This has been a great tent.
It appears to be very good quality as we have used it on a few occasions in varying weather and it always performs well for us. Its very quick to put up with the colour coded poles although it is probably a two person job.
Good layout with generous living area in the middle. The rooms come down in a few seconds to create more room if the extra sleeping space is not required.
The other thing that we like about it is that it is the first tent that we have actually managed to get back into the bag that it came in (perhaps more a reflection on us than the other tents we have had)!

Just bought this tent, and although we've not actually camped in it, we have pitched in the garden and slept over night in it!
The fabric is excellent quality - seemed thicker than standard to me. The poles are good quality and the colour coding makes pitching it easy and intuitive. The air-flow system looks like it's well thought out and the fly screens on all the doors are going to be good. The baffles over the zips are very robust and good quality.
The flexibility inside with 4 opening doors and 3 removable bedrooms is great. It's nice and dark inside, which we think will be good for the children's bedtime and also early in the morning. However, there are plenty of options for opening 'curtains' to let in loads of light - very flexible.
We're really looking forward to using this tent for 3 weeks in France next year.
We've had only Outwell tents for years so were nervous about getting a different make, as we were always so happy with Outwell. However, this, we think, is going to be a great alternative.
Happy camping!
