Not sure about the quality but an excellent price for a cheap camp out. Appears to be a new line at everyday price. Pic won't upload on WP8!
According to the website it's $29… and it's leaky…

Hence the price reduction :)
Can you trust one bad review?
If it crap, then just return it.
So you're saying I should spend a round-trip of $10 in fuel to find out if a $12 tent is crap?
Sounds reasonable.
Anyhow, if there's a price reduction, why isn't it marked as such on the website?
That looks like a different tent. Picked mine up in store (Southland, Vic) and it scanned at $12. As for leaking - well would not surprise me. It has a hanky sized bit of plastic to cover the top air vent, and being so small there is no way you could avoid touching the sides unless you usually live with a really pale chick and 6 other guys. Or you're a small child. So consider this a disposable single-use tent, or an emergency job… or as in my case, something for the kids to play with inside the house.
Not only is the vent-cover hanky sized, it's also on the inside - any sort of rain will go right though the mesh and down the inside walls.
However, it's small, lightweight, compact and for $12 can't go wrong.
I got one to keep in the car and next time I go camping will be ideal for storing all kinds of things that I don't want to sleep next to.
I have a sun shelter with same sort of vents. I assumed water would get in but it actually doesn't. One of mine is broken so the cover is loose and still doesn't leak.
that's a pretty cool nickname for a store rep
prob just a Woolies group employee disclosing his "vested interest" :)
Awww, chucks guys. blushes. You nailed it :P
Cheaper than to buy replacement poles
Bought one the other day for the kids to play with over the school holidays. It is of course small…. but quality wise I'd say it's worth at least $15. ;-)
