What does the waterproof rating on camping tents indicate?
Waterproofing in a tent shows us how much water the outer fabric can repel. It is measured in millimeters (mm) and refers to how many millimeters of vertical water column (and therefore pressure) a square centimeter of fabric can withstand without being penetrated by water. The higher the degree of waterproofing, the less breathable the fabric is, and therefore the warmer the tent. Widely accepted waterproofing values range from 500mm to 10000mm. Theoretically, any fabric with waterproofing >1000mm is characterized as waterproof. For example, a summer tent may have waterproofing from 500 to 1500mm.

A honest summer tent. Spacious, comfortably fits a double mattress and extra space for belongings or a single bed. The large windows and doors make it very cool. We haven't tested it in rain and wind, but it has many fastenings and with extra tarp I believe it won't have any problems.
The tent is single (not double layer) summer and sets up easily in 5 minutes. Its color is dark green military in combination with dark brown. The ropes are orange. Its dimensions are (measured) what it says 2.80x2.40 m. and the height in the center 1.80 m. It comfortably fits 3 but also 4 people. It has two large entrances starting with an opening of 2.70 m. with black dense mesh (that doesn't let ants pass through) plus 4 windows, also with mesh, that close with zippers. The 2 upper windows gather upwards but also have ropes to stretch them for shade. The 2 huge lower windows stretch with 2 ropes each that tie to pegs in the ground. In short, it has incredible ventilation and coolness!!! There are 4 more ropes in its equipment to stabilize against strong wind. Inside, in the center of the dome which also has a mesh ventilation, it has a loop to hang a battery light. At the bottom on the sides it has two small mesh pockets for small objects. Finally, it has a small opening that opens with a zipper for charging cable, power strip, etc. Its (black) simple poles are thick for stability and stretch the tent very well without straining the seams. Its galvanized pegs are thin and close, if you hammer them too hard... they will definitely bend. Its zippers look quality. Its fabric is definitely not the same as the fabric of very expensive tents. The same goes for the waterproof, relatively thin, floor (I consider a thick nylon under the tent necessary to protect it from sharp branches and pebbles). Its carrying case is 65 cm long and approximately 20 cm wide, height. At 63 euros! it is the best summer tent - in size and ventilation - available in the Greek market, at this price. I say this with certainty as a long-time owner of several cheap but... also more expensive tents with aluminum poles, slow-burning fabrics, 4-season waterproofing, etc. It has not been tested yet in rain (with 1000 waterproofing and waterproof seams it normally withstands a light rain), but not in a storm. I will return when I have an opinion. See it here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIr8diwEQak
