Well, I was warned! The bed consists of a plastic hoop, a round piece of foam and the fabric cover that goes over the foam and includes the "hood" that's supposed to be held up by the hoop. Problem is that the foam is WAY too thin to fill the cover (almost looks like somebody didn't pack the second layer in the box) and is lumpy from being squished tightly into the vacuum sealed delivery bag. So everything slides around and the hoop wobbles. Will have to add extra foam to the filling to hopefully make it work! If the dogs wouldn't have made the bed dirty trying it out I would send it back. Sure, it's cheap (compared to beds in pet stores)  but at least it should be usable right from the beginning even if it won't last long. Update after several months: zipper went pretty quickly so I had to sew it together which helped to make the cover fit more snug. The Dachshunds love it though and one sleeps in there every night. Just for that I upgraded the stars to 3.
