Comments about Eureka Eureka Tetragon 1210 Tent:
The first time I set it up the thick main poles (of which there are 2)goes though the little short sleeves at the top of the tent but I missed that top single loop,I wondered what it was for and now I know.. Also the the brimmed poles for the fly that go over the doors and side windows are different size,the longer are for the fount and rear doors and shorter ones for the side windows we are talking about the fly that goes over the tent...
It does take 2 people to put this tent up or in my case, myself and a 4 year old...
Tent has 2 doors, 6 windows, plus 4 roof vents for superior ventilation.
Will sleep up to 6 people not 8...less if using air beds.
The hooded fly provides enough coverage over the front and rear door windows to enable you to leave the window partially open for even more ventilation even in rain.
Twin track zippers for separate operation for the windows and screens in the doors...
External guy points on the fly help secure your tent in high winds. Buy some good tent stakes the plastic ones provided are not good.
I bought a 8' by 10' ground tarp that fits under the tent nicely and does not stick out to catch any rain that might come in the middle of the night.
Brimmed door and windows look good also and helps the ventilation.
You seem to loose a lot of room using the room divider.

Comments about Eureka Eureka Tetragon 1210 Tent:
This is a great tent for that is applicable for lot of settings. Its huge, with a partition, well placed windows and doors. Both are easily usable and well built, strong and not leaky. Windows can be rolled up and tucked with the hooks. There is a nice equipment loft that is very useful and a great idea.
Now to more important stuff:
First night I used this tent, we got a huge storm hit us. There was tons of rain and winds. The rain fly is great on it. You can keep the windows open a bit for ventilation even with lotta rain, esp since there are windows on all 4 sides, so you can find a side away from wind direction. The tent is GREAT for wet conditions. During the rain, I could feel the water puddles right under the tent (I didn't even have a tarp under the tent) all night long but NONE of that seeped in. It got a bit 'damp' on areas where the mud was being pressed on the floor but NO WATER got in. This in my mind was the ultimate test of water proofing. I do suggest tarp under all tents so that it doesn't tear and get dirty/muddy but the quality of this tent is unquestionably very high.
The setup and tear down time is very good. Due to size and height of the tent, it does require two people to get it up. But it is very to set it up with or without directions. The rain fly directions are not the best but it'll take only 1 try to get it down. It is relatively light compared to rest of the tents in this size.
Buy this tent!

Comments about Eureka Eureka Tetragon 1210 Tent:
We just used this tent for the first time last weekend and we'll be in it again this coming weekend! My husband and I fit compfortably on our double air mattress and we had our 1 yr. old son in his pack n play, and there was still room for some of our bags.
Very spacious with a high ceiling, lots of windows for ventilation.
Although I believe it states that it sleep 8 that would only be with sleeping bags and no accessories. It would prob sleep 6 nicely.
EXTREMELY EASY to set up and FAST too!
I would def recommend this tent!
