One of the awesome things about cabin tents is, that the sides are near vertical creating a larger interior, this makes for plenty of headroom at the sides of the tent, making it feel much larger than a dome tent, most of the time, they tend to have large floor areas, so they are great for larger groups. Normally cabin tents will be used by families going on a camping trip in a car or a truck as they are quite heavy when compared to dome tents. It dose though make them well suited to cooler nights. Lot’s of cabin tents have more than just one room to stay in, just like the Cedar Ridge Ironwood two-room tent

CONS

1. Susceptible to wind. Because of its size and shape, the Ironwood may not do well in strong winds if it is not firmly secured with the provided guy lines and stakes. Even though the tent is listed as freestanding in all but very calm conditions, one would need to stake and tie it down correctly.
2. No Vestibules. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the elements, you must store them inside the tent.
3. Rainfly does not totally cover the tent body. The rainfly only covers the ceiling and part of the tent body from the top. Meaning it may not protect against heavy downpours.
4. Fiberglass poles. Poles made of fiberglass help to keep the price down, they do though tend to be not as strong. This is yet another reason to only use the Ironwood in calm weather.
5. Poor Heat Retention. The general construction of the Cedar Ridge's Ironwoods interior is designed to easily let air in and out. Therefore, it cannot keep heat inside, making it unsuitable for use in cold weather.
6. Heavy. Even though heavy is not in it self a negative, it is worth noting that the Ironwood 8, weighs 30 pounds and has a packed size of 10.5 x 27.5 inches. evidently it is designed for camping with a vehicle and would not be super simple to set up on your own.
7. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one sold separately designed for the Ironwood 8 footprint Even though the floor may be made of PE tub-style, it is still better to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
