I agree with Leecaddick's points. To add. Somewhat like a Qasar but bigger and with the advantage of 7 cross-over points for stability. Best to use all the guy points in exposed situations. Easily pitched single-handed and generous space for one or two people. The twin openings and large porch area are great bonuses. Photo uploaded.

An excellent tent, do not be put off by the relatively low price, this tent holds it's own against many a more expensive brand.
I have used this tent for 2 years now and can vouch for its waterproofing and stability.
It pitches very easily and is very well ventilated so condensation is not a real problem.
I would recommend a foot print, I made mine from damp proof membrane from a builders merchant, as the bedroom floor seems quite thin and although never leaks, may be prone to damage from sharp stones etc.
I am very happy with this tent and would recommend it highly.

A spacious inner tent sleeping 3, a large, fully integrated vestibule with 2 entrances, fast pitching and dismantling with Clip-On-System, and continuous pole sleeves, good ventilation – together with excellent stability due to the geodesic design and numerous guy points (even though it is also free standing, without pegs). UV-resistance PU window, reinforced, double welded inner tent suspension and good venting facilities.
