I bought this tent last year, hoping to use it as a camping tent and observation blind. However once it was set up, I realised that the sewing job is really bad. Many seam is not well sew and goes out of the line.
All the seam are also not sealed and it will certainly leak during rain. If you want to seal up like what I am doing, the job will take you half a day and 3.5oz of seam sealer. There are 3 poles that come along, but all are not well glued, some joints came loosen and you need to stick them back or risk losing it. The poles measured to be 27.25" when folded and that will be the length for your packed size.
The tent will be nice for 2 persons with enough space for a dog or backpack. however if you want to sleep 3 persons, you will need to squeezed like a sandwich without any room for your gears.
There is only one mesh window and a mesh ceiling. The ventilation is fine without the fly and window upzipped, but if everything is closed up, proper ventilation will be impossible during summer.
Overall this single wall tent is still good enough as as a observation blind or leisure camping tent with minor improvisation. The tent materials are the same as those economy tents sold in walmart, but Im impressed with the camouflage pattern which is an excellence design to blend into a woods environment.
However if you need a good tent for more serious outdoor trekking trip, stay away from this and look for something better.

I guess you really do get what you pay for.I bought this tent last year for around $45 to go camping for a week in the woods.The tent came with very cheap,flimsy shepherd crook stakes that aren't very effective,and the aluminum poles had a small plastic knob on the end to slip into a grommet on the tent.These knobs broke as soon as it was out of the box.I wound up just using two sticks,whittled down to fit the grommets.This would have been sufficient with better stakes.Also the tent was very cramped with just me and my pack.I suggest only using this as a solo tent.With decent tent stakes and better poles,it would be an affordable one man tent.
