Coleman Camping 3 Person Flatiron Instant Dome Tent

Love this tent! It’s very easy to put up and fold up. It can easily accommodate queen size air mattress. It has plenty of headroom. No issues with the zippers so far unlike some of other reviews pointed out.

The good: the only redeeming feature of this tent is that it is easy to put up and take down. The tent did assemble and fold down in about two minutes.The bad: the tent is not waterproof. The first night we had a light rain. After a few minutes, I started to feel a mist and smaller drips. Luckily, the rain was not long lasting that night. During the day, we looked at the other tents in the camp and remarked on how the tent does not have a rain fly. On the second night, a good storm came through. After about an hour of mist and small drips, I started to get significant rain in the tent. It was a miserable night. When I woke up in the morning, I had to wring out my sleeping bag.Two other downfalls include the lifting mechanism. The diagonal corners with the longer mechanisms do not lock in place well and were a touch tough to retract as well. The lack of fly also has negative effects of water pouring into the tent when the door is opened.Overall, I am not satisfied with this product. If you are camping during a drought, this tent may be okay. If you have any chance of rain, look for a different tent or put a tarp or canopy above it, as it will not block the rain on it’s own.

I was excited to get this tent because I have another Coleman tent that is not the "Instant Dome" type, and this one claimed such ease of use. It is EXTRMELY easy to set up and take down - really is under 2 minutes. Good job, Coleman!That said, having used it twice now, the two downsides I have found are:1. It has only two small windows that are covered from rain (it has 4 total, but only 2 that can be open if it is raining without water coming in to the tent). The effect of this is MEGA condensation, to the point of puddles, IN the tent if it is colder outside than your body temperature. (Think of a sweaty soda can in plastic bag... the water stays in the bag). On our last trip, it rained all 3 days/nights, and we certainly experienced the puddles inside - and no, it wasn't leaking or coming from the outside.2 - The style of the tent / placement of the door of the tent is not under an awning or vestibule. This is fine when it isn't raining, but if it is raining, water will get in the tent when you open the door, either from running down the top/sides of the tent into the door, or from direct rainfall itself.The tent is water proof, but I will be looking into buying a separate rain fly that will give us a dry "vestibule" or "awning" for next time. I hope Coleman adds a few more collapsible poles over the windows and doors to remedy these issues.Still 4 stars though for the amazing design!

Packs small, easy to assemble, great price!

It's definitely a one person tent. The low height and sharp angles would make it very difficult for more than one. The tent feels smaller than the two person domes the troop uses. The tent does setup as easy as documented. I bought it to camp with my sons Boy Scout troop and I had the first tent up. The tent did fine with pouring rain. I had one seam near the bottom that leaked a little but I had a sag there and once I removed tent stayed very dry. The one HUGE problem with rain is the door. There is no protection getting in or out and you can be guaranteed to bring water into the tent if its raining. The door is on a sharp angle and a giant negative. It has good ventilation.

Only an idiot would make a tent with poles attached! I only used about 4 times. Early morning in both heavy rain and darkness I wadded up tent to leave camp. Due to attached poles I found next time part of poles broken! Poles should always be carefully pulled out and tent can be wadded up. Do not buy this crap! I got this free as a reward and it was exactly worth what it cost me.

The locks that secure the poles need to be sturdier/reliable. I used and sent back after 1 use, because the locks on one side of tent would not properly work. Loved the tent, other than that

easy to set it up, but not so easy to fold it in....
