I bought this tent from Costco for about $120 a while ago.
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.
Glamping is in a cabin with electricity. You may even have a TV and air conditioning, but bare minimum you have outlets.
I can just picture someone accidentally hitting the middle pole and the whole thing collapses…

Have you soaked this or have the chance to test it in any rain? I was looking at this awhile back and the cold season is approaching.
Using it for... everything. I don't really know what I want yet. So digging around see what's the best bang for the bux for my 1st one and cover most of what I think I want.
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?
Cheaper tents cheap out with smaller rain flys. You really need to re-apply waterproofing every year and it's generally a good idea to tape the seams as well. If all you'll do is fair weather camp in the back yard it's not that big a deal. If you're traveling quite a ways and staying put regardless of the weather you might want something more rugged. So backyard camping capable and camping ready aren't necessarily the same thing. But in the cheaper tents, Coleman and Ozark Trail aren't too shabby for the money spent when you can find a deal.
NTK makes a quality tent that's not terribly expensive. Not so fancy where it doesn't matter, but really well made where it does. Mine has been through more than a few severe thunderstorms and days of rain at a time without falling apart or leaking. Several times my camp site has been at the bottom of a hill with a good amount of runoff and the inside still stayed dry. And I still haven't needed to waterproof it at all. A friend I often camp with is applying spray to their OT tent every trip or two trying to stay on top of things.
As for sizing, double the number of people in the tent and that's the size you want. A family of 4 would be more comfortable in an 8 person tent than a 4 or 6.
If you have enough space to haul a 2nd tent, you could always get a cheaper one for the backyard and beginning camping close to home. But it's generally cheapest to buy once if you can make that work for you.
It's crazy how many camping and outdoor deals there have been this year. Grills, etc. You can really tell that the companies either ordered too much as if people's COVID habits were going to continue, or these products took so long to get here because of the supply chain problems that they got here after those COVID habits changed.
Either way, I have never gotten so much stuff for cheap this year outdoors-related. While at the same time everything else is increasing in price. So weird.

If you have kids that are a little bit older doing two tents can be a superior solution to doing one massive tent as well. Everybody gets more privacy, and it can be easier to find appropriate sites for two smaller tents vs. one larger tent.
Your rule about halving the rated occupancy is spot on. You can fit six people in a six person tent, if you like role playing as a sardine. I'd add that's a minimum. Although you can probably get away as counting two small children as one adult. Personally my girlfriend and I like a 8-10 person tent for the two of us (and our dog). We like plenty of room to lounge and play games or whatever when the weather is bad.

My wife watches TV in our tent. No cabin or electrical outlets. I even made a 12V air conditioner that circulates ice water thru a coil.
I consider glamping to be camping with most of the luxuries of home. There are other ways of providing power to make that happen besides plugging something into a readily available wall outlet.

I picked this up from Sam's club two weeks ago and used it this past weekend. It dumped on us but the tent did a great job and nothing leaked. It is a huge tent and we had two queen size blow up mattresses in it and it still had room.
Just an FYI if you're considering taking a shot on this. The return policy on Woots website is as follows:
"What is Woot's return policy?
You may return most purchases within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. If the item being returned is not damaged or defective, **we'll deduct the prepaid cost of return shipping from the refund.** Once the item is received by Woot!, the refund will be applied."
So there is an unspecified shipping cost that will be non refundable if this tent isn't to your liking FYI

Can you tell me more about the lag bolts? I need to upgrade my stake game and was wondering what would make the most sense.

Excellent info and what I was wanting to know. I have a nephew and his girl friend visiting along with her girl friend and I'm out of room at my house (daughter, husband, and kids) all coming at the same time. Nephew said they were fine with tent camping in back yard so it will save them serious hotel money. I always put down a tarp so wondering if you did the same? This price is great so fingers crossed it arrives in good time.

No. But this tent is pole dancing ready. So it definitely is for glamping.
