I have a sundome 6 person that is many years old. Bought it lightly used quite a while ago, honestly dont exactly know how old it is. Probably approaching a decade if not more. I have refreshed the waterproofing a few times, and always put a tarp down to avoid ripping the bottom. My only gripe is that the white fabric of the sides has gotten stained in a few spots.
Find a used Coleman Sundome 6 person. I know thats probably excessive for two people, but it is really nice to have for space, and the ability to stand fully upright inside.
Coleman sundome 6 person is a good size for a roomy 2 person setup. Plenty of room to sleep, and if its rainy, theres space for some chairs to play cards or other games.
I have a Coleman Sundome 4-person dome tent that I can set up and take down in about 5-7min. Is it fancy? No. Was it cheap? Yes! I bought it for $50 in 2022 and it has held up nicely over several trips.
It depends, you know?
I have three tents that were each $400+, one is a two person backpacking tent that weighs like 2.5lbs, one is a 3 person backpacking tent for canoe trips, and one is a 4 person snow tent for the winter.
I **also** have a $60 Coleman sundown that I got on Amazon like 8 years ago and it's my favorite "Im going car camping this weekend" beater tent.
"Oh shit that tree branch is kinda rubbing on the tent, do you think it'll tear?"
"Dude this thing was $60 and built like a tank who gives a shit"
You're probably buying the perfect tent for what it's made for.
How old are the kids? If they’re old enough to trust a little bit, I recommend a second tent. We’ve been camping since before my kids could walk, and they got their own tent when they were 6. It’s a game changer. We put a bell on the zipper so we would hear them if they left their tent. We have the same member’s mark from Sam’s that was described above for just the wife and I. The boys started in a little tent when they were six, but they graduated to our old Coleman Sun Dome when they were 8. So, now we have a 10 person and a 6 person for 4 people. I’m not mad about it. 🤣

Spacious vestibule, strong in storms, but rainfly tricky solo.
