Does it come with a foot print/tarp?
Do they sell one that is for it?
How does it do in rain, wind, condensation?
How are the zippers after use with kids..in/out...up/down multiple times?
How easy does the manufacturer make it to fix problems, repair poles/rods/rips/tears/zippers/clips? How good is the lifetime warranty?
Does it come in a bag that is easy to carry? Several bags?
What is the sleeping pattern?
Never heard of manufacturer, what kind of reputation does Marmot have?

I'm not sure if I can get all of these, but I'll give it a shot. - It does not come with a footprint, but there is one for it on this site, item #MAR1110. Just put that in the search bar and hit enter. - It will do an excellent job in rain, wind (up to probably 35-40 if you guy it out), and condensation. - The zippers are very durable and will last a long time, but the fastest killers of zipper are sand (usually not a problem) and stepping on them. Make it very very clear that no one can step on the zippers, teeth or sliders, ever. - Marmot's warranty is quite good, and can be seen here: http://www.marmot.com/node/343 - It comes in one bag, a cylinder 25 inches long and 14 across and 19 pounds, so you can judged for yourself whether that's easy to carry. - The sleeping pattern for big square tents like this is usually two people across at the head and feet, and four people side by side in the middle. - I'm quite surprised that you haven't heard of Marmot, they have a fantastic reputation for jackets, tents, and other soft goods. Besides, if anything goes wrong with the tent, whether Marmot covers it or not, you can always return it to Backcountry for a full refund. Any time, any condition. That's why Backcountry has 73,000 registered customers.
