Very Sturdy Unit
This cot rocks. I'm a big guy, 6'2" and weigh 265lbs., and I needed something very durable and portable. This was just what I needed. There is plenty of room on the bed for getting comfortable and stretching out. The frame is rock solid and there is barely any rocking to the frame when getting in and out of it. You can easily have two people sleep in this bed if you don't mind sleeping close together, this cot definitely holds up to the challenge. I purchased a bed roll and put it on top of this and it is very comfortable to sleep on. The frame is completely assembled all you have to do is pull it out of the bag, unfold it and snap the two end rails in place. The only drawback I see, and the reason for the four stars, is that the end rails can unhook if someone is pulling up on them. It seems like there should be a locking mechanism or something, but it doesn't seem to be a huge concern for regular use. I will say this bed is much too big and heavy to carry around for hiking, you can use it for camping if you can park close to the site. Works great for an extra bed around the house if your tired of repairing inflatable mattresses. The higher price might turn a few people off but I think for the quality it's worth it. I don't like things that break easily or feel cheap and this cot has a solid feel to it.
