I love that the bed is easier to clean thus eliminating pet odors. Plus it helps keep her cooler being lifted off the ground with the mesh. Simple to put together. The velcro made me worry that it would not hold, so far so good! She is a 60-65lb dog. However, she does appear to get up a little more stiff in the mornings after sleeping on this bed compared to her orthopedic cushion bed. She has a hunched over/rounded back walk directly after laying on this. Be weary if your pet is older, this bed may not be best for support.
