This cot is in sturdy condition. There are a few chips in the white paint along the top of the rails as expected with normal use. The mattress is innersprung and in very good condition. It has been used with a Dr Sprock cover for all but the last few months. The side can be removed for a smooth transition to a big bed. It has been unassembled ready for pick up and to make way for the big bed so is now looking for a new home :)
