ok but not what I was looking for, 03/11/2010
By kgonzales
Overall Rating: 2 out of 5 2 out of 5

I set it up just to see what it was like since I bought it online and didn't want to take it on my trip without seeing it first. It is smaller than I thought and a few parts work broken so I plan to return it.

Review 2 for Wenzel Sycamore 3 room Family Dome Tent

Pretty good tent, 02/17/2010
By chicagobearsfan2010, Chillicothe, OH
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

I ordered this tent online for a site-to-store pickup. First, the price was great. For a tent this size I would have expected to pay a lot more.

Second, it was very easy to setup. I had a 2 1/2 year old "helping" me and it still only took me 25 minutes. I should note that this is the first tent I have ever set up so if a first timer can put it up in 25 minutes with no help that means it is pretty easy. If you put it up by yourself I would suggest having something fairly long to prop up the center portion. Once you have assembled the frame on the ground you need to raise it and if you are by yourself you will need something to hold up the center while you go around and fasten the poles.

Third, it is very roomy. The dimensions are a bit misleading because it is not a square or dome tent but more of a pentagon. Because of this, the rooms get smaller toward the ends. But the middle section/room is still very roomy. It looks large enough for a queen size air mattress with room to spare. The two end sections/rooms are much smaller. An average size adult would find them snug. But overall the tent still feels very large especially if you don't put up the room dividers.

Overall quality seems good. I have only had it up once and did not actually sleep in it. I put it up for a test run. Everything fit like it should. Nothing broke or ripped. I plan on spraying the seams prior to its first use.

It has some small pockets inside to store stuff. It has a small mat in front of the front door/flap to wipe off your shoes. It has a small cargo net that goes overhead in the center section.

Overall I am very happy with this purchase so far. The only reason I didn't rate it higher is because I haven't truly used it yet.

This tent has plenty of room I thought we had a full size mattress and two twin size plus extra room for our luggage. But I have to say make sure you water proof your tent it did leak a little in the rain.

good family tent, 11/30/2009
By onlineshopperhl, Spring, TX
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

We ordered this tent for our boys first Boy Scout Camp Out. We ahd it shipped to our house and were really impressed with how fast we received it. The tent is good qulaity for the most part and it is a bonus that we can stand up in it. The only negative thing is that one of the loops for the deviding wall broke, the first time we hooked it in. The stakes are plastic, so they can break when hammering them into this Texas clay ground. But overall it was a satisfactory shopping experience.

Good value, odd layout, 10/26/2009
By moseyAlong, Northern Virginia
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

Bought the tent for camping with cub scouts and young family. Arrived mangled, and had to get 2 new parts, which were difficult to get. I sealed seams, sprayed, and replaced stakes. Held up fine in 10-15mph gusts, on wet ground (no falling rain). It was into the high 30's, but we were comfortable because of multiple layers of clothing, sleeping bag, and blankets. The floor plan was odd, and made it difficult for a queen airbed, full air bed and sleeping bag on pad. Probably a good value, but I think maybe a square tent next time, so I don't have to cut the ground cloth into a squashed pentagon shape!

Our very first tent, 10/18/2009
By campingisfun39, Houston Tx
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

We just set it up for the first time in the backyard and it was pretty easy for two adults in about 40 min. I'm sure we'll be faster next time as this was new for us. We tested it for leaks and found none. We did seal the seams with sealant as recommended by another review. Definetly need a bigger storage bag as it would not fit back in the bag. Lots of space inside. The room dividers are cheap and complicated so if you are looking for true seperate rooms this is not for you. We have no kids so it's very spacious for just the two of us and maybe one other couple. You could easily put two queen beds and still have room for gear. You can stand up straight in the middle section but not on either end but that's cool as that's where beds would be anyway. I love that it has 3 doors. Great ventilation throughout. I recommend replacing the plastic tent stakes with the metal ones as they are cheap and bendable.

Bought this tent, sounds large but has only a small space that you can stand in and thats where you first walk in, you can not fit a queen mat on either end, only in the center and then when you step in the door you step on your bed. not satisfied with this tent, took it back to walmart and exchanged it for the colman max cabin tent,,,, now thats a very nice tent....reneet6055

Excellent Camping Experience, 09/07/2009
By Chris34, Carolina Beach, NC
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

This tent met all our expectations! Great value and lives up to its rating. We went beach camping as soon as we got it, and it held up to wind, rain and salt air perfectly. The stakes that came with it held in the sand very well, and the rain fly kept all the elements out. Great Tent!!

Bohemath Tent!, 08/20/2009
By YochieMama, Nevada
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

We LOVE this tent! It held up at the beach with 30 mph winds and 100 degrees with pucking kids in it! Mind you, we got super strong steaks to go with it. Anyone who knows how to camp knows you always have to buy "real" steaks. It also worked fabulous in the woods. We love this tent because it's tall enough to stand up in and dress, there is tons of room for our 3 kids and two parents plus all of our clothing and food (not in bear country) to hang out while we sleep or are gone. We sleep in seperate areas (not those stupid little room dividers either!) with mattresses There are two entrances so we don't have to worry about what direction to face it. We did have five kids and two adults in it, including a playpen and all our clothes and food at one point. We all fit comfortably. Our tent is a different color but same model. WE LOVE THIS TENT!

Great Product, 08/17/2009
By shopshoptilludrop, Michigan
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

We own a 4 sleeper Wenzel and love it. It was a easy decision to purchase another tent from this company. We were able to comfortably fit 2 queen airbeds and have space for bags. I didn't get the size of the 3 rooms, if we kept the curtain dividers up we would have been able to fit only 1 queen airbed. We had rain from dawn to dusk and this tent worked great, NO LEAKS.
We are very happy with our purchase and know where to look if we need another.
Keep up the good work Wenzel!

By help2choose, Texas
Overall Rating: 3 out of 5 3 out of 5

The pictures online are missleading. I put up the tent today and noticed that it has a V shape. It is not really big enough to set up two queen matresses, they either touch the wall or they touch in the center which makes it really hard to enter, since they touch right by the door. So safely said it's too small for me, my husband and 3 children, i was dissapointed.

Great Tent, 08/10/2009
By LynneLucile, Los Altos, CA
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

Some have reviewed this tent as a one or two star stating their disappointment with it. We found it to be just great. It rained and it didn't leak a bit. Of course, like good campers, we treated the seams with sealer and sprayed silicon over the entire exterior surface before leaving on our trip. It you put it up correctly, it is a good solid tent. I don't know how some experienced blow-down problems and leaking, because it worked great for us. I think this tent is a great deal and I am a lifelong camper.

I was very dissatisfied with the size of the tent. I expected a rectangle tent that was 18 x 10. There wasn't a picture of the floor plan so I assumed it was rectangle. I bought the tent for 4 of us to sleep in and only 2 of us with our suitcases (1 per person) fit in it.

Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

We just put our tent up for the first time in our back yard to make sure we would know how when we took it camping. We were very pleased with certain features of the tent (such as the metal pegs that you slip the poles onto) and with how easy it was to put up and take down. The tent was a little smaller than we had anticipated and the room dividers were definitely not what we expected. But all in all the tent was worth the price we paid and I would recommend it to others.

very bad, 07/20/2009
By ashor, Murrieta, Ca
Overall Rating: 1 out of 5 1 out of 5

I have been camping for 37 years. This was the worse tent I have EVER purchased. Poor quality, very bad instructions on how to set and most of all, once you set it, the way the tent was put together seems to be as if someone just attached this and that to make a tent. Thank God it did not rain. If it did, I know we would be in big trouble. The seems were very poorly attached. All and All, I would not recommend this tent to anyone for any price. I have had better luck with $70 dollar tents. I paid for this $119.00 plus tax which came to almost $130.00. Trying to put it in the bag that it came with was a nightmare.

The tent went up fine. We did not have rain, so the "weatherproofness" could not be tested. The fly did not seem tight, though. I was not crazy about the U shape design and it is smaller than expected. Still, we liked the shoe mat on the outside of the tent.
