I used this in a setup where it was up 24/7 for over a year. I didn’t waterproof it and it was in every element. The downsize like any tent with a front entrance area is that water will always get in and pool in there. So just use a taller rubber mat inside or underneath. The stakes were ok even though i always use aluminum with ties. It sets up great and only shifts on the poles lightly which I attribute to being set up by one person alone. Here’s why I bought it and why it was a total lifesaver- no matter why you want a dark tent; if you are older have young kids are light sensitive or are a outdoors guide at night and need to sleep during the day you know tents aren’t ideal. This tent absolutely lives up to its name of dark room. I got the larger size and it just fit a 6” tall queen air mattress with enough space for bags one either size and boots in front. 100% recommend.

It's not perfect but it's one hell of a tent. It's fairly easy to setup taking me about 20 minutes the first time and in pitch dark too. It's spacious and I really love the built-in screen room. There's no bug or rain so we used the screen room as a storage and stepping stone to the tent. I really like it that my shoes and dry in the morning and other things that we might need is right there without taking up inner tent room. The darkroom technology was great allowing us to not be bothered when the sunrise early in the morning. It fits a queen size airbed and a full size foam pad and I still have room to safely use the tent heater in the corner. The only thing that this tent could be better is if the screen room is properly covered by the rainfly. The tent is stylish and it's just the right size.

Overall I gave this product 4 stars, simply because there are a couple of design flaws that are workable but were slight oversights by the design department. First, the main door into the tent has a very high step to get over, and you have to stoop to clear the top at the same time. My almost 2 year old can barely get her leg over it without tripping, and I tripped a couple of times. Second, the overhang for the vestibule could have been designed better. The top sits back at an angle, so rain goes straight in (not to mention the sides of the top are mesh, not just the front). We let it sit on our back porch in the rain over the weekend to test the waterproofness and it did very well except that the floor in the vestibule puddled up (which I was expecting). They should have made the rainfly at least come up over the top of the vestibule. That being said, it's easy enough to attach a tarp or plastic sheeting to the top to create a makeshift cover. It was also almost impossible for me to set up myself (and I'm well-practiced at setting up tents alone). Because you feed the poles through cloth tubes rather than external clips the poles get stuck easily. The last problem is that the zipper for the vestibule doesn't have a hand-hold loop at the bottom so you have to either step on or hold down the door to open it, but that's a minor annoyance. Pros: I wanted something that would keep the long summer days from keeping our daughter up too late, and to keep the morning light from waking us too early - at least until she's a little older. The product was a significant change from my 2-person tent, which was hardly long enough for my husband to stretch out in (he's 6' 1"). This tent is VERY roomy on the inside, and I can stand almost all the way up in it (I'm 5' 4"). We used two tri-fold hide-a-mats that are 30"x84" and could have fit one more if we didn't care about having space for our packs inside. As far as the darkroom technology, I think it does great! Compared to my other tent, I didn't even notice the morning light until about 9am when we camped in our backyard. Normally the sun will wake us by around 7am. However, you HAVE to have the rainfly on in order to get the full effect because the roof is mostly mesh, and light will still get in around the sides. It's not pitch-black in there, but you will want some kind of lightsource because it does stay very dark. The awnings on the rainfly were a nice design touch and we were able to hang paper lanterns under there for ambiance. It also did do a pretty great job of keeping the temperature low. I didn't measure the temperature but it felt a few degrees cooler in the tent than outside during the day. Overall, I think this tent is fantastic and worth the price! Pretty easy to set up if you have two people (or a lot of patience), and only a couple of small complaints that are easy to work around.

Purchased in 2017 and its just barely starting to go out on me after being taken out multiple times every summer. Poles are still in great shape, but 9 years later it's getting some wear on the top with little patches of the black sun-blocking material flaking off. Easy to set up, take down, store, and transport. The 4 person tent has the perfect amount of space for 2 adults with lots of gear, and the porch area works well for storing dirty shoes (as long as its not raining). =)

I did NOT know the back wall was all screen but it turned out ok. It did keep us cool and there was the ability for constant breeze. Pretty easy to set up and o like that the rain fly overhangs the windows so you can have them open when it rains and not get wet.

Easy to set-up with two people (even in the dark). Stayed comfortable, dark and warm inside the tent in 30-40 degree weather with the rain fly on. Note that we also used a reflective mat under the tent for extra warmth. Comfortably fit two single cots. However, there was very little room leftover and would not be able to accommodate a third cot or sleeping bag. We also kept our bags in the screened in porch to maximize walking space inside the tent. One con: You cannot store things in the screened in porch if the forecast calls for rain as the screened in porch is not covered by the rain fly. Very easy to take down and store in the carrying case, no tears in the screen or flooring. Overall, we’re happy with the tent and are excited to try in next in the summer.

Everything was great about this tent's high quality. My only suggestion is if they could make a 6 person instant or easy up that's with the dark room/cooler tent style. Putting the poles together is a pain. I also liked the little awing part in the front of the tent in case you have a little stove or want to store chairs and shoes. There is also just enough room to standup in to help you get dressed. It's rained a few times and been extremely cold while I have used this, it's not made for keeping the cold out really but water hasn't been a problem. This has also held up against leave it up for more then a week or so then other tents, less uv fading and able to repeatedly use it longer. The best feature I'd say is that seems be a bit more weather resistant then more other tents and that the insides stay slightly cooler then other tents in the sun. Down side is that it isn't a instant up.

This is my first tent and at first I was super impressed but I think that was simply the excitement from being able to set it up myself (which I was nervous about!) and the novelty of the screened in porch. There is a video on youtube that shows you how to set this up easily and it helped immensely! But this tent is not dark at all and since we closed all the window flaps to block out the sun, it was also hot. The netting on the porch bunched up after the first use also, probably because it got wet from the rain. Last time we took it camping, it downpoured for 8 hours and when we woke, all our things around the edges of the tent were soaked. The rainfly was up, but it seemed like water seeped in near the corners of the floor. This is the only tent I've ever had- I think it's very attractive, easy to set up and I love the porch and storage pockets inside, but I'm not sure I would recommend it for this price. It isn't dark, cool, or dry and I suspect the netting on the porch will be tearing soon. It's really nice to hang out in when the weather is good- leaving all the window flaps down and soaking up the breeze is the best, especially since the back panel is open from the top to the middle section and it allows you to see up into the trees.
