Pros & Cons
Pros
If it's a windy day, i stake down the four corners of the tarp using the stakes that came with the tent. If it is windy, you definitely want to put the rain tarp on. Stand up the poles and attach the tent to them.
Was an easy, quick setup. Sturdy and super easy to set up. Holds the tent up and prevents it from collapsing in on itself.
Skydome tent is pretty roomy for our needs (2 adults and big dog) light weight (not backpacking lightweight, but lighter than average), roomy enough for 2 people and their kit. Camped 2 adults, 70lbs dog/crate and plenty of space to move about.
Door size makes it easy to move an air mattress in and out freely. My only complaint- the zipper for the door gets caught on the little zipper flap.
Cons
The walls of this tent are mesh, except for the bottom waterproof edge. This means that you have no privacy in your tent unless you have the rainfly on. The material is so cheap just packing it back up into the box in the soft grass out at least one m... Read More
Not enough material, stitching seems like it will break at some point. Has to tie pole to tent with a strap since the cheesiest little plastic piece broke. Was missing one of two grommets for rain-sill support pole.
Highlights
Quality
Very easy to set up, great engineering on this product!

They can be detached, but it's a real pain in the rear to do it and the clip it attaches with is not made to be removed and rei... Read More
We had constant downpours for a week straight and not a drip of rain inside.
Price
For the price, this is a great tent!
I wanted to get into the hobby cheap, but not so cheap as to ruin the experience.
This is worth the money and then some.
Since we were taking our new fur baby for the first time, i didn’t want to risk my expensive tents not knowing how she would do.
Packaging/appearance
As a camper who's never seen this before, it made everything more complicated, from setting up to tear down to packing.
Follow the instructions to pack the tent back up and it fits easily in its bag, which is so small you can barely believe it is ... Read More
Only 2pack mules so had to pack light!
Competitiveness
Comparing this tent to a tent i bought at walmart for around the same price, this tent is much better quality.
I have since replaced this tent with a far more expensive, far heavier, and roomier tent for my 2nd season.
As for the features, it is right there with similarly priced dome tents.
