Dream House Outdoor Waterproof Cotton Canvas Family Camping Bell Tent

Was ready to Bonnaroo this year (2021) and it got cancelled 36 hours beforehand, so that was awesome. Was gonna use this tent for that, tested it out and everything. And it really sucks because this tent is like the tavern Will and Jada created Jaden in, it's that magical. The setup is actually one person-ed, and once you figure it out the 1st time it's actually kinda exciting. Quite spacious, and left it outside in Florida weather with the same rain from the same hurricane that cancelled Bonnaroo, and it held up the next day or two til we took it down. COMPLETELY RAIN-PROOF, and at least tropical-depression windproof. But still Bonnaroo-less... :(

I must start off with I wanted to buy the Playdo brand tent but it wouldn't be in stock before our next camping trip so I "settled" for this one in the 5M size. The tent came in a bag that was oversized so that when folded up later it would still fit in the bag (nice attention to detail). Instructions were simple to follow and the tent was extremely easy to set up even for one person. I set the tent up in the yard at home to test out and season the canvas. After leaving the tent up about a week through several days of rain and thunderstorms with winds up to approximately 30mph, the inside was 100% dry. This past weekend my wife and I took the tent on a three night camping trip here in Kentucky and loved it. A little night rain didn't phase this baby at all. Good: -Waterproof is excellent -Plenty of space for queen air mattress, all the gear and room for a setting area -Very heavy duty floor -Color helps keep out heat from the sun Not so good: -5M size is too heavy to pack more than a very short distance -Quality Control may not be top notch, there are a few piles of excess stitching in a few places -The door is somewhat short for a 10ft. tall tent. -Cannot be set up on hard surfaces where you can't drive in the stakes Overall: I would recommend this tent to anyone looking for a long lasting durable alternatithe cheap, cheap, dome, nylon tents that love to leak.

Pros: 1. Sturdy center pole. Holds up during heavy rainstorms. Difficult to knock over, even if you want to. It's not sturdy enough to be a stripper pole, but it's definitely sturdy enough to support the tent. 2. Lots of sunlight gets let through. Easy to see inside the tent during the day while staying protected from the sun. 3. Looks great from the outside! Very fun to show off. 4. Lots of compartment holes on the sides of the tent for ACs or other accessories. Also good for a way to bring in an electrical cable or a light rope or solar panel cable. Cons: 1. Very lengthy assembly and disassembly. First time assembly takes ~40 minutes and is labor intensive because of the stakes and ropes. I imagine this time gets reduces for future assembly if you leave the ropes tied on, but it's still a bit of work. Side note, it's suggested you should let the tent get rained on once to let it seal or something like that, but I honestly think it's usable without that step. Water will seep into the inside of the walls and roof only a tiny bit, nothing to be concerned about. 2. The entrance is very low, so tall people beware. I found it a bit difficult not to hit my head on the ropes when entering and exiting the tent. 3. Ropes to tie it down and stretch it out take up a ton of space and give a lot of walking hazards. It would be nice if the tent had less external supports and more internal supports. This would potentially reduce hazards and setup time.

Use it every summer. Keep it up until winter setts in. Completely water proof! I tried a few other brands before this one and the other brands were not water proof Love how durable it is . Very strong zippers . I’m amazed at how affordable it is. I can fit my Cali king bed frame nicely. The pole will be a few inches from side of the bed. There is room for a table at the foot of bed for tv. The bed is about 3-4 feet from door . Spacious

We have purchased 5 of these tents.. and are very unhappy with the longevity or lack of. We purchased two more in October which was 3-4 months ago and this is what they look like. Filled with mold, mildew and we have tried everything under the sun to keep them protected and have them last longer. Honestly want a refund for at least the two newest tents we have purchased because they do not hold up to what the expectations of the descriptions are for these yurt tents. As someone who has invested a lot into them and giving them chance after chance it’s simply not worth it.

Bought it for our anual camping trips and couldn't be happier. It survived rain, wind and kids. Very comfortable to use and I love that the bottom is detachable so I could clean it separately from the rest of the tent. Used it for my daughter's birthday party sleepover and everyone loved how glampy it is, so I started to have requests from my friends to borrow it.

The tent is super durable. There was a metal stake missing. But all the parts held up. I rained lightly and the tent got wet inside. However, this was on the description. But a few days later it was a super hard rain and the tent was dry. I purchased the 6m. There was 6 twin beds,1 queen, a half pallet that we used a kerosene heater for that kept the tent super warm and a large rug. We would have still had enough room to add small nightstands on each side of the queen if needed. The setup was easy this size I would recommend more than one person. However, I had a 10 year old Male and 12 year old female help and it went up super quick. Hopefully the take down will be as smooth.

Pros! In spite of being lightweight canvas than expected, it is water proofed or at least pretty water resistant. Because the canvas is a little lighter than expected, it is actually not stupidly heavy (around 70lbs or so in the bag) Based on price, I had expected it to be smaller because I'm a fool who doesn't read product specs good sometimes. Cons: The tent stakes it comes with are meh. Highly recommend stakes you can put in and take out with a wireless drill or some other kind of power tool if available to you Had to figure out how to tie the tie downs onto the tent. This could have been problematic if conditions were any worse on my last trip. The canvas doesn't trap as much heat or cold as some competing models (like the white duck tents) because of it's colour and density but it is still miles better than the more common brightly coloured tents. Things I didn't try with the tent yet: Removing the floor for any reason. It is clearly possible Overall, super impressed and pleased with this tent! It held up to decent wind (I will need to fix my tie downs before I trust it in a wind storm but around 30 to 40 mph gusts didn't do it much harm) and to a freak rain storm.
