Unnecessary but enthusiastic 4th on them. I have an Alps Koda 1 that's been my backpacking tent for years. It's dead simple to set up and totally bombproof.
Seconding Alps Mountaineering. My 1-person Koda tent from them cost about $100 and is incredibly sturdy, easy, and unbothered by wind and rain. Obviously someone living in it needs a bigger model than 1p, but I would expect the 4-person version to also be correspondingly cheap and awesome.
I got a one person Alps mountaineering tent from Amazon about ten years ago for $80. One of my best all time purchases. Its not the lightest, but its durable, easy to set up, and packs down nicely. I still use it regularly and I literally work for Backcountry with amazing pro deals on top gear.
Just here to say ALPS doesn’t get a lot of love because they aren’t one of the major brands but I have a 1 person from them and it’s been amazing. Great bang for your buck especially if weight isn’t an issue.
