I bought this bed 6 years ago and my lab still loves it. He was somewhat picky, and didn't like the first dog bed I got him. He seemed to prefer to get on the couch where could lay his head on the throw pillow. This bed was a success. He likes to lay his head on the bolster, and likes to bunch up the inner pillow before laying down with his toy. I like that I can easily wash it. Other dogs that come over like it as well. The price was steep, but it was worth it. It has held up well and still looks good, not too much fading. I'm glad I bought it, and highly recommend it.
