Let me start by saying; I hated and I mean HATED putting together my old dog beds after a wash! We like things clean so they got washed pretty often. You had to practically be a contortionist to get it back together properly and it never looked quite right. Not anymore! This is hands down the best dog bed we have ever owned. We ordered two of the larges, and they are spacious and very smart looking. And it stays that way! The ease of getting it back together is amazing. Most importantly the dogs love them year round. We have had them almost a year now and I can honestly say they look as good now as they did back then. Do not hesitate!!!!
