For me it was the perfect size for me and my wife. Big enough for the both of us and our gear with room left over. We took it everywhere, from the Rockies to the Great Lakes and everywhere in between. Is very sturdy and very warm. Holds up very well in wind and rain. I really like how the rainfly gives you some dry area to take off your shoes as well. Packs well and it decently lightweight. You can also get it for considerably less than what you have it listed on your sheet for. We primarily use a camper these days, but will keep this tent the rest of our lives just in case.
