I bought this tent in 1999. Used heavily for about 5 years before we had kids. Then had to buy bigger tents since our family grew. Bought 3 or 4 mostly Coleman that lasted 2 to 3 years on average. Now kids grew and have their own tent so remembered I still had this old tent in the basement. Took it out and set it up in no time. Everything looked like I just bought it yesterday -material looked new, strong and shiny. Tubes and elastic connectors - pristine. Plastic connectors and pegs - not a spot or crack. Everything even smelled new. I have no words to describe my surprise that all held so well after so much time has passed. Then I found the warrant card. It simply stated: Made in U.S.A. Lifetime warranty on materials. I guess that sums it all up.
