and give a lot of walking hazards. It would be nice if the tent had less external supports and more internal supports. This would potentially reduce hazards and setup time.

The tent was easy to set up but ripped and the pole bent in 2 weeks so I don't know how they can say it is a 3 or 4 season tent. I tried to get my money back or just get it replaced, but it weighs 55 pounds and the ups driver left the box in the rain so it is mush. So how can I return this, too much trouble. Horrible customer service, no integrity.

Pros!In spite of being lightweight canvas than expected, it is water proofed or at least pretty water resistant.Because the canvas is a little lighter than expected, it is actually not stupidly heavy (around 70lbs or so in the bag)Based on price, I had expected it to be smaller because I'm a fool who doesn't read product specs good sometimes.Cons:The tent stakes it comes with are meh. Highly recommend stakes you can put in and take out with a wireless drill or some other kind of power tool if available to youHad to figure out how to tie the tie downs onto the tent. This could have been problematic if conditions were any worse on my last trip.The canvas doesn't trap as much heat or cold as some competing models (like the white duck tents) because of it's colour and density but it is still miles better than the more common brightly coloured tents.Things I didn't try with the tent yet:Removing the floor for any reason. It is clearly possibleOverall, super impressed and pleased with this tent! It held up to decent wind (I will need to fix my tie downs before I trust it in a wind storm but around 30 to 40 mph gusts didn't do it much harm) and to a freak rain storm.

Used it as a ready tent for myself and bridesmaids at my outdoor wedding. I love it! Fairly easy to assemble, especially if your a camper and used to tents. Super thick durable material and looks amazing!

I bought this last year and we use it all of the time. We live in Florida and run an AC unit in it. It gets plenty cold. We have guests come and stay for days in it without issue. We honestly have no issue getting it up and down. Recently we had a horrible tropical storm roll in and we lost the roof to our barn. The yurt was fine. We had another storm and the camper roof leaked something awful and the tent was dry as a bone. I am seriously thinking about buying another one just in case I have more people want to come stay while on vacation. I should build some shower houses out here and set up a whole yurt village. People really seem to love staying in it.

We enjoyed using this tent, unfortunately it was damaged during a tornado, but it was great to camp in.
