Customer Rating:  
Summary: Large & comfortable
Comment: I bought this cot for my husband and it is a sturdy cot, however found it very difficult to assemble. It took two of us both pulling and struggling. It is very nice once you get it together and maybe it will losen up after time. It is a must for men as the regular cots are too small. Legs are sturdy, especially works well on uneven ground. Doesn't tip if you just sit on one end. Very nice green color. One of the few with black legs, but do think the black will come off in time. It scratches rather easily. Other than that very sturdy - and camping gear is just that camping gear and expected to get roughed up a little.

Summary: I don't agree with the 5 star rating
Comment: I think anybody giving this cot a five star rating is far more generous than I. The canvas is decent quality, but the build doesn't look like it could handle anything but the slightest inadvertent abuse. Within about 14 seconds, the paint was already rubbing/flaking/chipping off the aluminum frame. The picture-free directions are POOR, so let me clue you in, if you're a tall person who wants a cot they can fit on -- this one being capable of fitting that bill. If your cot DOESN'T match the pictures on the box, or the picture in this listing, put the end rod with the hole farthest from the end on --last-- so you have some leverage. Hard to explain without the capability of pictures in the review, but this will make more sense with the item in front of you.
The other review says something about "maybe some thin foam padding" might help. It'll take a lot more than that to make this sucker comfortable due to the current taughtness of the canvas which might relax over time to make it more livable.
Is it more comfortable (as is) than ground outside? Sure. Why not. Is it much more comfortable -inside- than sleeping on the carpet? Not particularly.
If you're a tall pup and don't want your feet hanging off the end of a cot, and this is the only game in town due to pets wanting to use infinitely-more-comfortable inflatables as claw toys, then DON'T pay over $50, buy some serious padding, give it a go, and put on the "overly long" end connector on -last-.
If you have any other options for a snooze, use them instead.
And don't put a guest on this thing, unless you hate your guest.

Summary: This is a great cot
Comment: When I moved into my current apartment, I slept on one of these for a month until I finally found a new bed. It's a good size -- I'm 6'2" and I could stretch out comfortably. It's also very sturdy and sets up quickly. You will probably want to add a thin foam pad for some extra cushion.
