Great tent for first timers very easy to setup, we had the poles in and the main structure of the tent up in 20 - 25 mins an then pegged it down and put up the inner rooms in just over an hour with a cuppa tea in between.
The two sleeping areas are designed to take three people and probably will if you don't mind being squeezed in. We used a double air bed which fitted in well leaving a small gap around it not pushing the inner tent onto the outer tent. If you don't want to feel restricted and want to have just that bit more room to move around in I would suggest using it as a four man tent rather than a six.
The tent comes with a ground sheet for the centre living area of the tent which serves it purpose but we have bought a bigger ground sheet to cover the remaining areas.
There is no trim/curtain around the bottom of the tent to prevent the wind and rain from being blown in and when we used the tent we did have a few downpours an this did not cause us a problem but I would imagine this might cause a few problems for prolonged periods of rain and wind so ok for summer use but could get a bit damp at other times.
Head room - I'm 6ft tall an my head just touches the centre of the tent when inside I can live with this but it would be nicer to have that extra bit of height.
Ventilation - plenty
Overall its a good tent to start with ideal for a family who want to try camping for the first time during the summer.
