UPDATE: So its been two weeks, my dogs like to lay on the bed. I purchased it to get them off the ground as they are getting older, it is working out great! 

One slight negative - the outer grey fabric is kinda slippery, however, they are adjusting to it and don’t seem to be deterred by it. The netting portion is awesome, comfortable and cool.  

Great product. I didn’t buy it for the shade attachment, so I can’t speak to that but the bed portion is great!
