Great Tent, upgraded from a 3 man to this for more room(with 2-4 people) and its perfect.Can easily fit a queen and twin air matresses, (2 queens as stated will fit but its very tight).1 queen with bags/equip leaves still plenty of room(usually how i use it.)Outside screened porch is awesome. great design for you to relax outside but not get bug-bitten. Great place to keep any other outside belongings overnight also. Porch is same plastic bottom as the rest of the tent floor, with drainage for any water/rain. Rainfly doesnt cover all of the porch, but a good amount of it, over half. (screened area WILL get wet during hard rain/wind).Tent holds up in rain well, had 2 hours of torrential downpour first time i used it, and stayed 99% dry, (after 2 hours the inside of the rainfly at the top was slightly wet, and the wind-side seam had a few drops.) nothing seamsealer/waterproof spray wouldn't prevent. tub-floor stayed totally dry also. winds reached 20mph during the rain, (gusts even higher) and tent held up fine.One thing that people may not like is the backwall/window, which is screened from the top of the tent to half way down, with no zip-close flap. provides lots of circulation, but as another reviewer said, sometimes it isn't a good thing. I dont mind it, the rainfly covers the entire window completely and then some. The side windows are a good size screen, with zipper close flaps.May upload pictures/video of the tent for better perspective. If your upgrading from a smaller tent, and liked the porch, and the cost isn't too big of a concern, then i would hands down get this tent again. I think its well worth the money.

UPDATE! :DI used the tent for an actual overnight trip and am still very pleased. I set up my double sized air mattress and my friend and I slept comfortably and had plenty of room for our stuff. It rained that night, not too heavy, but the tent held up great and not a drop of rain in the sleeping area. The screened porch did get wet though so be careful what you leave out there if it rains. 3 of us will be staying in this tent for a trip to Lake George in August. I'm a little concerned how comfortable we will be when the temperature drops at night considering there is so much mesh in this tent, but we have our sleeping bags and I'm bring a king sized down comforter just in case.ORIGINAL REVIEW:I recently bought this tent but have yet to camp in it. I set it up in my backyard, by myself with no problems. I wanted to add some photos for others researching this item.This tent would be very comfortable for 2-3 people under the assumption that most people like a little wiggle room and space for your stuff. I would even say 4 max if using sleeping bags only. 6 is a stretch, as with all tents they size them based on people sleeping side by side in sleeping bags, I would feel too cramped with that many people in such a small space though.The screen room is really nice - can definitely fit a couple of chairs in it or a cooler with food and other messy gear that you don't want to bring into the sleeping area. I like how open the tent is, with all the windows and mesh so if you have a nice night, you don't need the rainfly and you can look up at the stars while not being so out in the open. Without the rainfly though privacy is an issue.If you don't see any future updates from me, assume there are no issues!!

It fit my wife, myself, and two kids good with extra room. The little patio is awesome. I like this tent very much except it didn't hold up against the wind. A rod snapped and ended our memorial weekend early... Only used it Friday night and after some high winds in the afternoon, we came back to campsite and our new tent was DONE!!! Good for me I bought the extended warranty from the sports store where I bought it from. I'm thinking, can I just upgrade, to a better quality tent. its bound to bust again..
