L**N
Doesn't hold air, feels like a disposable kid's toy, skylights are a JOKE.
Clearly the team who designed this tent has never been camping in their lives. First off - the windows at the front and back only zip open/closed on the OUTSIDE. So, wake up in the middle of the night b/c its raining? You have to go outside to close your window. Secondly, the skylight windows are even worse. They don't zip. They are attached with merely 3 velcro squares per side, which don't align properly. On one side of my tent the misalignment causes a channel where water runs straight into the tent. On the other side the misalignment precludes attaching the flap one one side altogether, so it just blows open in the wind and rain. See video and photos for nice big puddle on my cot, under the skylight.Let's talk about the inflatable structure. I didn't think that the inflatable structure offered any benefit to the setup speed. I can set up a normal tent in 15 minutes, and it took about as long for this one, if you don't include the extra 10 minutes it took to search through the packaging trash for the instructions that in fact were not included. But the inflatable structure does add about 30 pounds. To be fair, it's likely that those 30 extra pounds make the tent feel more solid and substantial when you are inside of it, which is a good thing (if you could find a way to keep from being rained on in your sleep.) So if the tent actually STAYED inflated, I might be inclined to overlook the 30 pounds, and do a hack on the rain flap myself.But alas, it does not stay inflated long enough to remain standing for more than 36 hours in dry weather. And when it rains, you're down to 24 hours or less, depending on how much rain. The weight of the rain appears to increase the airflow out of the structure. And the cheaply designed "porch covering" was engineered to be the perfect rainwater receptacle. It is designed so that there is literally no way to install it that prevents it accumulating water. Even if you make one pole shorter than the other so that the shade is at an angle, there is still a pouch that collects water. After one heavy rainstorm here, the weight of that water pulled the rest of the tent down.The description says something about "steel reinforced" vinyl or something like that. I now understand that the description must be solely referring to the inflatable skeleton of the tent, which indeed seems very thick and to be near "unpuncturable." But the fabric on the tent itself is incredibly thin. A flying stick would puncture it in a heartbeat. And its such low quality that at 3 weeks, the entire tent has faded around where the skylight flap overlaps the window. Note: 11 days of those 3 weeks it rained and was not sunny.Other fun features included the fact that I purchased 2 tents, and the pumps included with both tents had broken pressure gages. Not that this mattered, because neither tent came with any sort of instructions as to what PSI to inflate the tent to in the first place.The other tent I purchased at the same time was already returned b/c that one didn't hold air for a single day. I'd pump it up around noontime, and by morning it would be collapsed.I really wanted this tent to work because it looked so cute. If you can afford a $600 disposable kids toy, this is the tent for you!
