Recently used this for 3 months of car camping across Canada. Overall, I was happy with my choice in tents. No durability problems at all. With the clip system it sets up in no time. It is plenty long enough. I'm 6'3" and there was still room to spare. It stays pretty solid in strong winds as long you use all of the guy line points.
This tent would have probably have been perfect for two people backpacking yet too congested for three. As it was, just me and my dog used it. On the liability side, the 3-pole design caused the rain to sometimes collect in a puddle on the top of the rainfly. It wasn't a major problem and the water would run off if you jostled the tent, but still it is something to be aware of.
