Once this sleeper is together, it is nice and sturdy. The materials feel premium and this is a great solution for a bedside sleeper! The ability to have the front par flex down so that you can reach in at bed height is beyond awesome! The carrying case that it comes with is sufficient and disperses the weight fairly evenly, making it not such a struggle to carry. The instructions are very basic and use detailed pictures, however I feel like compared to other manuals, I has to really look at the pictures to make sure I was putting it together right. It was almost easier to just put it together how I think it should go then reference the instructions to confirm. The big issue with this sleeper though, is how difficult it is to assemble and disassemble the legs.
