Great tent, not so easy to follow instructions

So, the tent is GREAT! The instructions are not. Coleman color coded the tent poles, which would be helpful except they didn’t tell you what the colors mean. The instructions were mislabeled and I was confused about which pole to use. I happened to glance at the Spanish sheet to see if it was labeled differently, and it was! I don’t speak Spanish, but using the Spanish instructions were more helpful than the English.
The tent itself is very good. I don’t care much for the Velcro used on the hinged door. After one day of use, the Velcro was coming off. Also, the door wouldn’t always latch to the Velcro easily. Other than that, I love the hinged door and the tent overall
I bought this tent for my son and I to go on a 2 week father and son camping trip to Yellowstone National Park, it performed way better than I expected, was very easy to set up and take down 15 mins each time, plenty of space inside for us and our gear and the e-port was extremely helpful, had to deploy the rainfly and it was also fast and easy to get up even in the rain! no water penetrated the tent anywhere.
This tent lasted through MANY years of girl scout & boy scout camping weekends. It was ALWAYS so easy to assemble, was up in minutes. Then when the kids were in High school we would go on friend group camping trips since scouting was over. What GREAT family bonding time. It was fun "roughing it" too!!!
I have used this tent for 2 seasons now - I also have the 4 person fast pitch tent. I use this one, the Montana when there will be more of us in the tent. I typically have 4 adults and 2 children in this. 2 Queen sized mattress fit perfectly with room to spare for a few sleeping bags for kids.
