Do the pictures here help?

Looks similar to a Royal tent I had years ago - thread the poles through the sleeves then lift them up and locate on the "pins", then peg out the outer, then hang the inners.

If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going till you go round the bend.

don't peg it down, lay the flysheet out, put the cross poles in for the main tent, then the bedroom pod poles over the top. Make sure the poles are put in the pins. When you have the basic structure, peg down the base sheet, put the bedroom pods in, tighten the guys so there is a little flex, but fairly tight and you are done.

You can use most instructions for a 2 bedroom dome tent.

Good luck!

I had a Coleman EOS 6 polycotton tent with the identical pole arrangement..The main poles were round 30' in length and it was the devils own job erecting it..I only used it a couple of times and got rid to a girl guide troupe. Unless you had somebody standing inside the tent it was impossible to erect.

did you manage to get it up?

The key to putting it up is making sure all the poles are in while the tent is flat, then put them in the pins (usually a 2 man job on most tents). The only thing is if that tent is for 4 adults and 2 children it will be very cramped. As a rule of thumb try and get a tent 2 sizes bigger if you are going for a week or more (so six people require at least an 8 man tent). It should be ok if you can stand to be around everyone, but bigger is usually better!

Are they still making these tents???? i seem to remember a few years ago that they had really poor quality control and extremely poor customer service. Hopefully they have improved or you may find it almost impossible to erect properly.
