AmazonBasics Cooling Elevated Pet Bed

i got the xl size so i wouldn’t have to get multiple beds for each dog.when i first laid everything out i was worried it was smaller than i expected it to be. it looked like the average sized bed for large dogs.after i put it together it was definitely the perfect size! I have a 75lbs german shepherd, an 80lbs pitbull and a 15lbs mutt. my german shepherd is the biggest and he literally takes up half of the space on the bed. he uses the max sized dog crate that they sell in pet stores (for reference lol).I will admit it was a STRUGGLE to put it together. Instructions were very straight forward it just required a lot more strength than I had. I have very little upper body strength already so it might be fine for others. When you get to the part where you put the shorter bars through and have to squeeze it between the two large ones, it took me quite a bit. and then the part where you have to put the screws in was also hard bc once i had one side in, i had to use my feet to help bring the bars to the hole to line it up to put the screws in. and for the middle piece, there’s no guide for where the center it so you just have to eyeball it when you put it on. I first tried to put it when the bed was right side up but i couldn’t get the other side to go in. so i flipped the bed upside down, put the bar on and sat on it to make it latch properly.OVER ALL it is pretty durable, very light, and definitely a good product. i only had issues putting it together bc it required quite a bit of strengths and that’s it.

XL review: These are really great outdoor dog beds and super affordable given the durability. The first one we ordered lasted four years and managed to hold its own with six dogs ranging in weight from 65 to 105 pounds (they tried to eat it, but failed). We just got two new ones. Be prepared that the parts are often mislabeled, but assembly is easy enough to figure out regardless. The only downside is that they are a B&@$!@ to put together. Prepare to use brute strength powered by every cuss word you’ve ever heard, and maybe some new ones you make up. If you have young kids, it’s probably best to send them to a friend’s house while you’re putting them together. This time I managed to get them together while hitting myself in the face only once with one of the legs, and one broken blood vessel in my thumb. Still worth it. 10/10 recommend.

I was not expecting such a sturdy, large bed for the price. My girl weighs 80ish pounds & we could have actually downsized. It was very easy to put together also. This is a great item if you have an older dog who has trouble getting up & down.

So far the bed itself is great! I got an XL for my 120 pound German Shepherd and he has lots of space. But the package came with missing screws and I am having a hard time contacting seller to replace the missing item or at least get information regarding the size of the screws.

I bought these for my dog room and 4 dogs, all ranging from small to extra large! My dogs destroy every single bed we buy them, the more expensive it is the quicker they seem to destroy them! If you have this same issue and are in the market for a new bed for your furry destroyers- look no further!! These cots are the most durable dog beds I have found! They are easy to put together, light to carry around, they are true to color and they do not slip and slide around the concrete floor! They easily hold all 4 of my dogs! 2 small, 1 medium and 1 large dog; although I bought 3 cots for them, they prefer to all smoosh theirselves together on one of the large cots! Which in total is about 175 pounds of fur baby weight all together! Even the cats love them!! None of them have ripped or come apart, although my dogs seem to be pretty rough on them, jumping and running across them! The best part is that you can easily take a hose to them and wash them off, although I haven’t noticed them retaining any smells! I highly recommend for indoor or outdoor use & especially for those pups that love to shred their beds!! At $20-$25 a piece how can you not try it out?!

Bed is the perfect size, easy to assemble, lightweight yet adequately sturdy. Easy to move about. The dog likes it. Five paws!

From what I’m seeing it’s excellent as far as material and it is very heavyWhat I don’t like is you have instructions in every language except English? The first page says EN but there’s no instructions I find that insulting. The picture shown is the only thing that mentions English when you take a picture of the code it only brings you to your Amazon review page and the product is not even on it yet probably because I received it today. Luckily it doesn’t look hard to put together, but why AMAZON would you do this with your own product?

I wouldn’t recommend if you’re getting the extra large size. First of all, the feet do not come with any pads or anything to prevent from sliding around on hardwood floor. So my dog is very hesitant to get on and off because if he doesn’t move slowly, it will move which scares him. In addition to this, I can not get them all to sit on the floor at the same time when dog is not on it. One or two always hover a bit above the floor causing additional instability.Second, the center support beam is basically worthless because it has little round pads in the center that stick up about half an inch (go figure, the center support has feet pads while the other four legs do not). So when placed on the floor the center support is higher than the other four legs causing at least two of them on one side to be half an inch off the floor, making it even more unstable than before. And with an extra large bed the center support is needed otherwise over time it will sag and wear out faster.I tried to put little stick pads on the legs to fix both of these issues but it is still uneven and they ended up falling off quickly anyway.Due to the fact I already put it together and my husband threw away the box it would be a pain to return, but I wish I would have. Everyone with dogs knows that if the dog doesn’t feel safe and secure in his bed they won’t use it. So now I just have a large thing taking up floor space for my kids to crawl on/under and scratch up the floors.
