First of all, this tent is MASSIVE. It's bigger than your typical 8 person tent, so to call it a 6 person tent is an understatement.
It also went up much faster than expected - there's a door frame, and the central tent pole, and that's it for the tent itself. Now I admit there's a lot of staking to do - you stake down the tent itself, plus thr guy wires off to the side. This is a requirement as it pulls out the sides of the tent via tension, so your footprint will be fairly bigger than the 12.5 x, 12.5 listed. Once assembled, though, the thing is surprisingly sturdy, and this design is supposed to be good for high winds.
The material is surprisingly great for the price. You get a sturdy frame, thick canvas bag, and the material feels like fairly good tarp.
All in all, if you're bringing a big family, and you're camping on relatively soft ground (or you're willing to invest in a lot of lag bolts for hard ground), I really like it. One tent can go up in less than 10 minutes, and it fits the entire camp group.

For some it's anything more luxurious than what you could carry on a backpacking trip. For others it would require indoor plumbing and electricity. Personally we camp in an $800 10x14 Kodiak Flexbow VX canvas tent, with Teton Outfitters cots and pads with bedding which rival our home bed. Depending on our needs on any trip we've got a gas heater, portable griddles/grills/stoves, a canopy, a toilet and/or shower tent, an inflatable couch and lounge chair, hammock stands and hammock chairs, a french press, remote controlled lighting, a generator and various power storage devices, tables... We even have a projector and various portable screens if we want to do a movie night. We certainly consider it glamping, even when we're travelling "light".
These bell tents are trendy at the moment, and lend themselves to instagram photos. If you do a Google image search for glamping you'll come up with a million of them. Not that they're bad tents, but personally I feel there are better options even if they don't have as much social media cred.

My glamping is to turn on the TV and watch people camping or just listen to the sound of the river.

My glamping is to turn on the TV and watch people camping or just listen to the sound of the river. https://static.slickdealscdn.com/ima...s/emot-LOL.gif It's cheap, it's practical. I don't need to get out of my lazy ass sofa. The glamping end the second I switch to something else on the TV or just turn it off.
Can you share your favorite and especially why it is your favorite? I don't care for the "social media cred". Just something more practical.
But for somebody else it might be far too heavy (it's about 100 pounds split between two bags), or too large, or cheaper, or an instant tent that's even easier to set up.
If you can give me an idea what your budget and preferences (size, weather, experience with setting tents up, etc I might be able to recommend something geared towards you.
I can't think of many instances where this tent would be the ideal configuration though. Maybe a traditional cotton bell tent with a stove jack designed to be a four season tent and suited for cold weather, but that's not this tent. With a similar footprint you could get a tent with more headroom, more usable space, that will be quicker to stake out, and without a pole running through the middle of the tent. The only advantage I can really think of here is it's probably going to do better in the wind that a traditional cabin tent.
And the price of course. Definitely a solid price. Mind you none of the things above are necessarily deal breakers; I'm sure many people would have great fun with this tent. I just think the popularity of this design for glamping is driven more by the cute and romance factor (not that there's anything wrong with that) more than practicality.
Something oriented toward family. I'm thinking getting something decent for camping in the back yard and real camping ready too. Am I asking too much for going as big as possible for 2nd as sun room for the kids to play in?
The smaller a tent is the easier it is to find a spot. We've found as long as we don't go above about 14' it doesn't become a huge issue.
Being as you don't know what you want (and presumably if it's something you'll do a lot) I wouldn't recommend spending a lot, but bigger can certainly be nice; especially if you're going to have to spend any time actually in the tent during the day (bugs, weather, etc). Depending on the age of your kids you might consider a two room cabin tent. Look for easy or instant setup tents--you can usually find a video online that shows you what is required.
At lower cost you're not going to get something that will endure weather extremes, but that's OK. Plan your trip around decent weather and have a backup plan. Use a ground cover below the tent (slightly smaller than the tent and not sticking out) to protect from water below. I'd recommend a silicone based water-guard spray and perhaps seam sealer to protect the inside. It should be reapplied about once a year. Properly stake out the tent. The stakes that generally come with cheap tents are garbage--invest in something better. That should give you decent protection from rain even in a halfway decent cheap tent.
And you'll probably discover that what you buy is too big or too small or needs to do better in wind or whatever. That's OK, it's part of the learning process, and why I wouldn't spend a ton right off the bat.
My favorite tent people show up with this type of tent at 2am and start pounding the required 10 stakes into the ground.
Me? I glamp in my Tesla ;-)
