General comments: Beautiful design. Unique look. Ingenious to use. Bit of a pain to pitch. When you first see one of these at night, filled with people and lit from within, you feel like you're missing the party. Once you see this thing, you will find it irresistable. It looks like no other tent I've seen but is vaguely reminiscent of some kind of ancient nomad's dwelling. Practically it is excellent. After your first pitching you will find lots of neat design features like the hang down tent-tidy which sounds naff but is actually pretty useful. We use it for two people and tons of storage. We tend to camp with several other people so this is primarily used as the party-tent. With its ample "social" area big enough to cook in and seat up to 7 around a pretty big table. The only downside is a lengthy and complicated assembly. I'd say even with practise, it will take 3 people well over 30 minuits to pitch and double that if there is a slight breeze. If you're staying put for a while, I can't reccomend this enough.
Pros: Spacious, well designed, excellent party-tent.
Cons: complicated and time consuming to pitch

Phil Withers responded : I agree it is hard to pitch and the instructions leave a lot to the imagination especially relating to which tension straps to adjust first i.e. the grey ones or the orange ones. Vaude also dont supply the footprint as standard it is an add on, in addition its difficult to know if the Groundsheet protector is a different product to the footprint or one in the same. However all that being said it is a superb tent. (2007-05-14)

General comments: The reason for getting a new tent was the need (desire) to stand up inside and cope with cooking even if it rained, the desire for the Vaude Badawi tent was that it looked so good!
Despite reviews warning that it was hard to put up we found it tricky on the first attempt but on the second attempt 2 of us got it up in less than half an hour (teamwork helps). I agree that the instructions could be more helpful and i have cheated by using more tent pegs than supplied. I suspect we don't need to use extra pegs, it's just that i found it more reassuring to do so.
Pros: Space, ventilation, lots of light for as long as possible due to the pale colour of the fabric.
Cons: Slippery ground sheet
