This really is a handy little tent. I viewed the video linked through Amazon, and without any further instructions, I had the tent out of its bag and set up within 1 minute 18 seconds. There's plenty of headroom to sit up, and at 5'11", I was able to lie down with room to spare. Easily space for two people my size with a cuddly child in-between. When the bag is fully loaded with the fly, stakes, etc… it measures about 30 " long and might weighs around 8 lb. My neighbor, the real camper, says it would be ideal for "car camping", and could easily be "packed in" a few miles to a nearby campsite. My biggest challenge was getting it back into its bag. No problem collapsing the frame and gathering the tent..it was just difficult getting all of the fabric stuffed in. Actually made things a lot easier by using two of the supplied "wind" ropes to spiral-wrap the entire assembly and compress it enough to slip back into the bag very easily. SO: Lots of space in a small package. Clever construction and very easy to set-up and take-down. I don't anticipate and problems with durability, but if there's an issue, I'll let you know.
