Title: Bad design - will not last
Review: I purchased two of these for my sons for Christmas to be used for boy scout camping. My ten year old was upset Christmas night that his was broken. Upon inspection I noticed that one of the "plastic" posts at the end of the cot that attaches the cross bar was broken. I'm not sure what happened to it but based on my 20+ years experience as an engineer this is a bad design that will not be durable. The metal cross bars will be placing a sheer force on the plastic posts. Eventually they will fail, probably sooner than later. The posts should have been metal or durable plastic, not cheap hollow plastic parts. I noticed other reviews with similar problems. I'm not sure what to do with this now. Might try to modify it. Based on other reviews, the company customer service is unresponsive. I should have read the negative reviews closer. I paid attention to the positive reviews but the negative reviews, if constructive and thoughtful, are actually more useful.
Is the review positive or negative?
