A lot of people complain about this, but I actually prefer it. Full double wall tents are awesome for being weatherproof, but IMO they're something you mostly care about for backpacking. For families (especially car campers) I think having partial flies results in easier setup and more air flow even in rain.
As an example, Camping Guidance on YouTube did a very extreme weather test of TNF Wawona 6 which has a partial fly that gets a lot of criticism, but not only did the tent survive the rain and wind, but it was 100% dry inside even when the yard flooded and had the base submerged completely. So unless you're camping in extremely heavy rains that blow upward due to 50mph winds I don't think you have to worry. And since this is a massive car camping tent, you'd probably be carrying a tarp you can throw over in those 1-in-100,000 weather events.

Anybody have experience using this? What's your thoughts on it?
I've got the same question. I'd probably wait for it to go back to $55 as the other poster suggested though.
I recently bought the Moosejaw tent deal but I'm thinking of returning that if this one is decent enough to wait for. I don't do camping but wanted something that was decent to camp in the backyard if our toddler was interested, and then maybe use it for actual camping at camp sites if he's interested in that. The Moosejaw one was priced at $99 and looked nice but now I'm thinking might have been too much to spend.

Haven't used this brand but I have always went for tents with a floor that comes several inches up. This one lays flat and they always seem to leak in any amount of rain and even morning dew
Slumberjack is a good brand for a lot of things, but unfortunately this tent and most others from them are just white label chinese tents. Not to say they can't be OK, especially for the price, but just know they aren't going to compete with more expensive tents. As an example, Slumberjack sells a Wawona 6 knockoff (previous gen of Wawona, which is an excellent tent), but they use cheaper materials, cheaper construction, and fiberglass poles. I think this is a knockoff of the Wawona 8 or 10. So you know the design is good, but without the corresponding materials the design may fall flat. I decided against the $90 Wawona 6 knockoff and went with an actual $350 Wawona 6 and I can say it's worth the money.
IMO you should stick to Slumberjack awnings and tarps only.

Seems every large tent has the same flaw in that the fly doesn't cover or extend over the windows. That makes rain funnel into the tent.

I did watch that, and was astonished (maybe a bit of skeptical disbelief) in the results or the testing methodology.
A window that is closed with a zipper isn't going to be waterproof though, unless a waterproof zipper is used.
I've got a 10 person Coleman that not only funneled rain into it, but had a "bathtub" floor that kept every bit of it, causing a half inch of water to accumulate. Fortunately air mattresses keep you out of the tent-turned-pool.
I did buy the Ozark Trail 10 person insta-tent from the last FP deal, but it looks like it would flood for sure. There was a Moosejaw 8-person with full fly and vestibule that looked up to the task, but then it wasn't tall enough for us to stand up in.

Once I owned my first "sun blocking" tent, it'll be a feature I look for in all future purchases. I am light sensitive when I try to sleep and a sun blocking fabric is a game changer for getting a restful nights sleep. If it matters, it matters. Happy camping!

IE: this tent would be good for 4-5..

Vs an actual Wawona 6: https://www.rei.com/product/20431...ona-6-tent
(Note the Slumberjack is a knockoff of the 2020 Wawona 6, not the newer one)
