I was looking for something small and just didn't have room for anything bigger. You can get bigger and better off ebay and Amazon, but this was about the smallest I came across. Total price was $80 ($22 shipping UPS). Shipping was very fast, the same day I ordered.

Pros - Easy to assemble, I was finished in less than 30 minutes from the time I opened the box. It uses metal support rods and it's actually a pretty solid little tent, especially for the price. The canvas covering is fairly thick and doesn't look like it'll tear easily. Haven't counted, but there's a goodly number of vents and openings to run power cords and ductwork, etc. It's lightweight and easy to move around.

Cons - light leakage. In a completely dark room light leaks from 3 air vents around the bottom, and it doesn't even look like it was designed to avoid total leakage on those particular vents. The vents aren't wide open by any means, there are flaps over the vents, but the flaps aren't large enough to totally cover the vents. There are flaps over zippers, drawstrings over other openings, etc, so most of the openings are ok, those 3 vents however do leak. Where some of the seams are sewed there's very minor pinpoint type leakage that's actually coming from the holes made by the thread and needle.

A good buy IMO if you need a very small tent or grow box, don't need total light control and don't want to spend a lot of money, otherwise you'll need to look elsewhere.
 
Thanks for the review. It would make a nice auto tent, or veg tent for photos.
