Coolaroo Steel-Framed Elevated Dog Bed

I purchased the large size and it can fit 2 of the 3 (big white one with one of the smaller dogs)of my dogs nicely. They take turns laying on the bed or together. This is the second coolaroo bed i have owned. The first we left out all year round and the metal pieces started rusting and the bed got very wobbly. So I replaced it and have learned they last longer if you put them away with rain or snow. Otherwise I love that you can order replacement fabric pieces but have never had to at this point. I have never had trouble with the fabric tearing. And that says a lot because I have kids too that think it’s funny to sit on the bed with the dogs!

Unfortunately I had a horrible experience trying to put it together. It’s sort of together now, after much struggling to line the screws up so they could be tightened, pinching my finger while trying to stretch the fabric, bandaging my finger so it wouldn’t get blood all over, and much cussing. It still isn’t right, but it is together. If my dog uses this, next time I get an elevated bed, it will be one that’s made out of pvc pipe. I’m disappointed that Chewy sells this bed. They have higher standards.

These Coolaroo beds are great, especially for your enclosed porch or patio. We had two of them for our previous beloved boys, and they lasted for many, many years. We kept them on our covered, screen-enclosed patio (in SW Florida). We have a newly adopted furry rescue and we just had to get him one. The assembly is easy until you get to the final leg, so some strength is needed.

Bought the Coolaroo (on sale - Green) and the Frisco (https://www.chewy.com/frisco-steel-framed-elevated-dog-bed/dp/139414) in med since they were about the same price.. Needed two beds and seemed like a good opportunity to compare the two to see which lasted longer and if the Coolaroo was worth the additional price. Received the Frisco yesterday and it went together like a dream, done in less than 10 minutes by myself, instructions were clear with a helpful hint for getting that 'last bolt' started (twist the frame to relieve tension on the fabric). Coolaroo came today and I just finished that one. All of the pieces and instructions were similar, the assembly differences were night and day Bought the Coolaroo (on sale - Green) and the Frisco (https://www.chewy.com/frisco-steel-framed-elevated-dog-bed/dp/139414) in med since they were about the same price..

Received the Frisco yesterday and it went together like a dream, done in less than 10 minutes by myself, instructions were clear with a helpful hint for getting that 'last bolt' started (twist the frame to relieve tension on the fabric). Coolaroo came today and I just finished that one. All of the pieces and instructions were similar, the assembly differences were night and day. First off, the Coolaroo plastic spacers were not attached to bars like the Frisco so you have to hold those in place while trying to line up the screws. The Coolaroo screws did seem 'heftier' that the Frisco but felt very easy to cross thread, even on the first bolt (gets worse as you proceed). Bolts #3 and #4 are the worst. Could have probably used another set of hands to pull on the second bar to try to get it lined up. Doing that, while trying to keep the spacer in place, and doing everything I can to prevent cross threading was a nightmare. I attempted to twist the frame (hint from the Frisco) but the Coolaroo leg bars are oblong where they connect to prevent that twisting (at least the version I received). After a quick break to look into the Chewy return process (really Chewy, can't just request a return from order summary, have to search FAQ or contact support to find return process?!?), I muscled it together (am sure at least the last bolt is cross threaded). The fabric on the Coolaroo seems a little nicer than that on the Frisco but I am going to throw both out in the yard and see how they each hold up. If I had to do over again, I would just go with the Frisco. If the Coolaroo fabic wears better, then I may just order that and put it on the Frisco frame. Not sure that I would order from Chewy though, there is no reason not to make the return process easier for customers to initiate. … more

Bought the aqua in size Large for my 32 pound Goberian (Husky/GoldenRet mix) to grow into. It is really big. She is supposed to reach 45 - 60 pounds and I don't think she will nearly fill it. I could have got away with a smaller size and I may trade down once she reaches full size as this one takes up a lot of space in the "living room" on our back porch. Completing the construction would have been tricky, as others have said, but I had a second pair of hands available for connecting the final corner and I left all the other bolts very loose til that last part was in.

The dimensions on the size chart are completely incorrect. I ordered a small bed based off of the measurements for my 33lb Keeshond. The bed measures 27 inches long and 20 inches wide, whereas the size chart says it should be 35x22. It’s way too small for her to fit on. Disappointed as I have a large one for my husky and he absolutely loves it.

I bought this for my puppy who was using a storage tote that he was outgrowing. He is a GSD puppy with a high chew drive so I didn't want anything with stuffing. I put this together too early, so I made some mistakes. But it's fairly easy to put together. It will be crooked until push down even with the floor. My puppy has started to chew on the material and it has frayed a bit. I likely will have to replace that eventually, but I see it has the option to do that. The material is still very durable and he hasn't made significant damage yet. Good size.

Jasmine is 80 pound Labrador and loves her new bed. She still prefers my bed but sleeps on this one when she not on my bed. Assembly was a little tricky - getting 4th leg adjusted. DO NOT tighten until it’s together!!! I had to YouTube it to see how to get 4th leg on! I broke a sweat but it’s on and bed is great! 9 stars because of having issue with putting together. Otherwise bed is fantastic size and durable - pup approves!

I own three of these (2 large and a medium) for my four Catahoulas. The covers used to last a long time, sometimes a year or two, but the last few I've purchased have wear holes after just a few weeks. The dimensions given are also incorrect. I bought a medium to put in a 42" wire crate. I knew it would be a tight fit as the length given by the manufacturer is also 42", but I figured I'd be able to squeeze it in. No chance—the bed is actually 43.5". Now it's back to the drawing board for a dog that loves to destroy bedding.

I have a 10 month old golden retriever puppy (~60 lbs), and I was trying to train her to "go to mat", but she kept picking up the towel/rug that I had so I decided to use this as the mat instead. She loves it! I initially bought the medium, but it was too small (her legs were hanging off). The large size is perfect. It's lightweight so it's easy to move it somewhere else when we need the space.
