Is the folding tent helpful and useful? I'd love to buy this to save $ instead of going to the salon but I wonder where I would do it in the house.

Yes! We use the tent every time. We don't have overspray when we tan inside the tent. We set it up either in our family room or guest bedroom. It's easy to take outside and spray off with a hose every couple months as the solution builds up inside. We also put a towel down to stand on instead of the foot stickers, but that's just personal preference. Some people do tans in their showers too and just rinse it out. I like the tent.

Yes, the tent is very important. I would set up the tent in my basement or garage because even though you have the tent there is a lot of overspray.

Mostly. It's not the highest end of tents I found, but would greatly recommend it for the price. I found I was not rained on after camping in light rain, but did find that the surface of the tent fabric was very moist on the interior. Feel free to ask if you have any other questions.

Its a great little tent but trying to fold it down is a bit challenging...it has to twist in certain ways. Hard to keep the flower on top. Have to remove a couple of supports at floor area. Hope this helps!

My husband assembled it and it didn't look as though it would be too hard to take it down again. I wouldn't recommend it, if you thought that you would be wanting to fold it up on a frequent basis. Rather, that after use, if you weren't going to use it for quite a while, it could be stored easily, until the next time needed. I'm probably not very helpful, but since the ad for this cage didn't use "folding up" as a selling point, I don't think it's made for that. Best of luck. Geneise

I've set it up by myself before, but I felt like I was putting a lot of pressure on one pole when standing it up. If there is wind, it's definitely a two person job. I'd suggest "practicing" in the backyard before the first trip with the tent.

Ridley, you ask a good question. This dryer worked for me because it was a budget-priced LED light for a beginner like me. Having said that, I think you (and me) could do much better, but as a novice, it could also be me! It doesn't seem to "dry" within the parameters of standard instructions for gel drying stages so I leave my nails in an extended period "to make sure" for every stage. I don't think I'd have to do that with a "better" dryer. Because it's my first time doing this whole process at home I don't have anything to compare my experience to besides salons; however, I am so glad I made this move I cannot tell you. Practice does make perfect and I love how my nails look every time! Even if it takes longer than it should because I don't "trust" the dryer. Thankfully, Gelish makes great products and the shine is incredible. I've already made my money back, and don't regret the purchase as a beginner, but I will probably buy another dryer within the next year.

Yes it does! I was actually surprised because I thought the screen room was just that..but..you can actually close up the sides too! So it is really like a two room tent! I do not have a big family, just my hubby and two large labs...but it was like a camping mansion. Haven't used it in bad weather, so I don't know how it will fair. The material is kinda thin, and I actually accidentally ripped a little hole in the bottom because I was rough on it. But if you are not a clutz, I am sure you will be satisfied. It is no Mountain Hardware (rei brand)..but we love it!

Are you going to be living in the house full-time? I live in a condo and use this to keep up on socks and underwear year-round and then use it for everything in the summer (because I can line dry). If you're not going to be there full-time, I'd go with this. If you are going to be there full-time I'd suggest this if you are looking to save money initially and then get a compact unit, they have excellent ones that are a washer and dryer and fit in the kitchen (it seems weird in America, it's common in Europe).

Best tent ever...Easiest to put up and take down..I'm a 48 yr old woman and lived and camped in one all summer by myself. I thought it would end up being a rinky dink thing because of its ease but its GREAT> Perfect size. It did great in winds about 25...I did hook up the tie downs tho and staked them in good and tight..enjoy! (mine is orange tho?)

The tent has plenty of screens and a roof vent that works well. I would not try to sleep in it with the vent not open all of the way or it will be stuffy. I found that with the roof vent open and the screens partially open it does fine in both summer and winter. The tent handles the rain without any leaks and is a breeze to setup even by yourself. I recommend putting a tarp underneath it to protect the floor from anything that might puncture it. The tent handles the wind really well and makes camping enjoyable by not having to fight with poles coming apart. Best tent for your money in my opinion!

One might be able to put a curling iron/straightener in the center section, standing up. A lot depends on just how much and what kind of "hair stuff" you are referring to. In my opinion it is better suited for makeup accessories and as I mentioned a few hair items, depending on the size and quantity.

It is a good tent as long as it is NOT hot, you would be better off with a good ENO hammock, bug net and tarp. The same weight but more comfortable.

Shirley, It's a very easy tent to put up. I'm 51 and the only issue I have had is when first opening the tent at an event I have a hard time locking the first pin into place. I think it is because it is a new canopy and just tight. I have had this tent now for about 10 shows and it is now becoming easier. If you are using at a show, there is always someone around that can help you lock in the first leg, after that it is very easy. Tear down is just as easy. It's a very nice canopy with a denser fabric. I just waterproofed my canopy last week and was thankful this past weekend during a rain storm as I didn't have any leaks around the seams. I would definitely recommend. Lorie, J Rowe Apparel

The tents are offered by different sellers (not Amazon.com) so the question would need to be addressed to a specific seller who can tell you about the tent(s) that they personally have on hand to sell. The one I got was Eureka. I also wrote a review here which may give you more information.

In answer to the question- "Can one person set up this tent?" --YES, easily. I set it up in my kitchen when I first got it so I could take my time and work out any problems. I had NO problems whatsoever. Read the directions, follow them step by step, and the next time you set it up will be Quite easy. Have fun! :)

You can put the tent up very quickly. The frame is an accordion style which means you just simply open and close it. Please let us know if you have additional questions.
