    I intend to give it away if the person I give it to can assemble it. I called the mfg and they said you just have to stretch the fabric. But I can't.

    I never got the fabric to stretch completely over the ends of the bar. Then after a few times of using it, the seam ripped right down the side bar.

          Best Uses

            Comments about Texsport Metal Frame Cot:

            I wanted a lightweight cot to get off the ground while camping. This is not it. The fabric is impossible to stretch over the poles. There is an area in the center that is very uncomfortable with extra material. It sags even though I only weigh 150 lbs. Unfortunately I can't send it back because I hacksawed about a 1/2 inch off the poles to make the fabric fit.

            I consider m self a handyman, I'm a mechanic for a living.
            This cot looked good for the price. I tried to set it up, get familiar with it before our weeklong camping trip. It was extremely difficult to stretch the fabric over the rails, even with tools. When I did finally get it together, my 8 yr old daughter laid down on it and it tore. My advice is to pass this up and look for something else.

                      Was extremely difficult to get the base poles inserted. Not something I'd want to do in the dark or rain. Not sure how someone that wasn't into weight lifting would be able to twist the poles enough to get them inserted. [...]

                                This cot does not fold up. It breaks down and needs to be stored in a box.

                              Would you reccommend this cot for an extended trip? I.e. 3-10 days at a time? Im considering treking thru Glacier for a week and then maybe month long portions of the A.T. and I wondered if this would be a plus or minus for the trek....

                                I would say that this cot would be way too heavy for an AT trip. However if you were horse packing this cot would work.
