Top value for money! It's light for the space it offers. And there's plenty of space. The climate in the Lavvu is much better than in the tents we've had since then. We've been travelling with the tent for over 30 years and we've never had so much comfort. Transporting it in the car is no problem at all. If you're travelling with a backpack, you can easily split it up between several people. The mosquito nets are integrated into the outer tent, so you can seal it off well, even if you're travelling without an inner tent in the summer. Our dogs think it's great too, they're happy as soon as they notice that it's starting. It can be "operated" without having to get out of the sleeping bag. We thought about it for a long time - and we're really completely satisfied.

Only had time to use it for 3 days so far. So these are my first impressions.
Good quality of material, well made.
Easy to set up. Goes quickly if the inner tent is already in place. (takes 5 minutes)
Really pleased.
The only negative I have found so far is that the floor opens and closes with velcro. It is a bit cumbersome to close the floor if you want to make it perfect. Velcro also collects debris that gets stuck.
All in all, a really good tent.

Decent winter tent, copious amounts of guys and pegs. Good build quality. No chance of 6 people in there. Pretty full with 4 and bags.

Excellent fabric, excellent fit and finish. So far I've used it on multiple nights in the mountains of Washington State USA in January with temperatures falling down to -4F/-20C and it kept me perfectly warm while using the Lavvu stove and a good winter sleeping pad and sleeping bag. Be sure to keep the stove fed and you should have no problem. The included inner-tent/floor combo worked flawlessly; no moisture from the snow came up through the floor you can feel the difference in warmth when using the inner tent. I just wish they were not permanently sewn together so you could use one or the other; but you must use them both at the same time. Also, I've never seen a tent with more guy lines to tie it down to the ground. It could probably withstand the largest wind gusts imaginable and still not fly away.

Great tent. Current version tent pole has been greatly improved over the old classic poles. However, the rod can no longer be plugged into one another for storage, so that you only have a short rod.
Service from Varuste very good. Of course no overnight shipping since Helsinki, but delivery time completely OK.

I received within a very reasonable time. The package was well protected and therefore no damage noted. The assembly of the tent is relatively simple. However, a notice (guidelines / instruction) for the inner tent would be necessary. It really is missing. I have not tried it yet because I am waiting for the delivery of the wood stove.

Tent seemed well made, zippers and materials all look to be good quality. Took a minute to figure out all the attachment points from the inner tent to the outer tent but it works well once you see where everything goes.

Surprisingly quick to pile alone in good weather. The fabrics let in light well and the ventilation works well. The base fabric should be a degree more solid, with branches, cones, etc. care should be taken not to make holes and with damp mats moisture will seep in on fairly light bases. Especially with a fireplace, sizing for 6-8 people is time to the top. For four adults still quite luxurious. With Kamina, the number one tent for long-term stays all year round.

Have just test-set it up. The only thing missing is that the zippers in the entrances should have been bidirectional because as it is now you get a gap if you want to put a stove pipe through one of the door openings (must be pulled through the top cap instead, with requirements for longer chimney as folks)
Otherwise good and solid tent.
