We've had this tent for almost 10 years now, use it once or twice a year, and for $25 I would recommend it. First year we had it there were multiple days of downpour and the only issue we had was where I made a mistake setting up the tarp so the water was able to get between it and the floor of the tent, not the tent's fault. Just be aware that when they say two person tent they mean two people and that's it in the tent, there's no room additional bags or anything unless you want to snuggle with them. I'm sure the frequent campers would go for something better, but for the occasional drive in solo/couple/family with multiple tents trip it's worked well for us.

Question will it's not leak water once it rains?
For typical rain conditions, you can keep water out as long as you set up everything properly. The rainfly is separate from the main assembly. As long as you have it covering the tent AND pulled taut to ensure that water runoff does not drip onto the tent, you will be fine.
We've made the mistake of getting lazy with the rainfly. And when it unexpectedly rained overnight, some sides of the tent were getting soaked because the water was dripping off the rainfly directly onto the tent.
I've had a Coleman 4 person tent for over 10 years. It's not a good backpacking tent but fine for car camping. It's held up very well and I would recommend it especially for this price.
This could actually sleep 2 people fairly comfortably. It's almost exactly the dimensions of a queen-size airbed. Usually, a tent is sold with an occupancy rating that assumes people are being packed in like sardines.
I've had one of these for like 15 years and it's still going strong. I honesty want to upgrade, but there's no reason. After 10 years of use (maybe 5 camping trips a year) it developed a hole along one of the seams. I just put duct tape on both sides, and it's still fine.
Excellent tent. As others have mentioned, it's good for car camping, but too big and heavy for backpacking. It stays completely dry on the inside with the rainfly/ sunfly up and no other treatment, has good ventilation and lets in ample light due to the white panels. I've fit a queen size blow up mattress with about a 4-6 inch gap on one side left over. The tent goes up very quickly, and the poles have lasted for years (even though the elastic holding them together loses its flexibility within 1-2 years). The bottom is tarp material, but I use another tarp underneath as protection for the tent and myself.
I have had a version of this tent for many years always kept me dry and gave me sufficient privacy. It's heavy ish and a pain to put back in the zipper case but is a good tent.
