This review is from: Coleman Evanston 6 Tent (Sports)
I received the tent this week and knew I had to set it up before I took it camping. It barely fit on our deck, this thing is huge! I really like the open feeling it gives, very tall, ample room, and appears sturdy. Setup was done in the typical style of a dome tent. It had two fiber poles(much better than the old wood ones) that crossed each other, then a third hoop to lift up the front a little. This was very straight forward. I set it up by myself and it only took me about fifteen minutes, first time. I haven't tried the rain-fly yet.
Again, I really like the size, being able to stand in a tent is really nice.

What I didn't like was how the material felt a little thin. I actually tore a little 1/8th inch hole in the pole guide while barely pushing. This is not your grandpa's canvas tent! I just kept easing the pole through and working the fabric. I will also be getting a tarp for under the tent, as that is not as substantial as I would like it to be.

Other than that, I really like it. I did think it was the tent with the hinged door, but that was my mistake. Besides, I'm not so lazy that I can't unzip a door...maybe.

I am really looking forward to using this over the summer.
