Good tent if it fits the profile of what you want to use it for.
I have spent literally hundreds of nights in these tents at many wild fires and camping one time (I have owned one for about 10 years). I like the fact that it set's up quick, it is fairly light and compact for packing in my fire bags for travel to an incident (air flights) and is functional and does the job it was made do. The floor is approximately 6.5' X 6.5", so if you are a long person you might want another tent. I am about 6' and has worked for me.You don't have to stake it to set it up for a night (except for two stakes to set the rain fly), but it is important to stake it if you are going to leave it set-up at a fire or spike camp if there is the potential of wind. Otherwise when you return to camp it may not be where you left it.I just came back from a fire on the west coast and used the tent there. Unfortunately one of the tent pole broke at a connector/pivot point in high wind. I used duck tape and a wooden splint to repair it to make it through. The key point I am making is you can go through the company to buy replacement parts such as my snapped pole. In closing, if you are driving to a fire (not flying and have t carry heavy fire bags) I would get the slightly bigger tent (and heavier tent) Catoma 60 second tent. If how I use the tent fits your situation, I would highly advise you to consider it.Last comments; as with any new tent I would apply seam sealer to the floor and wall seams and consider using a water repellency spray like "Nikwax Tent & Gear Solar Proof", which adds water-repellency and blocks UV rays.
