My dog absolutely loves this bed! It compliments our living room furniture and it was just what we needed to get her off of the regular furniture. We retrained her to think that it was a new couch and she loves it. She also has arthritis in both hips so it was good for her to not have to keep going to the higher furniture. This bed also has these latches that hold the base in place so it isn't on the floor when she she makes a mad dash to the door when mail arrives. Worth the price. Well constructed.
