We set the tent up tonight and it went very smoothly as advertised. We had it up in less than 1 minute with two adults and a three year old...LOL...coming down was not as easy. It took about 5 minutes which still is not bad. Hopefully Coleman can clarify that part of the directions a little better. I like the two room feature and all the windows. On a scale of 1 to 10 I give it a 9.
Once I take it camping that might change but for now I am happy...
I was hoping to put this tent up by myself since I doubt my husband will camp very much with us.

am also considering this tent. Does it seem to be good quality? I'm nervous that it doesn't have a rainfly. Where did you purchase it? Like the original poster, my husband may not camp with me and I want to be able to set it up/take it down on my own. I've been happy with Coleman products over the years. (I actually just mended a 20 year old Coleman sleeping bag!)

Please recommend an 8 or 10 person family tent for us?

Can anyone recommend a tent that would be big enough for me, my wife , and 3 children? My youngest will be sleeping in a pack and play.
Would like a bathtub floor, good ventilation. A canopy over the front door would be a great bonus. I like the idea of divided rooms.
We are not camping anywhere very cold.. but would need something that will stand up to rain.
We are considering a family camping tent a friend is using.

Your best bet is a 6-man and a 4-man, with the two oldest in the 4. Consider one quality tent (REI? Sierra Designs? Big Agnes?) and one cheapie (Eureka Tetragon 8?) and upgrade later. Anything over 6 is difficult to set up, is bigger than most ideal spaces (10X10) at the campsite, usually is under-engineered with poles too thin for the amount of "canvas" they're holding up, have too thin a denier of fabric, large to transport and possibly compromised with steel poles, lack full-coverage rainflys, have screen porches you will almost never use, etc. Those huge tents are great for long-term or seasonal setups but are a real PIA for typical 3-day weekend camping. The advice above regarding Costco Coleman tents is good advice, while they are the bottom-rung in quality, the low Big Box price makes parting less difficult and at least you're out there gaining experience.
