Absolutely love this tent! We used pallets and cedar wood to make a level area for it then also made a deck in front of it! We fit a bunk bed in it for my husband and I and so our daughter can sleep in there with us! We have a smaller fireplace for it and it works for the summer but during the winter we will need a bigger fireplace so we don_ have to wake every 2 hours to stoke it! Overall this is a great tent and easy to set up!!
