Just bought the Sandringham - My previous experience of camping being with traditional 2-man tent. If you haven't erected a dome-type tent with pin connections before, you will not be helped much by the Sandringhams sewn-into-the-bag instructions: The small diagram illustrating the pin placement in the end of the pole suggests a snug fit but on mine the pole opening seems to be too large for the pin.
Because the instructions lack detail, I have no way of knowing if this is correct or whether there is something missing. Millets do not seem to know.
Probably patently obvious to those with dyed-in-the-wool experience of such things - but for this reason I would only buy this tent if you know someone who can advise on its correct assembly.
