Reviews on tents?

I just bought a Quest eagles peak 4 (9×9) dome tent for 59.99 from Dick’s sporting goods. They also had a coleman around that was a little bit bigger on sale for 79.99. Has anyone used either tents, and what is your opinion on which one is better? I really appreciate your help. It’s my first tent purchase and I dont want to be surprised when I go to use it. I dont want to ruin a nice weekend camping with a junky tent. Thanks…..Drew
This is for camping @ a campground in RI. Just for the weekend nothing heavy duty. Just for me and my girlfriend to get away from it all!

First of all a 9×9 is a huge tent for two people that like each other.Go to one of the smaller and better made Eureka tents and rather than have the disposable item you have now you can have tent that will give some service for a while

Regardless of what you will ultimatley buy , you will need to pitch at least 10 -15 times in your backyard in order to familairize yourself with how it all works
Take the time to have somebody hose it down while you’re inside of it and see where and if it leaks and and then either return the tent or solve the problem if it does leak
Good luck
