Coleman Instant Tent with 1-Minute Setup, 6-Person Tent with Pre-Attached Poles, Air Vent, & Carry Bag

Awesome pop up tent! Super easy to pop up and pack away! Great quality. It’s a little small, but fits two good.

We bought this tent to go camping with friends for 3 days. It was really easy to assemble. It took about 3 minutes. It is very well made. It is water proof. We did not have any leaks at all inside. I loved that I had plenty of room to stand up to get dressed and to have my queen size air mattress. It doesn't come with a top rain flap so you do have to purchase that separately. I didn't realize this till we got to the campground. It doesn't affect it being water proof it just allows you to keep the windows open if it's raining and rain won't get in. I would definitely purchase this tent again because of its ease of use and it's great construction.

We love this tent. We are a family of 5 with 3 kids, we all fit comfortably in it and have enough space to be able to walk around. The door is also easy for the kids to unzip which is a plus. The black out part of this is probably my favorite. It gives us a little peace of mind knowing that the kids can sleep however late they want and not be woken up by the light. It’s also very easy to assemble and to take apart as well. I’ve put it up and down by myself and it wasn’t difficult. It is heavy, but it’s nothing I can’t handle!

I needed a tent for a two-day camping trip. I watched a number of videos and read plenty of reviews. Unfortunately by the time I got around to purchasing one, the newer model did not come with a rain-flyer, or a little tarp outside to put your shoes on. I also found that the bottom of the tent did not seem as durable as the video review of the prior Coleman 4-person tent review.Setting up the tent is quite easily done. We had very good weather and it did not rain at all. Due to the thickness of the bottom of the tent not being as constructed as heavily we ended up purchasing a tarp to put underneath it. I also purchased a rain-flyer for $40 since it didn't come with one. So far we are up to over $200 for this setup.After returning up a few weeks later I set it up in the backyard to test out an inflatable air mattress. The air mattress I found was not comfortable at all, and since it was getting late I figured I would pack up the tent the next day. The next day I went to pack up the tent and full water puddles in the tent. At first I thought maybe the wind blew the rain-flyer off and the rain came in through the space between the (2) zippers on each of the side windows. However I then noticed that spot was covered. So I cleaned up the mess and put the tent through a lite shower setting on my hose with the water coming straight down.The fabric seemed to be very resilient to water, and it look as though the water was bouncing right off (kind of like a car with rain-x on it)...this made me feel pretty good. However, once I stopped the lite shower and looked inside, I found water seeping in on the seams on the bottom. I was very disappointed. I suspect I shouldn't have purchased a Coleman product. Some of the reviews indicated the same thing, but others indicated they had no issues. I thought the Coleman products were put through a quality test prior to being sold / shipped out. I am guessing not.So I started a warranty claim considering it was only a month and a day since the purchase of the tent. What I have read so far indicates the purchaser has to pay for shipping. I suspect by the end of this I would have invested more than $250 for a tent and separate rain-flyer. I opened the claim on the weekend (9/18/21) and have not heard anything from the manufacturer yet.Summary: Ease of setup -> Thumbs Up Water Resiliency -> Thumbs Up Water-Proof / Poor Craftsmanship -> Thumbs Down.I would not suggest this tent to anyone, unless they have a way of testing it prior to purchasing it.Update: I contacted Coleman as it was past the 30-day purchase time frame. Kimberly from customer support reached out to me via phone, and followed up with an email. They had offered to replace the 4-person pop-up tent with (2) other versions, however they were not pop up tents, wouldn't work with the $40 Coleman rain-flyer that was purchased and were less expensive models, in addition to not being as tall. I suggested an alternative 4-person pop-up tent, however it was out of stock with no known arrival date. Kimberly was going to offer the 6-person pop-up tent as an alternative, however it was out of stock as well. Kimberly then offered up the 8-person pop-up tent as a replacement. My initial thought was no as it was twice as heavy, twice as big, and some reviews indicated it leaked and required preferably two-people to setup. However, after speaking with a couple of friends and family we decided to accept the 8-person tent as a replacement. Once it arrived, my daughter and I set it up. It was certainly helpful to have the both of us doing it. It is quite large, and is over 6' at the center. It also has two-rooms. I tested the tent with the hose simulating a shower for a good five minutes, and not water came through the seams. The only time water came in was when I open the door and windows (naturally). My daughter loves it and is looking forward to using it next year with friends. I contacted Kimberly from Coleman to ask what to do with the 4-person pop-up tent. She indicated to either donate to charity or do whatever I want with it.Summary: Though the initial experience of realizing the 4-person pop-up tent was leaking, Coleman stood behind their product and provided great customer service. Thank you Kimberly for all your help.I moved this from a 1-star to a 4-star review thanks to Kimberly and Coleman standing behind their product.

UPDATE 6-person tent on the beach:I took the 6-person tent camping on the beach. Over-all it held up really well. I got it up in under two minutes. Then the wind kicked up. I would recommend that if the wind is over 10-15mph, don't go. I had to anchor all of the corners and use the tether lines with heavy duty tent stakes (I purchased separately) to keep it anchored to the ground. When trying to take it down, I recommend closing the door and leaving the windows half-way up just to release the inner air. I tried it first with the door and windows all of the way open and the tent kept blowing up like a balloon which kept causing the legs to reextend. It was nearly impossible to take down. I had to really struggle to try and get it to collapse. I never had this problem with my traditional tent where I could just remove the poles. With no wind, I would say it is perfect.UPDATE 6 - Person Tent:I replaced the 8-person tent I had to throw away with the 6-person version. OMG - SO MUCH EASIER!! I was able to get it up by myself in around 1 minute and take down - back in the bag within 2 minutes! I went through the whole process twice just to make sure! The tent fabric is thick and feels very durable. The floor is the thickest I have ever seen on a tent.... It's like a heavy duty tarp. So far I am really impressed! I changed my overall rating from 1 star for the 8-person to 5 stars for the 6-person! I will write another update after I take it to the beach in a couple of weeks and see how it holds up there.ORIGINAL PURCHASE 8 - Person tent:I have been camping for over 40 years. I selected this tent because it advertises as "instant-tent with 60-second easy assembly." So much better than the hassle of dealing with multiple poles... right?The 8-person tent has 6 legs; one in each corner and one on each side where there is no door. It was like trying to wrestle an angry octopus - seriously!! It requires a bare minimum of 2 people (and four people would be better) to set it up. You have to raise all of the poles at the same time or it will just keep collapsing in different directions. It took us over half an hour of struggling to get it up. I was exhausted and sweaty at the end.One of the poles bent the first time the tent was up (not sure how, it wasn't manhandled and no wind or anything) and it will no longer contract or expand. And the fabric was thin and saggy... as well as the floor. I don't think it would hold-up in the wind or rain at all.Taking it down was just as difficult as setting it up (or more so) because the poles kept collapsing every which way. You can't take them all down at the same time unless you have 6 people. So we had to figure out how to manually fold and realign the legs from the big tangled pile on the ground in order to get the tent to fold back up for transport.I bought this tent because it was supposed to be easy!! Maybe the 4 or 6-person tent that only has the 4 corner poles would be much easier to manage; but this 6-pole 8-person model is a nightmare! I threw it away. I could have tried to return it for the refund but with the bent pole that would no longer contract, I couldn't get it back in the box! UGH!!!!!!
