Woods brand tents ok for casual use?

Anybody have an opinion on if Woods brand tents are good enough for casual camping in non-freezing environments?

Looking at a Woods Lookout 8 person…

For what it's worth, Woods announces that they are no longer shipping to the US.

Probably doesn't matter if you like the tent. I had an Eureka, bought 40 years ago, that served well for at least 30 years, and may still be going strong with my kids. It's not like you need a ton of repair parts for a tent.

I didn’t even realize it was a Canadian company. I just happened to run across what seems like a great deal on an 8 person tent and we’ve been wanting one. I went ahead and ordered it anyway, being only $60 it seemed like it was worth the risk.

I’m guessing it was a close out for the US based retailer as it is no longer listed on the website.
