Good enough for the weekend

I had never been tent camping before. I had no idea what kind of tent to buy. My boyfriend invited me along with his friends and told me to buy my own tent as his is too small for two people. I read reviews on every tent out there. I didn’t want one too big or too small. I saw this tent and bought it based on the reviews. Here are the pros and cons of this tent based on my experience. Pros: 1. Easy to assemble. I’ve never put a tent together before so it was pretty easy, although I did have to watch a YouTube video about how the top goes on. 2. Cute. I’m a girl, this is important to me. 3. Waterproof. One of the 5 days we camped, a rain storm came through, my tent and all its contents stayed bone dry. 4. Easy to take down. Took me 10 minutes to take the whole thing down. Cons: 1. Small. This thing is tiny. It fits a queen sized air mattress in it and that’s it. No room for anything else. Also, it’s short so you can’t stand in it. I was glad my boyfriend brought a tent. We ended up sleeping in my tent and keeping our belongings in his tent. 2. Small. The pictures I saw on Amazon showed that you could take a chair and sit under the canopy. Not possible. 3. It was unclear how to put the top part on without help. 4. No air flow. With the top part on, you can’t get air in, I had to buy a fan. 5. Folding. I think this is a common thing with tents, but I had to buy a duffle bag to put this tent in as it wouldn’t fit in the original package.
