Review on DEERFAMY 3-4 Person Easy Camping Tent: Waterproof, Windproof, Double Layer, Removable, Automatic Setup - Quick Instant Tent for Outdoor Backyard, Perfect for Adults and Novice Campers by Mark Turner

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good tent but there is one problem.

Overall this is a good tent. We like tents with such a simple articulated pole frame; Instant tents with an umbrella frame and tire seem too bulky to transport and store, and are almost certainly impossible to repair if the special parts of the frame ever become damaged. My wife set up this tent while I was at work, maybe with a little help from our 8 year old daughter. It appears to be a fairly standard design, fairly roomy and with the typical headroom. The ventilation pattern seems great with lots of screens in the top half of the inner tent. The zippers were generally very smooth, but one complaint I have with this tent is that there is a horizontal seam in the wall about halfway up the door. at each end, which appears to be under more stress than the rest of the wall. Not enough to damage a wall or door directly, but enough to make it difficult to zip out of that area. It's just a section of the zipper that's a few inches long. I figured it would be best to pull the next corner of the tent inward to relieve the extra stress when the zip gets close to that tricky area. On the other hand, my wife said "so what" and forced the zipper through with brute force when I winced. Well, that's a minor flaw we can live with, other than that it's a great tent for my family.
