I've owned this for many years, and I LOVE it!
I bought this tent many years ago, and am still happily using it. It's absolutely waterproof, which is important in Wisconsin's summer storms. It sets up very quickly, and is easily secured with aluminum stakes. I recently weathered a severe thunderstorm in this tent, sitting warm and dry inside it as a fierce storm raged for several hours.
Love the rain fly, which helps channel rain water away from the tent.
Best. Tent. Ever.

Rain fly disintegrated
The tent itself held up well but the rain fly essentially disintegrated after several uses this Summer. I had this model previously and it held up great so maybe it’s a defect.

Perfect, easy tent for a solo camper!
My very first tent - easy to set up, perfect size for a solo camper + gear. Packing is easy, too. The matching footprint is a no-brainer. Love the skylight and the option to uncover the window and door while the screen keeps bugs out. Tons of air flow. Haven't had the chance to put it to the test in inclement weather yet, but what I gather from the materials and construction leads me to believe that it will perform well.

Nah.
Low quality product. I sent it back just like I have a number of items I’ve bought from LL Bean in the last few years.
Disappointing.

LL Bean 2P dome Tent
I am in the process of rehabbing my vintage 1985 tent, sealing seams, water proofing floor and fly. This tent is fantastic and has never let me down. Sets up in minutes. Take care of it and it will take care of you!

Functional but short-lived
I got this tent on clearance in the swim-team-inspired color scheme of Crisp Lapis Prism. One might suspect such a bold color scheme reduces theft risk.
The tent itself has a basic, tried-and-true setup, and decently functional. Though it only has one door, it has a mesh window opposite, and plenty of mesh under the fly, so it breathes well. The floor is a basic, roomy rectangle, so very practical. Lacks a vestibule, however, so your gear either comes in with you or stays outside. Easy to set up. I replaced the fiberglass poles that came with it with a special order for Easton poles via Quest Outfitters. This shaved 1.6 lbs off the tent weight, and may have strengthened it as well. I had it at Mt Mitchell (highest US peak east of the Mississippi River) in October and, with the additional guylines and use of velcro pole attachments under the fly, it held strong under gusts between 30-35 mph.
However, while there I noticed the seam tape around the door zipper (interior side) was turning white and starting to peel off. My understanding of PU (TPU) coatings is that once this starts, you can't really fix it, and it's an inevitable slide into waterproofing failure, flaking off sealant and/or sticky seam tape, and terrible smells.
This tent is less than 3 years old! IDK how long it sat unsold, but the longevity is disappointing to say the least. My last Bean tent, a Microlight 2, also had this problem, before it was 4 years old. I have always stored my tents in an HVAC-climate-controlled house (not attic or garage or basement). For those conditions I view the longevity as well below average. 3 stars off for that. I remove no stars for what it never meant to have, like a vestibule, or a subtle, nature-friendly color pattern. But poor longevity is a major disappointment.

Easy set up
I really enjoy how easy this tent is to set up and take down with the exposed poles. Assuming you fold it correctly, it fits with ease into the bag. The 2 person is very small, so if you want any room for bags/supplies, I would use this as a 1 person. However, if you are doing a couple night backwoods trip, this is perfect.

Nice tent except in the wind
I liked this tent a lot. It was easy to set up, spacious for one person, and well made.
However, it didn't withstand high winds. The upwind end of the tent collapsed and the back end poles bent too much.
I returned the tent.
This would be a great tent if you don't have to worry about high winds.
