Coleman 6-Person Cabin Tent with Instant Setup in 60 Seconds

I set this tent up in conditions that ranged from misty to steady rain that lasted 12 hours. As soon as I set it up, I noticed that the rain was coming directly through the walls. I put the fly (sold separately) on and that helped stop rain from coming through the top, but the wall leaks persisted.We had four of the EXACT same Coleman 6-person instant tents set up and mine was the only one that leaked. I assume the factory missed the waterproofing step.MAKE SURE YOU TEST THE TENT BEFORE YOU DRIVE FIVE HOURS FROM HOME TO USE IT.

Tent seems durable and was set up in seconds. I set the tent up in the back yard to make sure everything worked, it started to rain and almost instantly I noticed the seams of the tent were leaking water. I’m am really disappointed as this tent is supposedly rated high for being water proof. The more frustrating part was I had to speak to 4 different Amazon representatives to coordinate an exchange, they were finally able to accommodate me and get a new tent sent. We will see in a few days if the new tent is also defective. Coleman is usually a quality brand and this product had really high rating but I am very disappointed thus far.

Huge and ridiculous -- obviously not for backpacking -- but my husband and I love it. We throw a queen air mattress in here when car camping and we feel like Kings. It's so easy to set up and take down; set-up is doable with just one person (possibly of a certain height, we are 5'8"+), take down is easiest with two to help stuff it back in the carrying case.We had it set up in the midwest when a tornado-y thunderstorm rolled through; we sought higher ground till it passed, when we returned, she was safe and sound and still in the ground. Not completely waterproof, but we only got a bit of dew/sweat on the interior walls, and nothing on the floor.The only "con" I have to note: I wish there were windows on all sides, so when you are inside you can enjoy the view from all angles.

It's comfortable for a full size plus a twin sized air mattress. It sets up and takes down very easily - sets up in less than two minutes with one person, and less than five minutes to get it stuffed into the carrying bag. It fits in my subcompact car. It stayed dry through 5 straight hours of heavy rain. Too heavy to hike any real distance with, but excellent for car camping with kids.

I have a standard 4 person Coleman dome tent. I purchased this tent because I take many camping trips alone and my other tent can be a bit of a pain to put up by myself. Had it out this last weekend to give it a try. As advertised it was very quick to set up. Took a little more then 60 seconds just because I had never set it up before. Being a cabin style tent it does have good stand room in the center. I stand 6' 1". There are some thing s about this tent I will have to get use to. The door, unlike my other tent, is not centered. It is off to the right. My wife went with me and this caused a little stumbling over each other trying to get out. The door has two zippers which were a little difficult to get open in the dark, early in the morning. IT has two windows up front, two large windows on the sides but, no window in the back. With only one little vent in the top ventilation was questionable. The window flaps could be rolled but they could not be tie and secured out of the way. Over all a nice tent.Took it for the first time on my own. Again was easy to set up. This trip it did rain. Rain fly is useless. Unless you have the windows zipped all the way up, you are going to get wet. Then windows up, no ventilation. Got hot inside real fast. Door is a real pain at night in the dark to get in and out of. Don't be in a hurry.

Disappointing. I've been an avid supporter of Coleman products for many years due to the affordability and quality of their products. I've owned a 4-person dome tent for nearly 15 years that has never leaked, never blown over, never given me trouble. Me and my wife just got a little older and decided we needed something we could stand up in and use a cot in. So we bought this. The design engineer missed the boat on this and so did quality control. I've tried different methods to try to get the tent to be taut and tight on all four slopes, but I just can't do it. It needs at least one more connection to the corner support poles on each corner because it bags and sags three quarters of the way up the corner. This causes a sag on the interior that reduces space and helps worsen the leaking. It has a loop for a stake midway between the corners in the front and back but not on the sides. It needs one because you can't keep the floor taut without them.Leaking, Leaking and more leaking. Amazing that this didn't come with a rain fly. No, not amazing, ridiculous. Where didn't it leak? This was not a hurricane - just some simple showers. It leaked at every corner floor joint. Every window leaked even when zippered completely shut. The door leaked. Who designed the door zipper? Fire that person. The zipper on my dome tent is perfect - why did someone think that needed to be changed? The windows all leaked along the bottom seam. Why? Because the side slopes can't be made taut, it rains down, water runs down the sides and collects at the bottom of the window. It has no place to go but in the tent - it's as if someone designed it that way!! The only way to prevent that leakage is to install a second shelter - or tarp - over the tent with sides, back and front that extend beyond the bottom of the window. I looked at the rain fly you can buy for this tent, and I don't think it does that. The leaking seam at the corners and where the floor connects just seems to be poor quality workmanship. I gave it a second and third coat of seam sealer and it did reduce the amount of leaking, but didn't eliminate it. I brought the tent home, set it up and let it dry out real good, then gave it a fourth really heavy dose of seam sealer at all seams. We'll see if that helps. I also designed my own rain tarp out of an old shelter frame I had that I will put over the tent next time. That's ridiculous to have to put up a shelter to put my tent under. Ridiculous. Why am I even giving this a three???? I guess because I can stand up in it, it goes up quickly, and it fits my queen-size cot with room to spare.Update:I've decided to get a new tent. Not a Coleman. The engineering and quality of this tent was just horrible. I've coated the tent inside and out with at least 4 applications of silicone spray and several coats of seam sealer on all seams. I even caulked the floor to wall seam with clear silicone caulk. I noticed in the pictures that there are 5 pole to tent clips on each corner. Mine only had 4, so I added tarp clips on the corners where it was sagging. The walls sagged so I added tarp clips on the sides to tighten the walls and floor. See pictures. I bought the rain fly. It rained tonight and the interior is soaked. Water leaked right through the walls and especially at the base of the windows. I'm leaving next Sunday for a week camping in the UP of Michigan. I hope my new tent gets here in time. Really, I recommend you do not by this tent!

So I used it once and it was light rain for about an hour that night. Next day woke up with water all on the ground sheet and side walls. I am not sure if it was from my breath (condensation) or a leak, the design of the tent may make condensation a problem, I just know the ground sheet and walls were soaked. I'll give it 3 stars because if it is the design that caused it then it's a bad design IMOUpdate: ok went camping and it rained for 2 hours and walls of tent were soaked and water was dripping from centre of roof. So really bad fail and a complete waste of money. Do not buy!

very confortable tent to sleep

excellent quality, as always with coleman

Aun no la armo, espero funcione bien. Al recibir el producto me enteré que sólo cabe un colchón inflable tamaño queen. Eso se indica en el empaque, pero esa información no la encontré al comprar el producto. Yo esperaba que cupieran dos. Tuve que comprar inflables especiales para campamento. Ya la armé y está muy padre. Yo soy cero experta y sí la pude armar y desarmar en un minuto. Tiene buen espacio y si cupimos muy bien los 4 integrantes de mi familia.

La usé hace poco para ir a acampar, llovió un poco y a todos los demás les entró el agua, excepto a nosotros.Eso sí, igual compré aparte un accesorio extra especial para las lluvias, pero por debajo ni por los mosquiteros se filtró el agua.Eramos 4 personas y muy probablemente terminemos vendiendo esta y comprando una para 6 personas, porque entre las maletas, cosas de comida, un colchón inflable y nosotros... apenas cupimos.
