Rated 1 out of 5 by idgetct from Not a good tent Bought this last year for my family of 5. It NEVER sets up right. I have been an avid camper my whole life, but we can never get the bottom flat. Found out this weekend that it leaks, despite being used twice. We all had soggy sleeping roles and damp clothes. Also, the poles get twisted very easily and it seems completely dependent on the rain fly to remain standing. Had my last Coleman 6 person for 20 years, and i am already looking to replace this one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Annamay from Big tent that takes minutes to set up Coleman us pretty good brand , I have different product from them and very happy with quality.This tent is for 8 people , and it takes minutes to set up. When you set it up first time it took us around 10 min, it has manual how to set up , but it is pretty simple and intuitive. First time we tried on our backyard, my kids were very excited to play there. And we are happy to go for our next camping with this amazing tent . What I like about this tent : -it has big wide doors in case you need to put some gears inside -lots of windows that can be open for ventilation -the size to the ceiling is pretty high, so the tall person can stand without bumping the head -lots of pockets and pouches to store your staff -protecting awning in case of rain -very convenient pre-attached poles to set up very quickly , and very easy to put it back -it has large bag to store the tent -there is a divider to make 2 rooms -it has zipper cuff covers -water resistant The only one thing about this tent , one of our pre-attached poles I think wasn’t working correctly we couldn’t adjust it back with the size of other poles. But anyway it fitted into the bag after . This tent might fit up to 8 people but for my opinion it would be very tight .It depends if it would be adults or kids. If the family with kids then it will be fine . For my family of 4 , this is the perfect size , it has space for everyone and is not tight . But if more then 4 adults I think it is not very convenient. We have one queen air bed and one single size airbed that perfectly fits this tent . Very happy with the quality, size and they way how easy can be set up without any issues.

Rated 5 out of 5 by TexasMom from Yes! It really is fast to set up! Recently had a Scout campout and decided to use this tent for myself since I was accompanying my son solo. I'll admit that I'm not at all inclined for camp setup and the like so I decided to do a practice run in my backyard first. Instructions are clear and easy to understand, even for this novice. It was very fast to set up. I'm pretty sure it wasn't as quick as 60 seconds for my first go but it *was* fast and easy and I'll probably get there after another couple of setups. It's very spacious inside and will easily accommodate my air mattress inside. :)

Rated 2 out of 5 by Amy207 from Amy207 We ordered this online through Cabella’s. Thankfully, we chose to set it up at home before going on a trip. As some of the other reviews describe, one of the poles was defective and on backwards. The pole wouldn’t stay expanded. I returned to the store and replaced with the exact tent, the poles were on right, but seemed ‘sticky’ and was hard to click in place. I plan to keep my receipt. I have a feeling I will end up returning it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Cindylou529 from Great Night Under The Stars We decided to put it up in our back yard for our first stay with the Skylodge Tent 8p Instant Cabin Blkb Coo1 to try it out. Very durable and really easy to set up. It was very cozy and we put a queen size mattress in and had plenty of room. I had forgotten what camping was like ande memories started flooding back from our younger years. I really enjoyed this with my grandchildren and making our own memories now. I did cheat and have a couple of fans in it. It was really a great experience and can't wait to go to the camping grounds. Great quality!

Rated 1 out of 5 by BruceBrew from Not reliable and not repairable Don't bother with the "instant" technology, and probably the company! Remember, when you camp, your tent is probably the most crucial element unless you like sleeping under the stars. Failure here can ruin a trip . . . fast! We only used this tent FOUR TIMES before a pole failed and broke. Also, instant tents CANNOT BE FIXED! No replacement poles possible. So, not reliable and not repairable. That should be a non-started for anyone. Finally, this was my second try with a Coleman instant tent. Now I'm the dummy for not learning the first time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by GMA5 from 5 minutes to set up ! This outdoor tent is so easy to set up , less than 5 minutes! It’s a self contained pop up cabin tent by Skylodge . Says 8 person but more comfortable as 4 person with room to move around. 8 person is doable if you’re counting small children. Love the skylight feature, tent cover, carry bag and quality of the manufacturing ! We’re all ready to camp in the backyard or by the river, this is awesome!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Tinkerfell4you from Quick setup This tent says it sets up in 1 minute, maybe with 4 adults it could be. It is a lot faster and easier than a traditional tent though. I set it up by myself in 8 minutes and my 2 kids did it in 5, much faster than our older Coleman tent. The instructions could be a little bit more detailed, you have to make sure the poles are fully extended outward and the orange button is up. Once set up it's perfect for our family of 5. There is enough room for all of us to sleep and our duffel bags.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ap123 from Great for the family This tent is wonderful. It’s spacious and has plenty of room for my family to sleep, plus extra space to lounge. It comes with a room divider, which can come in handy. It easily fit our queen size air mattress and sleeping bags. There is absolutely room for a second mattress, but we opted to set a couple chairs up instead. The tent is relatively quick and easy to put up and take down. It has the awning that gives extra coverage/protection from rain/sun. There are plenty of screened windows to allow for airflow. The storage bag that it comes in is great. It also shows you the best way to roll up and put the tent away. Overall, I was very pleased with this tent. My kids already want to use it again to camp in the back yard. It definitely makes camping outside more enjoyable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by leelee67 from Affordable and Durable... This was for an outdoor weekend getaway. We all loved it. The weather was perfect for it. It's an Instant Tent, so it wasn't too hard to set up. Just follow the directions and it will be set up in a jiffy. The material is really heavy duty. Very durable. The zippers are easy to maneuver. I like the flaps to give you privacy. The quality of this tent is one the best out there. It's a really great tent. The value was great. The quality is excellent. 5 stars. I would and have recommended to my family and friends.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ccs1688 from Perfect size This is the perfect tent for me and my family. Having a tall tent is important since we are a tall family. The material is strong and sturdy and the tent itself is well made. We set this up in our yard to make sure it is working well and we knew how to set it up. It was easy to set up and take down. We haven’t stayed in it yet since it’s still a little too cold but we can’t wait to put this tent to good use. It is very roomy and will fit our two queen mattresses nicely. We are very happy with this tent.

Rated 5 out of 5 by charitys_mom40 from Perfect Size All Around!! This tent is one of the most simple tents, I have ever had to put up!! It is bigger then I thought it would be and very roomy!! My husband is 6'4" and can stand up in it with no problem. Being big enough to hold 2 queen size air mattresses, our daughter can have a friend or two, go with us on a camping trip and there's still enough room to put your personal belongings in it. It's strong and sturdy. I can't wait to continue using it! I definitely don't regret getting it.....You wouldn't be either!!

Rated 1 out of 5 by ANYTHING BUT COLEMAN from DO NOT BUY - $350 DOWN THE DRAIN! Used this tent twice in one year, third time using and could not get the tent up. One arm would not extend, the other I eventually broke trying to get to extend. Went camping with my little boy and nephew, had to sleep in the truck because this garbage would not work correctly - long night! Been stored in a heated/AC shop. Of course I purchased this 13 months ago so my one year warranty is worthless. I had another instant tent that lasted 7-8 years - DO NOT BUY COLEMAN!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Va23 from Backwards poles We had the same problem as other reviewers. Two of the tent poles were backwards, so it was impossible to set up our tent. Unfortunately, we did not know this until we got up to our camp site, so our trip was ruined and we had to come home. I find it interesting that all of the recent reviews have the same backwards poles problem.

Rated 1 out of 5 by dobetter from Would be cool if it worked Bought one tent and tried to set it up (thankfully prior to our trip) and almost all of the poles were backwards, making it completely unusable. We exchanged it for the same product, hoping it was just defective, but once again one of the poles is backwards and therefore the tent can’t stand on its own. Very frustrating.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Kimmie28 from Nice large Coleman tent! We got this size Coleman tent for our family camping trip this summer. We fit our queen size air bed and a full mattress this tent very spacious for camping. I'd say 8 people in the tent would be to crowded. We used it for 4 people and it was very comfortable. Setup was easy but we had to reread directions. I also had to have extra help set it up. My husband was able to break it down himself. It took 2 of us to fit it in the bag.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Pixydust529 from Amazing tent We are frequently camping and always looking for a new tent for ourselves or friends to use. This tent is not that heavy, packaging has handles to carry which is convenient. Easy to open and easy to understand directions. Took us less than 5 minutes to assemble. Very roomy. First 8 people comfortably. Water proof with no leaks. Zippers open and close with ease. We love this tent. Easy to disassemble took us about 10 minutes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by crly2007 from Super easy set up The Coleman Skylodge Tent 8 person is amazing! I had not been camping in years. I remember how hard it used to be to get set up. Well this tent is amazing. Set up was so quick and easy! This is very spacious. The entrance is large. We had our family and a dog and had lots of room . I love the windows that lets the air in and keeps the bugs out. This is a great quality tent. I look forward to going camping a lot more.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Erica411 from Leaks amd breaks easily. Very easy set up as promised, and I loved the large windows. However, I've used this tent twice and one of the poles has already bent, the tent is still usable but that pole no longer folds up properly. I've not been rained on in this tent yet, but while testing it's waterproof abilities with a hose, this tent dripped from all three back windows. Very disapointed.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Michigan Review from Incorrect Pole Install When we set it up one of the poles was installed backwards and we had to uninstall what the factory did to turn the pole around and reinstall. The tent did not retract properly as it was originally purchased. Also the delivery driver wrecked our landscaping when he drove off the driveway; not specific to the tent but specific to the receipt experience.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sassyboston from Tent I'll be soon become a camping girl with this tents, Skylodge™ 8-Person Instant Camping Tent have alot of space. Very nice tent. This thing is amazing! It's huge! It was super easy to set up and not to difficult to pack back up. Setup is a breeze as everything is numbered or color coded, the stakes and other items have their own bag. Let's go camping

Rated 5 out of 5 by Stringshredder from Incredibly fast set up!!! This Coleman instant tent is incredibly fast to set up. I had another older model of the insta tent and must say this one is way easier and faster to set up. This one is as easy as laying it out, extending poles, attaching rainfly, and anchoring it down. I honestly can't think of a way to make setup any easier. This one is one I don't mind setting up in the backyard in a moments notice for the kids and taking it down. I must highlight how big the door is on this tent! It makes it so easy dragging in your gear, especially those air mattresses. I love the pockets for storage and the room divider is a nice feature too. I also love the height of this tent. I have plenty of room to stand up in it. It has floor to ceiling windows allowing for nice airflow if you choose to keep them open. It also has a floor vent for airflow. I also love the "cupped" bottom so you don't have to worry about rain water leaking in. I could not be happier with this tent!

Rated 5 out of 5 by JWams from More like Skysweet Coleman products never dissapoint, but we finally got a chance to assemble and use this big bad cabin tent and we love it. While i would say its more like a 6 person tent, it was easy to assemble and break down. Packs up nice and also seems pretty durable. Not sure yet how it will tolerate rain and wind. But as of now, its a 10 out of 10.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MarissaM from must have for big families our family LOVES this instant cabin. Its very easy to set up and take down. There is more space beyond imagined. Our family of 10 were able to fit comfortably after set up and a bit of rearranging.Overall, this is a must have. The material feels pretty tough. We have some roudy kids and if they cant rip it, youre good.Definetly worth it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Joyride from Doesn’t hold up to basic use Broke with the first use. Tent looked like it was straining the struts when put up. One of the sewn seams was already coming apart. When taking it down, the plastic hinge locked up and the strut buckled. Got one use out of it, now it’s junk. Sad. Also the instructions were extremely hard to follow and only to in Spanish for some reason.

Rated 4 out of 5 by James35 from Durable just wish setup was quicker I love how far tents have come that the poles are already attached and you don't have to worry about where what poles go where. This says a 1 minute setup but unfortunately the first time took a good 30 minutes trying to figure it out and 2 people doing it but I'm sure the more times we set it up we will get faster. I do like how the instructions are attached to the bag and this way they won't get lost. The poles themselves extend and it states to slide it out 1 or 2 times and you will hear it click to make sure it's in place. Once set up it is nice and spacious and as stated can fit 2 queen air beds. Plenty of windows and I love how you can take the screen off as well to get extra air. It is also tall so I can actually stand up inside of it in the middle. Take down is simple and I love the bag where you lay it out and put the flaps over the tent to make for storing it actually practical. Overall it is a well made tent that will be used for lots of adventures this summer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Durable & easy to put up I love the carry bag it comes with. Easy to carry around. It is a little heavy but that would be expected. Very simple to put up. Makes it convenient when I dont have to spend over a hour on just putting my tent up when i am camping. Very spacious inside, fits my whole family of four inside.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mperez1123 from Easy-Peasy Wow!! I am absolutely blown away by the ease of Coleman Skylodge 8p instant tent. Truly the quickest ma and my husband have had a tent up ever and with no arguments. The easy up and down makes this a must for anyone, not to mention the large door and beautiful color combination.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Smorak90 from Amazing This tent is absolutely amazing. It’s huge on the inside and I can stand and walk around it without hitting the top. I put it up by myself and it only took minutes because of the snap poles. It was perfect for our little camping trip. Easy to take down and pack away also.
