I wouldn't get near the thing for a day and half, then, I discovered it was okay, not going to hurt me...I LOVE my condo and Mom placed it in the very best windows so I can wtch all the goings on outside, tv inside and company! Very nice design and being only 6 months and 13 pounds!! no, I'm tall and long not fat, my apartment is very cozy, too!  Thanks, you have Mom's vote too!!
