Not as sturdy as the original manufacturer’s version. Be careful disassembling not to over-flex. The ferrules that join the support rods can snap - one did for us.

OK first thing is, these cots are very light. The cot bed fabric and long poles are seemingly indestructible. The feet are sturdy and nest together very conveniently. The black and orange cross poles are not sturdy at all. I have used these cots for many (more than 20) car camping and backpacking trips over the last two years; I am pleased with the amount of use we have been able to get for the price. I guess I cannot complain about the poles bending considering the number of people who mention it in the reviews. Do not let that fact dissuade you from purchase, these cots will give you plenty of use before they become unserviceable. I was also able to purchase much more durable replacement parts for the Therm-a-rest Mesh cot that fit this model perfectly.They are a bit difficult to assemble until you get the hang of it. At this point my 10 and 15 year old sons can assemble them in under three minutes. Be gentle with the cross poles, if you weigh more than 180lbs use all the included poles. If you weigh under 180 you can definitely get away with just six cross poles (to save weight). These cots have been a good purchase and have served our needs well here in Colorado, can't complain about the price either. One enthusiastic thumb up!

I bought two of these, and after using them for a couple backpacking trips bought two more.Pros: They are lightweight. They are relatively simple to set up. They pack down fairly small.Cons: The aluminum rods just aren't sturdy enough -most of mine are slightly bent after using the cots over the course of four three- to four-day backpacking trips. When assembling, the crossbars tend to slip out of the plastic feet, leading to bent crossbars or bent feet. You will need to find a fairly flat piece of ground to put these on as they aren't adjustable at all. They can be a little tricky to dis-assemble.All in all, I am fairly happy with these, especially because they are so light weight and it makes it possible for me to continue backpacking without having to schedule a trip to the chiropractor each time. I just wish they were a little more durable.

Likely a knock off of an expensive product out there, but there is a trade off to pay for the cheaper price tag. Once assemble it will skew out of square, and you need to keep an eye on the fabric to prevent damage.Good if you’re going to be camping on the same spot for a few days, if you’re on the move I would use a pad for a lighter/faster camp set-up.Pros:Light weight and compact.Will put you off the ground.More confortable than a pad.Cons:Assembly might not be straight forward for everybody.Fabric skewed under tension, and might not provide enough support for heavy people.Fabric might start ripping on the small cut-outs where the green brackets get attached (using a lighter can fix the damage but be careful as it’s flammable material).

I bought two of these three years ago. My wife and I used them for the first two years and this summer my kids used them, 10-20 days per summer per cot. I'm 185 lbs and everyone else is much lighter.It's a knockoff of a Thermarest Mesh Cot. The design is great but the quality is poor. You get what you pay for I guess. The poles are bent way out of shape but they still work. It just makes assembly that much harder. I've gotten good at it but it still takes upwards of five minutes per cot and a lot of muscle to assemble. I haven't snapped a pole yet but I won't be surprised if I do.The biggest quality problem though is that the fabric was stitched crooked. On both cots the holes don't line up on either side. If you assemble it using the pre-cut holes, it creates a lateral force so the poles slide apart overnight and the whole thing collapses. The brackets have to be at exactly 90 degrees to the poles otherwise it will come apart. It took a lot of troubleshooting to figure this out and re-assembling this thing in the middle of the night is not fun. I've made my own holes by now just by tearing up the fabric during assembly, putting the brackets in random places and letting them cut the fabric, etc. The fabric is a mess but it still works.Despite all this, the cot is incredibly comfortable, way better than any air mattress I've ever slept on. Maybe it's ridiculous but I put up with all the problems just because of how well I sleep on it. My wife doesn't really like it though. We're on a big air mattress now since we've been car camping lately but the kids love these cots. At some point I'll probably spring for a Thermarest Ultralight. I love the design so I'm comfortable paying more for some better quality.
