Unzip the outer bag, remove and put the tent down and it sets itself up. there are now some 6 or 8 stakes involved in securing the "2-second tent" to the ground at the campsite, but there are no elastic poles to pop together, no struggling with canopies or flaps, just unzip it and stow your gear inside. It sleeps 2 adults,with their gear, very comfortably. There are a few zip-open flaps for cross ventilation, and a double zip-down flap for the "doorway" opening. The closed, packaged tent weighs about 6 pounds, and has a carry strap for your shoulder. I have used this tent dozens of times in the last few years, in conditions ranging from a downpour to windy beachside, and it provides dry, comfortable shelter in a variety of circumstances. Once you've taken it down the first time, (using the very simple to follow directions printed on the attached hangtag) it's simple to do, and you can focus on the post set-up/ break down activities, rather than spending an hour working up a sweat on both ends of your outdoor trip. Also makes a great, easy up/easy down beach shelter. I love the 2-second tent! If you must sleep outside, sleep in one of these.

Easy set up, and pack away easy.  Good for tailgating/camping

This tent is perfect for two people.  I was able to assemble it very quickly with the help of my 4 year old daughter, so there's certainly something to be said about that.  The windows do not have a solid zipper enclosure, so if you want privacy you need to install the rain fly.  Personally, I like being able to see the wildlife around my tent and the cross breeze is usually welcome on warm nights.

My kids and I are not small people.  I new this going in.
I have never used a one man tent personally, I have always used a two man tent when I camp alone.
I purchased this "4-Person" tent for my kids to use and it works very well.
It has enough room, with only the two of them, to have some room to move around as well as all of the stuff that they bring.
It isn't hard to set up at all.
Up to now we have only used the tent in fair weather so I cannot speak to the tent being water proof.

Nice tent, very easy to set up. It's very small, I am 5' 6" and I don't fit inside I have to bend my legs to fit. Other than that it looks great! Haven't tested it outdoors yet. Also it doen't come with a carry bag.

Great for a short camping trip. Very easy to set up.

Cons: zipper gets caught on the covering flap (the tan curve at the bottom right of the door), bottom vent zipper is on the outside -why?, Not really 4 person (I think this is standard for tents, but if you can't really fit four people in here. Maybe if you squeezed and had NO supplies).

Pros: Easy set up! I'm a complete novice and this took only a few minutes -glad I practiced once before actual camping trip, though; my son and I plus some gear were very comfortable. Great for the price.

i bought one of these a couple of months ago and liked it so much i bought another one. the zippers are very smooth, seal up good with no light leaks. this tent was super easy to set up by myself ,taking about 10 minutes. really like the strong corner brackets and supports in the top of the tent. especially like having a tray in the bottom . it is easy to put in /take out for cleaning and the sides stand up like the are supposed to. the side openings make it easy to maintenance plants in the back of the tent without having to take everything out first. multiple openings in the top and sides  give you options when running power cords and ventilation in and out of tent. great product at a fair price, something hard to find these days.if i do any expansion in the future it WILL be done with Vivosun tents without a doubt

This was really easy to set up, just as described.  I was able to get it up in less than two minutes by myself.  It is a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be.  It feels more like a tent than a sunshade but, by the time every kid on the beach piles into my shade tents, this seemed like a goo choice.  It came with stakes that are meant for sand but, I bought an extra set just in case

Haven't taken it into the wilderness, but my trial run in my yard was a success. Very easy assembly, I'm sure someone who has never put up a tent before could figure it out. I left it up for a few days to see if I would need to seal the seams-- through 2 rainstorms, the inside stayed dry (I had an extra tarp under, to accurately simulate how I do it while camping), and I had no problems with moisture seeping through. I'm still going to seal the seams, though. I'd say 2 people plus gear would fit very comfortably, but I like my space. 4 people could fit, but there would be little room for much else.

update: I have now used this tent several times in the field. It works very well as a dry weather tent for a single average sized male occupant or two smaller people. I was comfortable solo, but would not have been comfortable with anyone else inside. On the other hand, my wife and 9 y/o son used it and had no problems. The gear pockets are helpful, but it would have been nice to have a ceiling hook or loft to put a light. It is VERY easy to set up an take down... IF you practice! It's super easy to set up. The folding process is tricky to learn, but once you figure it out, it is quite simple. The floor is pretty thin, I purchased a lightweight tarp at Harbor Freight to use as a floor protector and it worked great. As for set up time, it took about 1 minute to set up and slightly less time to take down. Most of that time was spent on the stakes.

I haven't used this tent in the field yet, but I set it up in my yard to test it out. I was actually quite impressed with how quickly it came up. It took about ten seconds to get it up. I didn't stake it down, but suspect that would have been quick. I'll time myself when I go camping in 2 weeks, and my guess is that I'll be able to set it up completely in two minutes or less. Putting it away took a few tries to get right. I'd definitely recommend that you practice before you take it camping. After a couple of tries, though, it went back in the bag.

Here are my thoughts wrapped up so far:

Pros:
Quick setup
Quick takedown and easy to stow
Lightweight
Affordable

Cons:
Small (two person might refer to two average to smaller sized adults in mummy bags. Or one large man in a wide sleeping bag.
Large footprint when stowed (about the size of a small hula hoop)

That's it for now. I'll post more after I've field tested it.

Great one person tent.  I bought this after we went to the beach and my wife who has and back had to hike back to the car to change when the weather shifted.  Comes with an attachable roof and floor so would be good for privacy while changing or shade or rain cover if needed.  I am not a small person yet can comfortably change in this tent or fit a folding chair in if I just wanted to sit in some cover.

Took my 8 year old son camping this weekend, and the tent was great. Very easy to set up, and fairly roomy for a two-person tent. (Two person tents are notorious for being slightly large one-person tents.) I'm 6'4" and I was able to sleep fully stretched out. I was also able to sit in the tent in the center without hitting the top.

The tent has a nice design feature where the outer tarp creates a little "vestibule" in front of the entrance, which gives you a little dry spot on the ground to leave your shoes and take them on and off as you enter and exit the tent.

It's incredibly light, and yet when it's set up the carbon fiber skeleton keeps it very rigid. Best of all, it was as easy to take down and repack as it was to setup.

A word of advice: unless you're expecting a ton of rain in a gale, the guy ropes really aren't necessary to use except for the side exactly opposite the door. The tarp stays well-separated from the inner part of the tent just fine without them.

For the price, this is a very high performing tent that's actually big enough for two people (assuming they know each other). I recommend it.

very easy to use basic tent. Over the summer we used it in 8 different states. Wet or dry it packed up easy and was ready to go at the next stop. Probably not a one person backpacking tent.

Easy to put up by myself (and I'm an older woman with little experience putting up tents). I set it up in about 15 minutes. Had a single cot in it and a backpack, small cooler and a box of food with room left over. I would recommend a ground cover, especially under the entrance to keep dirt out. It was about 40 degrees out and I stayed warm enough with a light weight sleeping bag. Will be using it again for sure.

It was much bigger than I expected and very easy set up and take down. One person can put this up by themselves.  Awesome tent!!  Highly recommend!

Large tent that fits the whole family at a great value.  Easy to set up, took 2 people about 15-20 minutes the first time.  Lots of windows provides good ventalation.
