The reason behind the heavyweight of the tent is the presence of strong materials used in it which we discuss below. When this tent is packed then it attains the dimensions as 48 inches x 9 inches (L x D).
Therefore, you will need to analyze the space in your car. Due to its heavyweight, this tent is not for long distances. Basically, you have to camp on the car access location.

On the other side, an experienced camper will be able to set up in around sixty seconds i.e. in around one minute. The biggest reason behind the easy set-up of the tent is its frame structure. All the four side poles along with the roof poles are pre-attached to the tent.
Moreover, there is a clip system in all of the four side poles. All the four poles are very similar like telescopic trekking poles. Therefore, once you extend it completely, you will find the clip popping out. Here, the poles will be locked at an adequate length.

The company claims that this tent can easily accommodate six-person. After the successful setup of the tent, it offers a tent floor area of 90 sq. ft. i.e. 8.4 sq. m.

This tent is a square room construction. There are no room dividers are included in the tent. Therefore, if there is a single-family or friends group then this tent is good for you. However, two families or two couples will need to look for other options for privacy concerns.
The peak height of the tent is around 6 ft 2 inches i.e. 1.88 m. So, if campers are taller then they can comfortably stand inside it.
The Coleman 6 person Instant tent attains the dimensions as 10 ft x 9 ft i.e. 305 cm x 274 cm. As per our experience, this tent will best fit for a family of a maximum of two parents and their two kids. The company claims that two queens sized beds can be easily inserted inside the tent.
However, it is not so practical because queen size beds have integrated side tables (like Coleman queen size camping bed, its width is around 1.5 m) therefore, it is not practically possible to insert two queen-sized beds.
Don’t worry, the bunk beds can be a great alternative to queen-sized beds. You can easily fit one set of bunk beds for kids and one set for adults. Still, you will get around the one-meter wide corridor in between them. Therefore, two parents and two kids’ families can easily opt for Coleman 6 person instant cabin tent.
