The bars that hold up the foot and head ends of the cot are well hidden inside Velcro flaps. Velcro flaps require a slight tug for them to be evenly aligned when closing back. Head has adjustable position (I noted three inclines). Flaps that cover the unsightly metal bars inside have small circle magnets that adhere to metal bars, you will need to place them intently on the corner of the bar to cover it up and have out of sight, otherwise the magnet will fall where ever it will and could cause a small bunch in the flap (of course this is easily remedied by moving it downward). Its a good amount of weight, Im 5ft and carry it with a bit of intent throughout the house, Im sure it would be far easier for others assuming the folded ottoman isnt two thirds their body size! The pillow is more of a long bump of padding, or possible lumbar support. The cushion is definitely what youd expect when looking at it. Enough moderate cushion to have a quick comfortable nap, if this is a regular guest cot, an adult requiring more cushion might require some slight extra cushion thrown on top before using for several nights, but Id say still okay to use as is for a night or two. If you have frisky kids or animals that will jump on this often, you might not get too much life out of this. Doesnt seem the quality to last more than 5 years with frequent usage, but I suppose that last opinion is relative to what frequent means for you.
No assembly, easy to handle, sturdy
