I've been VERY picky in trying to find a dog bed that is aesthetically pleasing, has a nice feel to it, and is the right fit for my golden retriever. I'm very pleased with this dog bed thus far - it feels soft, has the edges my puppy likes, and looks very modern/fits right in with our home decor style! My pup laid on it the minute we got it out of the box! *please note the darker center spot in the middle of the bed is from my dog licking it lol. I would definitely recommend this dog bed to others.
