the bed is ok. The outer part to wash is difficult to remove and reinstall. also, the foam bas for the bed is integral to the outer lining - so it gets washed with the outer lining. and of course, it does not lay flat afterwards. the foam 'ring' that creates the side of the bed is the only thing that is removable. Also, the 'clay color is tan/beige. I expected gray since clay is gray.
