Rating: - What is all the fuss? Less than 5 minutes, done, dogs on beds, 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!

Rating: - Great dog bed
I have 3 of these beds for my dogs and rescue dogs. They are easy to clean and the dogs love to put a blanket on top and hang out. I broke one and found out you can order every part individually through Grace Pacific/Coolaroo. I have a more expensive bed that I thought was better made. It had plastic corners and when the dog chewed it they told me they don't replace parts. Now the velco is coming of and I can find the exact size of pvc pipe they used to make it. On the other hand Coolaroo has given me great customer service and their simple design has held up to an excellent standard. I would reccommend buying a size bigger than the weight limit if your dog is close too because it will start sagging quickly and you will have to replace the cover when it hits the floor.

Rating: - Good quality, difficult to assemble, and not for everydog
The bed is extremely difficult to assemble even for two people working together. The bed quality is very good and after we finished it it looked great and sturdy. However, our dog--famous for his taste for sofas, beds, and chairs--does not stay on the bed more than 2 minutes even when he jumped on it with confidence right after we put it together. We are thinking about donate it to the local shelter.

Rating: - Coolaroo Pet Bed
I purchased this dog bed for the first time last year. I have a Great Dane and expected it to last a few months, if that. Over a year later I bought another one through Amazon.

I cannot believe how well this bed has held up! The first one was out on our porch (the "mud room.") The Dane leaps upon it with our Seeing Eye trainee in hot pursuit, and then both will curl up and sleep on it. Our new one is in the house, where our Dane will take naps or the dogs bounce off before I can remind them of "indoor play!"

This product has been a terrific value for the price, has withstood more weight than I anticipated, and you can bet I will be buying another for a different room.

Rating: - Fantastic - my dogs love it!
Amon & Lexi (my dogs) just love these beds. The are easy to put together, easy to keep clean, and easy to move. I have had one for 3 years and just bought the other one so they didn't have to "share". I like that I can buy the replacement cover also!
