Coleman 9' X 7' Sundome 4 Person Tent, 9260f907

Pros: Inexpensive, easy to set up, gets the job done
Cons: Not fully self standing, probably dicey in bad weather (rain, wind)

With two young daughters at my side, I curiously walked down one of the "outdoor living" aisles at Costco. You never know what you might find (and get impulsed into buying). I starred at the set up tent hanging above (which seemingly screamed back). ...

Pros: Inexpensive, Easy to Assemble, Easy to Clean
Cons: None so far.

Many years ago in a far off land.... Have you ever arrived at your campsite after dark, after a few too many beers (him not me), and tried to put together one of those tents that require nothing short of an engineering degree to assemble? Well we...

Pros: Simple set up Ample space
Cons: Rainfly should extend farther out from tent Condensation Could be more stable

I have had this tent for 5-6 years now and have definitely put it through some serious conditions. ...

Pros: None to report
Cons: Poor quality, poor customer service.

I purchased a Coleman Sundome to use for Boy Scout camping. I liked the price and assumed that Coleman would produce a tent of reasonable quality. Assumptions are silly and lead to frustration. The Sundome I purchased leaked an unbelievable amount of water, soaking everything on the floor. As this incident took place at a week long summer camp, I had quite a few supplies with me. I actually had pants ruined because the bag I used for storing the pants got so wet it transferred black dye to the tan pants. Most frustrating, however, is the fact that I sent Coleman an e-mail through their customer service address and I have yet to here from them.

Needless to say, I returned the tent and am now the proud owner of a Columbia tent.
