We purchased one about four years ago for Aged Mum, who is a tiny little person. First thing it did was break the slats in her antique bed, requiring us to buy a metal frame. Then she broke her hip, and now she has trouble climbing into it. She can't sit on the edge and get in. Spencer can get up, but he then sits and waits pitifully for someone to get him down. The one time in the past few months that he's jumped off himself, he pulled something and was miserable for hours. What's the use of a bed that humans can't use--let alone their dog friends? I guess we need to shell out bucks for something that will let the dog visit on the bed with his grandma when she comes to visit.
