I have the Coleman Dome 6 (two of them) and a Core 9P, both have been great. Just left Bennett Springs in Missouri in our Coleman 6P and stayed dry the whole weekend.

Lost my Coleman darkroom 6 person tent a few years ago to a heavy snow storm, replaced with their regular 6 person dome from Costco on sale and I miss the darkroom tent so much. Best car camping tent I’ve ever used.
Tho I’ve moved on to other tents for lighter weight camping, my Coleman 6p dome tent is still standing 9 years later after 40+ nights. The tarp basin floor always kept us dry in heavy rainfall
I like the Coleman 6 man dome tents. I use them for my Girl Scout troop. They have a 10x10 foot print which works with just about every campground. They pitch easily (I have children pitching them). They fit two queen air mattresses if that’s how you want to go. You can also fit four cots or (my favorite, you can arrange 3 cots in a U and have plenty of room in the middle to stand and get dressed. Tall enough to stand in. They pack down into something reasonably sized. They’re cost effective. I buy them second hand from people who went camping once and decided they didn’t like it and I end up paying about $50 each. I have 9 of them now.
I love the Coleman 6 person dome tents. I use them for my Girl Scout troop. If you want to use them in colder temps, I recommend the Darkroom over the Sundome. The rainfly goes lower and provides more insulation.
coleman 6 person dome tent. 6' in the center. 4 poles. easy peazy https://preview.redd.it/cgsa2szz287g1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=942dd35996873b523a36c83c56faccb2eeb3d258
i THINK it was a sundome - was purchased in 2021
That tent is a coleman montana 8 person. I have had 2 of them,.they are very sturdy when all the guy lines are used. It does well in the rain... the fly covers the 2 side windows very well. my only complaint would be the windows are high so there is not much air flow low down. I always bring a small fan so not an issue. The coleman 6 person is what I used last. It was fine after I my dog passed and it was just me. I like to have enough room to stand, and bring a chair and small table inside incase it rains. This one is 10x10' and 6' tall. https://preview.redd.it/vna1vl7a5krf1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0c7cb984cda2696f6a6e11b307ce64be9bd89425
I have a 6 person coleman dome tent for myself. It would absolutely work for 2 people. I like my space, and if it rains I can fit my xl zero gravity chair in it and not disrupt my set up. I, personally, wouldn't go smaller than a 6 person for 2 people.
We have a Coleman tent and love it! It’s not a cabin tent though, it’s the 6 person dome tent (I think). It’s spacious enough for the two of us and our belongings (we keep our kiddos bags with us too) and it keeps us dry. Our kiddos had a Kazoo tent and it leaked from the bottom. We didn’t have that issue with the Coleman so we bought another Coleman for the kids.
As a single adult scout leader I run a 4 person instant Coleman tent. I sleep on my own 95% of the time. In a pinch I could provide room for another leader. I have a 6-person but it’s way too big for me by myself. Before the Coleman I had a 4 person malamoo mega that I really liked.
