What I expected
I ordered 3 large beds. I was looking for an off the ground bed to use outdoors in my kennel area. One of my dogs is older and I didn't want her laying on concrete during the day while I am at work and she is in the kennel. I was also looking for a bed that didn't lay on the ground where it would become soiled if someone had an accident or if it was exposed to weather. This bed style worked nicely.
I'm happy with the purchase. The dogs love the beds and readily used them.
The beds were bigger than I planned so I had to adjust things to make them all fit. Also, my youngest dog has started "chewing" on the fabric of one bed in the corner area which is free from metal backing so she is able to be destructive there. So far, even with the damage that bed is holding up well.

Snap! Less than 5 minutes, put together, dogs happy, everyone happy!
We were not sure which size bed to get, so we bought two medium, and two large to start with.
We have two lab mix puppies, one is 55# (22" height), the other is 40# (19" height). I wish someone had added heights of their dogs in their reviews, it would have been such a huge help! The medium is more than adequate for both dogs. They also have wicked nails, but are the length they are supposed to be, and they did not poke into the cover.
The bed was easy to put together with just one person. Not sure why other people have had problems, but they were done in a snap, and the dogs took to them immediately.
We kept the two large instead of sending them back and are using them in the basement/outdoors. I have ordered additional beds for inside to put their beds on, to get them off the floor. Beds that have fleece or a suede like finish on the bottom, these will not slide on the cover, other material will require a non-slip grip material placed between the cot cover and the bed to keep it from sliding.
Just in case, additional bed covers were purchased at the same time.
We are thrilled with these beds, and the dogs seem very happy also! I cannot wait for the others to arrive!
My 55# was diagnosed with severe hip dysplasia at 5 months of age, so her bedding is very important, and we use the same for the younger dog as well. They are 15 mo, and 9 mo. old right now. Both were severely abused dogs that we adopted at 5mo and 6 mo. old.
This is one of our best investments!
