This is unbelievably easy to set up. I can do it by myself and it takes less than a minute. It's bigger than the Coleman, giving us a 12 x 12 area to relax in and it provides plenty of space for a table and chairs. It comes in an oversized bag which gives you plenty of room to pack it away. I really hate it when tents and other such things come in bags that are almost impossible to pack them back into. When in the bag, the Clam shelter is definitely longer than the Colman shelter but it has a slimmer profile and is much easier to lift and carry. The bag also has a shoulder sling and I can easily carry it over my shoulder with no problems. When setting it up the first time, I recommend paying close attention to some of the demonstration videos that can be seen online to avoid some of the problems that I've read about in other customer's reviews. I've read that some mistakenly tried to put it up in a "wrong side out" fashion which resulted in some very confusing situations. I try to think of it like "planting a tree". The shelter's central "roof hub" is what rests on the ground while the majority of the tent fabric is up in the air. You just let it open up and blossom like flower in a sense. Then, you just walk to each wall and pop it out with the final step being to walk inside to lift the roof up. It really is quite simple. Now, I saw plenty of videos of people putting it up, but I couldn't find anything about taking it down. I just did everything in reverse obviously and it also was very simple process.
The shelter is fairly well made and you the company has put some extra features in to make it more durable. The eyelets that are used to pull the walls out are made of metal and there is extra fabric in the corners which protects those vulnerable areas from tearing. There is also an extra layer of fabric securing the area around the central hub for durability and increasing water resistance. The one thing that I did notice, however, is that the needle holes for the stitching are quite noticeable in the corners making these areas the most vulnerable for water. While the shelter doesn't claim to be waterproof, I will certainly be adding some seam sealer to these areas in order to make it's "resistance" a bit more effective. The shelter does come with small plastic stakes, but I plan on using some longer and more heavy duty galvanized tent stakes to provide extra security. Once the shelter is up, it's quite lightweight enough for you and a helper to position it over a picnic table. I've set it up in the yard twice now (once to check it out and once to show a family member how cool it was) and we had no problem positioning it. I also purchased a set (3 panels in each set) of the privacy/wind walls developed by Clam specifically for this shelter as well. They also go on very easy and are great to have. I plan on setting it up one more time to add the seam sealer to the corners and then it will have it's first run as we take it camping in a few weeks. This shelter will certainly help to reduce the amount of set up time and I am looking forward to using it.
Update: 8/19/16 - Just got back from a week long camping trip and this Clam performed very well. We go to a family campground up in the mountains of North Carolina that accommodates both tent and RV campers. We stay in tents but everyone is always walking around and checking other campsites out. The Clam certainly got a lot of attention and I had at least three people (2 who travel in RVs) personally came up and asked questions about the shelter. The folks in the RVs usually sit and eat outside in the evenings and this particular shelter drew their attention because of how easy it is to set up and take down. I put some seam sealer on some of the areas that I had talked about previously in the review and it didn't leak a drop during two light rains and one moderate one. I didn't use the wind screens that I had purchased for it because it was still kind of warm up in the mountains and I didn't want to trap extra heat inside. The plastic stakes that came with the shelter would of been useless in the hard ground where I was at. I was glad that I brought some extra galvanized stakes with me. The wind picked up right before one of the rains and it pushed two of the wall panels in. I ended up using some guy lines around the metal eyelets on the wall panels of the shelter and securing them down with some additional stakes. There were no problems after that. I was very pleased with the performance and it sure made set up and take down a little bit easier.

I ended up using some guy lines around the metal eyelets on the wall panels of the shelter and securing them down with some additional stakes. There were no problems after that. I was very pleased with the performance and it sure made set up and take down a little bit easier.
Construction/durability: The tent seems to be sturdy and well made. We set it up at our campsite at 9000' in elevation where we had 15-30 MPH winds, and it did just fine. First we only staked it at the base, but once the rainflies went on, it was necessary to guy line out the walls because the force of the wind against the solid surface pushed in that pressure point (no big deal really, with that strong of wind, we should have done this anyway). No tears in the fabric under these conditions or broken poles, and the stakes did their job (more guy lines and stakes would be good to include though - I luckily had some extras with us to use).
Usage note: The way the flies go on requires you to pull the tent wall straps through the center of the fly (grommeted), and tie the guy line from there - if you set your guy lines without the fly on, you'll have to undo the lines to get the fly on, and then reset the lines. We put up all the flies and just dropped the unneeded flies down half way and tethered the loose ends to each other or to the bottom so they didn't flap around. This made for a nice half-wall effect all the way around when the walls weren't needed, and it allowed for super quick raising when they were needed.
Design flaw:
#1 The rain flies go on the outside of the tent walls, but they do not have a flap at the top that allows the rain to roll off the top and onto the OUTSIDE of the fly. This causes rain to roll down to the INSIDE of the shelter, though it does stay on the walls which is better than nothing, just be aware of this. The center tension point in the ceiling also drips into the tent (we used a kettle to catch the dripping water). The tent just needs a little "skirt" that would hang over the hooks and velcro for the fly, and a more sealed design at the top. The rain we experienced with the tent was light and mostly blowing from the side, so it wasn't really an issue. We had tested the tent at home with a hose and realized the poor design flaw there - CLAM should do the same (it'll take you 3 min, tops).
#2 This is a MONSTER to transport. It's 6' long, though fairly narrow around. Be prepared for this when you give a shipping address.
In action: We took it on a camping trip in Colorado to a site at about 9000' in elevation. We set it up, picked it up and walked it to set over the 6' picnic table that was at our campsite. We brought in our very large cooler, and small camp prep table, and we still had plenty of room for 4 kids and 4 adults to sit at the table and stand around talking. Because it was windy and chilly, we put on the rainflies on the prevailing wind side, which kept us warmer. We ended up putting the flies on all the way around (except the door), but dropped them down half way so we could more quickly raise them up when needed, which was necessary at dinner time. It turned the screen house into more of a yurt where we were happy and warm (especially compared to our campsite neighbors who were cooking and eating in the windy rain).
I would absolutely recommend this tent for anyone that doesn't believe in suffering while camping (or that doesn't like bugs, sun, wind, or rain). If CLAM would fix the rainfly issue and make it smaller to transport there wouldn't be anything wrong with this tent at all! LOVE IT!!!
But this shelter is a game changer. One person can pop it up in about a minute. Simple. And unlike those square pop up canopies, this one doesn't hold rain on the cover until it collapses. It just sheds the water. This is just a great, easy to use, stable shelter.
