That $85 'backpacker special' tent from Amazon lasted 2 nights

Bought it for a 5 day trip on the Appalachian Trail in Virginia and the seam tape started peeling on day 2. Woke up in a puddle after a light rain. Anyone else get burned by those cheap Amazon tents?

Oh man, I heard this is super common with those ultra cheap tents. The adhesive they use just doesn't hold up to humidity. Live and learn I guess.

Wait, even the zippers? That's wild.
