I'd owned a tent before years ago but had to discard it due to too many connectors breaking.  It was a hideous grey/green like in the picture.  The new tent is a light tan which is much more pleasing.  It's tough to put together, which hasn't changed, because the tent is so tight on the rods.  My only real problem is that the fabric is definately thinner (read cheaper) than it used to be.  I stuck my hand in the hole for the cord and barely put any pressure on the edge and it started a rip.  I just hope my cats don't notice it and make it worse.
