Has there been a change to the product since 2012 that is no longer flat on both sides? If not, is it high quality?

I don't know about a change, but I would rate it as high quality. I've had it for about 1.5 years and it's as good as new.

They changed it!!!!! It is not nearly as good as it was before. They turned it into a clear plastic like substance that smells different then before. I would buy the product again if they would change it back to how they had it before.

No - we've had ours for a couple of years. It's great, and very stable. The bottom is actually flat.

I purchased this on October 15th direct from Amazon. It wasn't the 2014 version, but the 2012-2013 version. But I noticed the product image has changed to the 2014 version after I purchased it.

I believe the product may have changed since I purchased it. I think the image had the condiment cup on the outside when I bought it. The design has probably just been updated.

We've had ours on two carseats for about 3 months now and haven't noticed it being any flatter. Not sure if that helps or not.

I have not used it for a little while but I don't remember that it was not in the middle.

Same thing happened to me. I think they changed the manufacturing spec, but not the description. It assembled just fine with slats all the same, and I personally think it looks nicer, much more park bench-y. Dunno if their decision was based on aesthetics or because too many customers couldn't handle the wide/narrow thing and assembled them wrong. The very top slat of course is different, but that's easy to see.

I bought mine in maybe 2010 and it is not. It is white plastic. It may have changed, though.

I bought mine just this year (2013) while on a trip...before I looked at these reviews. and it broke in a couple of months. These negative comments started seven years ago. So one would think "the engineering flaw" would be fixed, or the product taken off the market many, many moons ago. I'm not sure how you would have been able see the difference without both styles in front of you???

I purchased mine in September of 2015 and mine has different directions than earlier models. Mine says hand wash only.

I purchased one of these about 9 months ago and it had a raised divider in the middle to hold a bar of soap. I just came back to purchase this exact item as a gift but from the pictures it looks like they changed the product and removed the soap tray.

Its not the same. Its a 27 wall panel, they moved to the new 20 style so they say because its slightly more efficient, there are a lot of folds in this one. I like mine and don't worry about it but I can imagine that bigger panels that are flatter could be a little more efficient. They don't make this one anymore so anything you buy will be used or older stock, nothing wrong with it though.

Yes, I noticed this as well. The picture gives a bit of false advertising. I purchased mine over a year ago so they really have no excuse if the product changed to update that photo.

2013 Limited here...it fits perfectly with the 3rd row folder flat. I don't think they changed anything between 2012 and 2013.

The one I bought looks like the picture-it's flat. That doesn't mean they will sell you the same thing since it's been a long time since I bought mine. Need to ask the seller.

I bought mine about a year and a half ago and it was not the stonewashed version.
