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 air mattress, all the gear and room for a setting area -Very heavy duty floor -Color helps keep out heat from the sun Not so good: -5M size is too heavy to pack more than a very short distance -Quality Control may not be top notch, there are a few piles of excess stitching in a few places -The door is somewhat short for a 10ft. tall tent. -Cannot be set up on hard surfaces where you can't drive in the stakes Overall: I would recommend this tent to anyone looking for a long lasting durable alternatithe cheap, cheap, dome, nylon tents that love to leak.

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 you Had 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 possible Overall, 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.

We bought this tent to use for our wedding weekend and it was perfect for that use and stylish. We used it for two seasons before it became too damaged from water and mold growth to continue to use. It was still a good value for our purchase if I’m being realistic, we used it 4 times and if we had stored it more dry last summer we may have gotten one more season out of it. Weird location for the stove hole, not sure it is actually usable.

The tent is super durable. There was a metal stake missing. But all the parts held up. I rained lightly and the tent got wet inside. However, this was on the description. But a few days later it was a super hard rain and the tent was dry. I purchased the 6m. There was 6 twin beds,1 queen, a half pallet that we used a kerosene heater for that kept the tent super warm and a large rug. We would have still had enough room to add small nightstands on each side of the queen if needed. The setup was easy this size I would recommend more than one person. However, I had a 10 year old Male and 12 year old female help and it went up super quick. Hopefully the take down will be as smooth.

We have purchased 5 of these tents.. and are very unhappy with the longevity or lack of. We purchased two more in October which was 3-4 months ago and this is what they look like. Filled with mold, mildew and we have tried everything under the sun to keep them protected and have them last longer. Honestly want a refund for at least the two newest tents we have purchased because they do not hold up to what the expectations of the descriptions are for these yurt tents. As someone who has invested a lot into them and giving them chance after chance it’s simply not worth it.
