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…

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.
Drive them with an impact wrench. I recommend a spare battery charged and a speed wrench or other non-powered way of removing the stakes. If you want more information there's like a 100 page Burning Man forum thread on them.
I stayed in one of these recently while "glamping" at a formula 1 event. They are great. Huge space, lots of headroom, I stayed with my cousin who is 6'6 and he had no issues with the height. We didn't have to set it up, which I imagine is a pain in the butt, but if you are looking for a temporary permanent style tent for something, this is probably a go. Would recommend.
EDIT: the one we stayed in was much bigger than this. sorry.
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.
I also used it on last weekend, but it was good weather.
Did you test on rainy day? I am so curious on rainy days.
My younger son love this tent because of the size and beauty. It's quite unique style and easy to pitch. Recommend to get 3lb+ hammer. It will make super easy to pack 20 stakes
Went "glamping" at Under Canvas at the Grand Canyon and while this tent looks nice, it is not truly up to that style of glamping. I'd jump on this if it had a wood burning stove/chimney hole. Otherwise, you are running into not being able to use this with the upcoming change of weather.
GC in late Sept got pretty chilly at night and definitely needed the extra heat.
Just set this up in my backyard and it's huge and decent quality (similar to Ozark Trail) but it's got a small damaged spot about the size of a quarter on the tarp flooring.
Anyone have any ideas on what to do about this? The floor doesn't come off so I can't ask for a replacement and I don't know what the Woot replacement policy is. Is a tarp floor something that can be repaired easily?

I also carry a few 12" lag bolts and some 12" stakes just in case.
Pair them with washers like so.

Said with such confidence.
Knowledge no longer required to be an expert.
I believe what you describe is called "staying in a cabin".
If fancier than a normal cabin maybe it could be called glabin
