I bought this to put on the dining table and have my dog sit in it, but after trying it once, he wouldn't go in again... I put a cushion on the bottom of the chair, so his paws and legs didn't directly touch the product. He put his front paws on the cover once, but only went in once. It's like new, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. Price negotiations are welcome. I will disassemble it and pack it properly for shipping.
