We've had this tent for 2 or 3 years now and it's been excellent for ocassional summer camping trips - Devon, Dorset, Cotswolds. It's quick to put up (once you've done it a couple fo times) and easy to transport in the back of our estate. Also well designed, with sown in ground sheet (no bugs get in and you can sweep out) and individual bedroom pods, and a good size central room into which one of those standard tables easily fits. It survived a gale on the Dorset cliff tops - pegs started to pop out, leaving flapping panels and lots of noise but nothing as serious the 'one star' review describes! No rain got in and the structure stood firm. No signs of wear and tear yet. Generally a sturdy, well designed, easy to put up tent (which is important to us going on very short breaks).
