How much use have you gotten out of it?  

How would you rank it as a (roomy!) one-person tent?

When entering during a downpour, does the interior of the tent stay dry?

How do you like the layout of the vestibule??

Finally, they make much of the tension shelf -- is it useful or just a gimmick?

Thanks.
