This tent is huge! We bought it for our family of 5 and had plenty of room. We didn't use the extra room as a screened in patio but left it open as one big room for the kids and it worked out great. We also had a pack n play in our room and didnt feel like we where squished inside the tent, We had plenty of room.
My husband was able to set this tent up in the dark by himself.
We love it and had not problems with it.

We LOVED the tent until the third time we set it up it ripped in the same place as yours. All other aspects were awesome. The screened porch could double as a provate room (unlike many other tents) because it had windows that could be closed. The zippered doors between the porch and the room in the back provided complete privacy. The doors to the otuside in each of the rooms were convenient so you didn't have to step on or over everyone else to get out of the tent. The screened windows were large so you had great views while laying in the tent. It didn't leak in a moderate rain. It was sad to have to take it back to Sams, because there are no similar tents for the anywhwere near the price.

While the room is great, the divider was skimpy between the rooms. But the big downfall was when we got rain, some of the seams leaked that resulted in water puddles on the floor. I was dissappointed since it was brand new. I don't feel you should have to seam seal and waterproof a new tent, though while on vacation, I had to purchase and apply the stuff. Hopefully, it won't happen again, but we didn't have any rain after the incident. Also, the rain flys did not have an adequate overhang to deflect the rain from the doorways.

Short version of the story:
Bought this tent and whent home to set it up for seam-sealling. 70% set up and RRRIIIPPPP The tab in the back of the tent where three fiberglass poles meet rips and there is a gaping hole in the wall/flooor. Disasseble the tent, back to Sams Club. Get another tent, take it home, RIIIPPPP!!! Same tab, same stage of asssembly. Back to Sams Club. Get a third tent, this time I have a witness READ the directions while we assemble th tent. RRRIIIIIPPPP!!! At place in assembly, tab rips and I am done.
Three Wenger tents ripped in exactly the same place at precisely the same time in assembly. IN ONE DAY!!! Design is good. Construction is the worst I've seen in 40 years of camping. I could NEVER recommend a Wenger tent to anyone, nor will I.

This is a HUGE tent. Very spacious inside with what is really one large room and one smaller room. It comes with a cloth room divider which is a bit hard to figure out how to attach in the large room to separate it into two smaller (but still roomy) rooms and when it is attached it doesn't do a good job of creating separate rooms. Much space is left under and around the divider so we don't even use it. But, that's not a negative towards this tent.
SetUp:
1.) Take your time and read the directions on the nylon sack and follow them carefully, step by step. The tent is not hard to set up and can be done by one person but is best if there are two people to set it up.
2.) Make sure the inside sewn-in door is unzipped so that when the tent is flat and ready to be raised a person can enter easily to the center of the tent to lift it while the other person secures the poles on the outside.
3.) Make sure that the rain fly is put on right-side up. If a big wind/rain comes then having it properly secured is essential.
4.) Don't take any short cuts and do everything the directions say to do.
5.) When taking the tent down take your time and fold it up carefully. I lay the tent out flat with the 3 rooms extended. Then I take each room and fold it in towards the center. Then I fold the tent again. You want it narrow enough so that when you roll it up it will fit easily back into the sack. It's easy to do but it takes a few times to get the hang of it. And the poles are very easy to extend and then fold up. I love how everything is so compact and goes back into the sack. The poles and tent sleeves are color-coded so it's very easy to know where each pole goes including their clamps. When we first got this tent we set it up in our back yard several times just for practice. It gets much easier the more often you set it up but if you can practice in advance of a camping trip that's good. And you would want to see if there is anything wrong with it prior to using it for real.
We went on a week-long camping trip last week and this tent was wonderful. The screen windows are great for air circulation and to be able to see outside. It has screens on all sides but you can zip them up at night for privacy. If you leave the rain fly off the roof of the tent is screen netting. We didn't do that but it would be great to lie there and watch the stars at night. I am 5'10" tall and could easily stand up and walk around inside the tent. It is so very spacious on the inside that four or more queen-sized air mattresses could easily be used with room to walk around. This tent really felt like home.
We did not get to test it in a rain storm. It did rain briefly but not long enough to see if the tent would leak. The directions say to use a "seam sealer" which we have not done yet, but will before our next camping trip.
**Note**
If you plan to use this tent in a campground be aware that most pre-made tent pads will not be large enough for this tent. We had to look for a tent pad that was very low to the ground so that the tent floor would be as flat as we could get it. Also, be sure to lay a tarp(s) underneath the tent floor. We had to use three 8'x10' tarps, one for each room.
So far, we love this tent and and the only problems we have had is the velcro closure on the front door sometimes catches the screen netting and has messed it up a bit, and one of the metal ring pins broke but Swiss Gear immediately sent several more for free upon request. The tent fabric is lightweight but seems very durable.
