This is our second Khyam tent as we loved the quick-erect system.
Generally we are pleased with it due to its size (family of four) - if the weather is rainy there is plenty of room. We used it last summer when the floods happened and it was also quite windy. It witheld the rain excellently - it is highly rainproof - another reason why we bought it.
On the negative side we have had the inner cables (ropes) go twice on the main poles. You can fix these fairly easily and Khyam replaced the ropes with no hassle and no expense but I query if there is a weakness here. It can also be quite tricky to set up perfectly to ensure the zip closes on the front door again due to its size - this gets easier with practise.
The only other comment is that when we used it in some quite high winds (floods again!) you need to tether it very well - it held well but due to its size (and the strength of the winds) it bends a lot in strong winds. It is advisable to get some 'diamond' pegs if you are going anywhere where the ground is soft/rocky/sandy.
Generally we are happy with it - there are more luxurious models around but you will pay for them.

The quick erect system is a must I think - certainly saves on arguments! Welcome to Ciao! Fiona
