(More customer reviews)We bought this tent based on reviews and were not disappointed. We used it for our family of 4, our dog, and a lot of extra gear that we didn't even need. There is a lot of extra room in this tent, and I'd say it can sleep 6 very comfortably, and 8 if you don't have any gear in the tent with you. There is the potential for 2 "rooms" in the tent via a partition that clips in place in the middle of the tent, with a zipper down the center. We didn't use the partition, as our children are young and wouldn't stay on their side anyway. There is a neat little zipper in the rear of the tent for an electrical cord access, which we did use from our campsite.
There was plenty of headroom, and I could easily stand up in the tent and walk from end to end without ducking, and I'm 5' 10". With all the windows open, there is a LOT of airflow, and ventilation was not a problem during the day when it was hot. The only thing we experienced that we didn't expect was that night the temp dropped into the 30's, and with only 4 people in the tent and so many cubic feet of airspace, it got pretty chilly in there, even with all the windows up. (Keep in mind that we didn't pack for cold weather.)
Setup was a snap, and directions are printed on a sheet sewn into the inside of the bag so you won't lose it. I set up the tent to inspect it after I received it, and it took about 30 minutes with me really taking my time. Second attempt on the campsite, the directions were unnecessary as the setup was simple, and it took only 15 minutes with help only for draping the rainfly over the large tent.
In short, I would recommend this family tent without reservation, and look forward to having many camping trips with family and friends in it.

Coleman WeatherMaster 8 TentFrom the electrical access port to the vented Cool-Air port, the Coleman WeatherMaster 8 tent is packed with features for comfort and convenience at the campsite. The WeatherMaster 8 is outfitted with Coleman's exclusive WeatherTec system, a series of technical features intended to protect you from inclement weather and nasty storms. WeatherTec tents are built with a coated polyester fabric combined with anti-wicking thread, webbing, and zippers, all designed to keep you dry when the rain comes down. The tent's welded waterproof floor and inverted floor seams, meanwhile, dramatically increase the water resistance by hiding the needle holes inside the tent and away from the elements. And in addition to offering fully taped rainfly seams, the included rainfly covers the doors and windows tightly and incorporates easy-to-use Velcro frame attachments. Add in a strong, wind-responsive frame--which uses redesigned poles and guy-out triangles to anchor the tent--and you have a shelter that performs like a brick house during a storm. In fact, Coleman is so confident in its WeatherTec system that it exposes its WeatherTec tents to a rain room that simulates nasty downpours, and to a wind machine capable of blowing hurricane-force gusts. The results? Even after the tests, Coleman guarantees its WeatherTec tents will keep you dry.
The WeatherMaster 8 boasts a footprint of 14 by 9 feet and a center height of 82 inches, helping up to eight people sleep comfortably in the tent with elbowroom to spare. Campers have their choice of sleeping in one large room or dropping down the zippered divider and sleeping in two. As an alternative, they can use one room as a bedroom and the second for gear and food storage. Campers will also love the Coleman Variflo adjustable ventilation system, which lets you control the airflow in conjunction with the vented Cool-Air port. Other features include an easy-to-set-up design with continuous color-coded pole sleeves and shock-corded poles; reverse angle windows; a privacy vent window; an interior gear pocket; an electrical access port; and easy-to-follow instructions sewn into the durable carrying bag, which comes with extra storage bags for the poles and stakes.

About Coleman More than 100 years ago, a young man with an entrepreneurial spirit and a better idea began manufacturing lanterns in Wichita, Kansas. His name was W.C. Coleman, and the company he founded would change life in America. A man plagued with such poor vision he sometimes had to ask classmates to read aloud to him, Coleman saw a brilliant light in 1900 in a drugstore window that stopped him in his tracks. He inquired about the light inside and discovered he was able to read even the small print on a medicine bottle by the illumination. The lamps had mantles, not wicks, and were fueled by gasoline under pressure instead of coal oil. Soon afterward, Coleman started a lighting service that offered a "no light, no pay" clause--a big step forward for merchants who were burned by inferior products that rarely worked--and drew substantial interest from businesses that wanted to keep their lights on after dark.
In the ensuing years, Coleman expanded its product line well beyond lanterns. The company's current catalog is thick with products that make spending time outdoors a pleasure. There are coolers that keep food and drinks cold for days on end, comfortable airbeds that won't deflate during the night, a complete line of LED lights that last for years, powerful portable grills that cook with an authentic open-grill flame, and much, much more. Coleman has truly fashioned much of our outdoor camping experience, and expects to do so for generations to come.
