My wife has been wanting a new tent. She found one at a local big box store, and it was on sale.![Compress_20240619_014922_2319.jpg](/forum/data/attachments/4/4339-f85aebc36980280c00b951b3dc8f5655.jpg)
I was very skeptical. I like the cabin style tent, but uh I don't know about this.
After we returned home with it, I put it up.![Compress_20240619_015601_1155.jpg](/forum/data/attachments/4/4341-538a73136091214dbb257f88a36f32a0.jpg)

It went up quick and easy. No poles to put together. It had guy lines in the corners for staking out. No rain fly? Uh no I wasn't happy about that. So anyhow in I went. It has two small vents in the top![Compress_20240619_015601_1511.jpg](/forum/data/attachments/4/4343-aaa5b453c5a4eebdb7eb0757fda5c4c4.jpg)
Not to bad I guess? I don't camp in hot weather, so as long as there is no moisture build up it should be fine. Then I got looking at the seams![Compress_20240619_015602_2000.jpg](/forum/data/attachments/4/4344-d2fb49478d1bb76b66c99bee5c7de822.jpg)

They were all taped except down low where the floor was sewn to the sides. I'm impressed. I've never had a tent with taped seams.
The size and shape I do like. I like being able to stand upright in a tent and I like the, almost, vertical walls. Another thing I am happy with is the mostly square floor plan. When we go camping we take an inflatable air bed, I hate those things. I don't think they are very comfortable either. My wife prefers to be warm when she sleeps. She would slide over next to me, and then I would get uncomfortably hot. So I would try to slide away to cool off. Well a big air mattress will not work in this tent. We will need our own cots! Yay no more wife making me sweat in the middle of the night, and no more someone stealing my covers. This tent may work out.
