Very happy!
Size: 41.3 x 27.5, Color: Grey
Buy this bed! My fur son is a destroyer. Toys, balls, beds. Nothing is safe. Knock on wood, this bed has held up to his destructive behavior. And it’s so fluffy! It is big enough that I don’t think it’s going to fit in my washer. I will have to take it to the laundry mat to wash it eventually. At that point I will update on true durability. But all in all I find it to be a quality purchase.

This dog bed is super fluffy. The cat loves it also. Size was perfect for my med dog she weighs 49lb. We have had it for month or so and both the dog and cat use it over there old bed. It has remained super fluffy. Worth the bang for the buck!

Great price! Great Paper towel!
Package Size Name: XXL, Size: 150 sheet (Pack of 2)
These Amazon brand paper towels are great! They are the multi tear size, which is perfect for different uses. The price is good and they clean windows and glass wonderfully. Softness is so so, but if you don’t have an issue with that, then these are a great buy! I definitely recommend!

Strong, absorbent and a good price!
Package Size Name: XXL, Size: 150 sheet (Pack of 12)
These are good paper towels. Not thin at all. Strong, absorbent and capable of cleaning as well as the 'name' brand paper towels but at a much better price. I'm happy with them.
