One of the awesome One of the sweet things about cabin tents is, that the walls of the tent are near vertical creating a larger interior, this makes for plenty of headroom at the sides of the tent, making it feel much bigger than other types of tents, most of the time, they tend to have large floor areas, so they are great for larger groups.

PROS

1. Tons of space. With a center height of 92 inches (more than 6 feet) and a floor area of 69 square feet, the Dark Timber gives you a lot of space. Most adults can stand inside the tent without ducking their heads.
2. Lots of Headroom. With 31% more headroom than similar-sized tents, one can easily count this as a plus.
3. Internal storage. It is nice to see Nemo Equipment has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your gear.
4. More than one door. With 2 doors, it is easier to get in and out of the tent, in the middle of the night if needed.
5. Durable, water-resistant floor. The floor material is 150D PU Polyester Ripstop, which is a substantially thick and high-strength fabric. Meaning the base is not prone to rips and punctures. Also, the material has a 3000 mm waterproofing rating, which is pretty good for most circumstances.

CONS

1. No Vestibules. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the elements, you will have to keep them inside the tent.
2. Rainfly does not wholly 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.
3. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of 150D PU Polyester Ripstop but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, more so on rough terrain.
4. Discontinued: Unfortunately this particular tent has been discontinued on the manufactures website and is not available elsewhere, that we know of.
5. A little heavy for backpacking. Even though the Dark Timber 4, looks like a small tent, it is not probably the best choice for backpacking as it weighs 17 pounds. This is quite a lot more than many other backpacking tents
