Great tent but on the heavier side

I haven't tested the tent in the field yet. Just set it up on the beach and see how it's like. It's really easy to set up, very light and solid poles, vestibule has decent room for a cooler and 2 packs. I don't think there's any problem if I need to cook under it. Quite a few mesh pockets inside the tent, and an "attic" pocket with plenty of room for small stuff. Overall a decent quality tent.
The floor space is quite a squeeze for 3 though. For 2 it's comfy. And my gf and I are small, both around 5'7. I'm under 150 pds. I can't imagine to put another person in the tent unless it's a kid. Also the weight is over 7 pds when fully packed. It's ok for 2 to share the load.
Also it seemed to me that there's at least 1 guyline missing from the package. The anchor on the rain fly indicates more guylines.

Oh, another thing, the floor is NOT a bathtub design, even though I asked one of BC online reps and was told it is. The floor has seams around the bottom. My guess is that at some point I'll have to re-apply some glues to ensure the waterproofness.
