I keep seeing people rave about the REI Half Dome tent, but after 4 trips in the Olympics it let me down hard

Everyone and their mom swears by this tent. I picked one up in March for $229 and took it out 4 times around the Olympic National Forest. The rainfly sags so bad in heavy rain that water pools right on top of the door. Third night at Sol Duc it leaked through the seam on the corner. Maybe I got a bad batch? Has anyone else had this issue or am I just unlucky?
