Summary: Amazon does NOT have this model in stock
Comment: Unfortunately, even though the customer service person assured me that I would get the right model, I was sent the 2006 model, which is far inferior to the 2005 model. I posted a picture of the various visual diffences between the 2. But Amazon was great about returning the item at no cost to me. I am sad that this listing is still here because the next customer service person told me they did NOT have it in stock and I really wanted it. Also The pictures for this listing are the 2006 model.
The only way to really tell the model is a small number on the side of the box, right above the bar code that says 'Squall Ridge tm style # 5550' this is the 2006 model number that I returned. I hope this helps anyone else looking for this tent.

Summary: Great tent - 2006
Comment: This tent has "tons" of open air space - making for great camping in Texas or anywhere else it is warm. Also, the rainfly is thick and has zippers, letting you open as little or as much as you want (in addition to the lower vents that can be left open if it is raining without getting water inside your tent). The materials are much better than those on the cheaper tents and well worth the extra money - especially if it is windy or rainy. It is a little difficult to get the main tent poles together and up if you are trying to do it alone(but it could be because I am only about 5'2" - and this tent is 72" tall.) Also, the description states the bag has wheels - which it does not. Based on the weight, this tent is not a backpacking tent (30+ pounds). I would also not make your decision to buy this tent based on the "remote control light" which works, but then again, so does a $5 flashlight. I would definitely recommend this tent for family campers who either can park near the campsite, or are willing to bring a wagon to tote it. Lots of room (we have 4 and a dog who camp) and good quality materials.

Summary: Disappointed
Comment: After reading the other reviews about the tent, I was excited about the pricing and features the tent had. Unfortuantely, as some of the other reviewers inferred, the model sent was not the 05 model as advertised but a new cheaper made version without the storage locker, wheels on the cart, and clean sweep and with more mesh. The price was still a decent buy and I hope to get much use but overall I was disappointed and expected better.

Summary: GREAT TENT!
Comment: Instructions were pretty shady first time through, they refer to parts as blue pole, when there are three different blue poles. But after you get the tent up the first time set up and tear down are a breeze. Tent is very roomy i would say you could sleep 5-6 average size adults comfortably.

Summary: Columbia Family Dome Tent
Comment: We realy like this tent. It worked great on the cool coast and worm climates. Advise to setup at home for first time setup. The rainfly is tricky at first, but after first setup everything is a snap. This temt was made to last! Columbia did a great job, two doors makes it easy to get in and out form eather side.
