Coleman, I thought better of you. Although this chair was reasonably comfortable, it is NOT as sturdy as its seemingly solid frame would suggest. In the past, I have bought Coleman chairs that have stood up to nearly a DECADE of frequent use and are still going strong, but this thing literally unraveled after just a few months of normal daily use. As you can see from the pictures, the bungee cord snapped and the chair is now useless. (And before you even ask, no, it wasn't me. I'm a six-foot-tall person but do NOT have the kind of weight that breaks furniture, folding or otherwise.) I was willing to pay a higher price for this chair, based on the confidence I had in the brand and the (apparently false) assumption that I would be buying a quality product. Based on this experience, I'll think twice before buying Coleman again. It's a shame.

This product is very good. I don't know that include cover bag. The cover bag is perfect. Very warm, big size, softly and light weight ! (My baby height is about 2.9ft)

First picture is how it came in the box. Last picture is after i deflated it and packed it back up. I did not put a ton of effort into packing it away, and it is only a little bigger. I put in 4 D cell batteries, and it fully inflated in minutes. The mattress is firm and comfortable, and it feels really durable. I deflated the mattress without opening the valve at all. I used the deflate setting on the pump, and it pulled out all the air in minutes. I folded it to the center and rolled the mattress up, and put it back in the sack. I removed the batteries for storage, wrapped them in bubble wrap, taped them up and put them in the bag with the mattress. Great quality comfortable mattress!

I ordered 2 chairs...one was in plastic and is fine. The other was not a d has dirty treadmills on it...like from a shoe! Unable to return as traveling but not happy. Would like to receive a discount!

In the product description it says globe fits a Coleman Lantern model 5152C. When globe arrived, it was in a box that did not state it would fit a 5152C. But it indeed did fit!

I setup this tent as a quick test run for car camping, and it’s compact and lightweight. This is definitely NOT going to fit 2 people comfortably. I’m 5’1” and can lay longways with a little extra space at my head and feet. Next to me is about 1.5-2ft of spare room maximum. Enough for a suitcase or duffel bag. It’s a 1 person tent. The poles do feel a bit flimsy, like they will easily break if pushed too hard or bent too much. So use caution. My biggest complaint is the air vents are tiny, including the windows. If the zipper went the additional 4”, I would be happy with it, but it’s like the windows open 2/3rd the way; which is annoying. I think it’ll be a good car camping starter tent, but candidly; for more room for a single person; I would do a 3 person tent. It’ll probably be the right balance of space; especially if it rains and having a little “mud” space near the door.

The picture on colemandiscount.com of this chair was brown. I purposely searched out brown. When ordering, there was no opportunity to order any other color. So I assumed the chairs would come in brown, which is what I wanted. I ordered two chairs and they are black. I did not want black and I do not have time to return because we needed to use them right away. Its important to note that the chairs are of very good quality. Sturdy and well made and the order was delivered promptly. I'm happy with the construction of the chairs, but very disappointed that they are not the color shown on the site.

I used this tent for a summer camping trip in the Adirondacks. There was plenty of space for a queen size, air bed, two people, and our clothes and gear. We were in a breezy location and had great airflow through the tent. We had a 30 minute fairly heavy rain and the tent stayed completely dry. The bathtub style bottom was excellent, and all of the seams were sealed perfectly. Not one drip inside. The pockets inside the tent were great for our glasses and phones. The central loop was perfect for hanging a fan and light overall I’m extremely pleased. It was easy to set up and take down.

Great size for grilling for a small family. Tonight my husband let the Grease cup get too full and it caught fire. Even with the gas turned off, flames were 2 ft high! Once it died out, we found a large hole in the cast aluminum grate where the metal had melted! Fortunately he was cooking outside on a metal table so the grate was the only casualty. With a melting point over 1000 F it was definitely HOT

8ight person Coleman Evanston Tent, $109.99). Purchase and Delivery of the tent was October 2022. As I type, I’ve only set up the tent as a test and have not tested overnight. If necessary, I will update this review after my next campout in two weeks. Everything arrived in good shape and setup fine with no visible flaws. I was not certain the dimensions of this 8-person tent based on specifications provided. To clarify: The Main Cabin alone is 12’ wide x 10’ deep with the door into the main cabin along the 12' section. The attached Porch is12’ wide where it meets the main cabin and tapers down to 8’6” wide at front of the porch. The porch is 5’ deep. In total, the tent is 12’ wide (again, it tapers down to 8’6” wide at the front of the porch) and 15’ deep. If you prefer to use a tarp under the tent, a 12’ x 16’ tarp is the common size you’d need. What I Like: -Price. $109.99. You can’t beat this price for an 8ight-person tent from Coleman. Compared to the SIX-person model for $135.99, which I believe was also already a good deal. -Headroom. The specifications indicate 6’ interior height. I’m 6’3 and was able to stand in the center of the cabin area without crouching. -Easy. The instructions are straight forward, and simple to understand. I made a couple of small mistakes during assembly that I should easily avoid the 2nd time around. Otherwise, it was easy enough to assemble alone. Note, I have one remaining question regarding assembly/design, described later. -Cary Bag. I took the time to neatly fold and repack the tent. With that, it was easy to fit everything back into the included carry bag. I also packed an additional rainfly (will use to help cover the porch if rain is expected). I don’t expect this bag will outlive the tent. For now, however, it’s nice to have a bag that even with the extra rainfly and steaks I’ve packed, everything fits relatively easily without having to fight it to close. Note, check the bottom of the bag to release extra space in the bag. -Zippers and Quality. Throughout the tent, the zippers stood out to be a slightly better quality than what I’ve experienced from Coleman in the past. This is specifically true for the three zippers on the front porch where it will receive heavy use. The overall quality appears to be in line with what I've experienced from Coleman in the past. Things I don’t love: (While considering the following, these observations would not deter me from recommending this product or making the same purchase again. However, I wanted to share my observations and hope they help you make a good decision for your next tent.) -Entire Back Wall. It’s difficult to see from the pictures provided online, but from about 2 feet from the ground and up, the entire back wall is all mesh, without a zip-up privacy window. It’s the only section within the main cabin that does not include a zip up privacy window. I’ve included a picture for this. My concerns: 1) If you are not using the rainfly, you will not have privacy from that back end of the tent. Privacy is restored after the rainfly is added. 2) With the rainfly added, at the bottom there is space between the mesh and the rainfly along the back wall. Picture is included with my hand as a guide where the mesh sits v.s the Rainfly. That gap will result in quicker heat loss within the cabin on a colder night/morning. Add to that, while the rainfly naturally ends a few inches below the mesh, if a stronger wind/rain blows directly in toward that back wall, a draft and even some water splatter could blow up and back into the cabin. I don’t suspect the water will be any major issue, but it is something of concern. 3) If any portion of the mesh were to rip there, beyond a repair, there would be no way to prevent bugs from entering the cabin. -Floor Material Stepping into the Cabin. When moving from the porch into the cabin, the flooring (tub) material does not sit flat on the ground. It feels a bit awkward when stepping closer to the door. Picture included. To be fair, it’s likely designed this way to help shed water away from the cabin. Over time, stepping too close to the door could cause excess stretching to those surrounding components. If it’s bothersome or a trip hazard for someone with a shorter stride, when steaking out the tent, consider not pulling the last three steaks as taught at the front of the porch. This should allow the tub to sit a bit flatter in that area by the door. -Door Walking into the Main Cabin. The door from the outside walking into the Porch feels comfortable. It’s large and centered. However, the door walking into the Cabin feels a bit cramped and awkward. It is smaller by comparison to the porch door and then offset to the right. This causes (another) somewhat awkward step moving through the porch and into the cabin. -Water on the Porch. Water will pass through the mesh on the porch. It’s the way this tent is designed. Consider bringing an extra towel to dry the area as necessary. The good news… I was able to cover the porch without too much trouble. Get creative here to find your own solution. I was originally considering a 10’x10’ beach tent. Or steak out a tarp. In the end, and I'm sure I'm not the 1st person to try this, I used the rainfly from my previous 6 person Coleman dome tent (still in good condition). It is blue/white in the pictures. It seems like this will be a good solution without much work, additional cost, or additional items to pack (as mentioned, the rainfly fits easily into the carry bag along with the rest of this tent). I used an adjustable 5’6” pole to hold up the center of that entry area. And I used 2 extra steaks for guy lines on either side. Water could still get in around the edges, but in a light rain with good drainage away from the tent, the area should stay relatively dry. I also expect this solution will be quiet vs. a tarp moving in the breeze. I’ve included a few pictures illustrating how I made this work. COLEMAN should sell an accessory for this. -Assembly Instructions not 100% Clear. As I hinted earlier in "What I Like - Easy...", from the outside, there are two loops halfway down each corner of the front porch. I expect they are intended for additional Guy Lines, but no instructions or additional guy lines are provided to specify the design here. (Note, the loops are near but separate from the Porch-door-loop-and-toggle-hold-back-system). In my initial setup I assumed they were intended to pass the guy lines through into a single point. I’ve included a picture for this, where I am pointing. I think this setup could have worked fine. However, after reviewing online pictures, the guy lines don't pass through those loops. Again, I'd guess they are for two additional guy lines but that also might be excessive. Maybe I'll use them to hang glow sticks to show the way in the dark. - No Extension Cord Port. It’s worth noting before you purchase, if this is important to you: There is not a port for an extension cord. However, I believe you could easily run a line through the bottom/center of the front porch where those three zippers meet. From there run the line into the cabin from the bottom corner of the front door. You’d need to keep the two zippers closed at that bottom corner and it would become a trip hazard, but you could make it work without letting the bugs in. I hope this helps. Best of luck!

Please update the description to include the list of 22 compatible coolers as shown on the package (see photo). Q&A has misleading information stating they are compatible on all models except Extreme which is NOT true. The description should list the 22 compatible models and a photo of the rear of the package that includes where to located the model number on the bottom of the cooler. This does NOT fit the polylite 68, model 5294A. The correct replacement hinges for a polylite 68 blue cooler is Coleman part number 3000005307 as found on coleman.com Incomplete descriptions, like this one, result in easily avoidable returns which are a huge waste of everyone's resources. My solution? Found scrap seat belt webbing and installed under broken hinges to prevent screw heads pulling through webbing. Stop feeding the beast. Sub-standard & inferior product materials at beyond premium pricing. Product is worth $2 retail. At the rate they fail, should sell them in bulk (dozen) at this price. Inspiration came from Unhiged Inc, selling ones made from fire hose material. Neither the webbing or fire hose material will fatigue crack and fail like the OEM hard plastic ones.

Was expecting so much more from Coleman brand. Horrible quality, stitching coming undone all over. The cover bag has a stain for something that is suppose to be new. And the outside of the sleeping bag feels like a hard, uncomfortable plastic. Nothing like any sleeping bag I've ever felt. Concept of this sleeping bag is genius, but poorly executed.

Liviana y con gran espacio .. su meterial no se ve tan resistente como otras coleman .. pero esta bie Para su precio. . Creo que cumplirá su función básica.

The chair is nice but the bag came damaged. Was dirty and had a hole in it. I bought this for a gift but it looks like a regift!

Note: I have not slept in this tent yet- so I will come back to update after I have! This is a nice tent- the dark room technology works rather well for 12 noon full sun when we tested it out. I tried to record a video of how dark it was inside the tent- but my phone has low light technology on that makes everything appear much brighter. Therefore, I won’t upload the video as it’s not accurate! One thing I would change about this tent is the 2 loops to hold the door open- there is NO plastic piece (a toggle?) to do so! So unless there is another way that I’m not sure of, I’ll have to tie a knot to keep the door up. I’ll have to look inside the bag to see if toggles came with the tent stakes and I overlooked them. I will update this later. The tent only comes with one hanging pocket which is divided in half. There is no hooks on the roof that I saw to hang a light of anything else. This tent could definitely hold two adults but not a lot of extra room if two people are in it. It’s definitely roomy enough for one person. The tent pops open very forcefully and could smack someone in the face if they aren’t careful. Closing the tent was a little tricky- but not too hard to figure out. It does come with instructions sewn into the carrying case. The instructions say to add a rubber belt around the folded tent to secure it- but it didn’t come with one. Due to no ceiling hooks for hanging a light or fan, not having toggles for the door, and no strap for securing the folded tent closed, I am only giving this tent 4 stars.
