what are the legs made of in case I want to modify it to be shorter for the elderly Basset Hound? Chances are he will reject anything this "tall"

I can not really tell you of what metal they are made but it is very sturdy and still light enough to move easily. We have two large breed dogs that get on and off them easily and they are both older with hip issues. They love these beds, prefer them actually, both in winter and summer. They were tentative at first, but after the first day, it's first come first served. They are elevated but not really high, even for a Basset. Our older JR easily gets on and off with no problems. Hope that helps.

The one I bought was actually too big for my dog. But if it fits I would think it would hold it. The hole around the tail area is adjustable and they are good quality. FYI I have a basset hound that weighs 45 lbs and a large was too large.

It's packed up for the winter so I can't check but I'm pretty sure it's just the material. It's not a hard wood or plastic but it was sturdy enough for my 65lb dog to sit and stand on.

the legs are made of wood, they screw into bottom. as a footstool its a little tall with legs on but just right if you leave them off.Its just right for a bench with the legs on.

The floor is rigid. It's stiffened by a sheet of some thin plastic in a sort of pocket, so it would be easy to replace, but the covering the animal sits on is a typical plastic mesh. I have no complaints with the floor - or anything else.

I don't know about any special scews (screws?) for the legs. It is all set to use as is.

I would contact munchkin and ask, there is a rubbery part to this teeter, but not sure what the materials are specifically. What a great auntie you are to inquire for her!

Its not very tall. You can't sit up straight in it. And your dog won't fit with you.

I bought this for my 40 lb Basset Hound and she uses it all the time. It's about a foot and a half high. She uses it to get on and off of the couch. The steps aren't steep, so your cat should be able to use them. It's too short to use for a bed, though. They make a 4 step one that I bought for my bed. They work great too.

I'm not sure what you are wanting. I used mine on a chaise lounge that the legs were made of plastic and they were broken. They are very good quality legs. Hope that helps.

Hi Kathleen. I don't know if it will fit. I think though if there is an animal in it you would want to have it between your legs on the ground.

You could attach 2 small pieces of wood to the spots where the legs attach. Or a board on the bottom. Contact the company and they send you legs free.

My petite (70-75 lb) 8 yr old black lab uses this no problem. Her old dishes were on the ground so this size is plenty tall but if u want something that does not require any bending of neck, this prob wont work unless u put on something

You can go to the manufacture's site for my info. I have an 80 pound dog and had the same question. The manufacture's site has a trick for getting the proper measurements

The legs are only 6 inches high or a little bit lower. You could get a higher bench with some more deepnest but the legs may not gethang higher.

After discussing this questions with my husband, he believes the wheels are rubber. Possible? Could the manufacture be contacted? I also saw reviews saying the wt. limit is low and no English Cocker Spaniel could use this--my dog is 30 lbs small English Cocker Spaniel and was perfect for him, he can turn around in it, no sagging what so ever, very sturdy. We have used it several times and he loves it. We bought him on the ferry (using elevator to the top outer deck) and he fell asleep for the ride.

One of my dogs has arthritis and seems to manage this bed, though carefully, and as long as he goes from a long side. The protruding legs tripped him up when we first got one. That may also be a factor of age. He is 75# and 14+ years old. He does take an anti-inflammatory for his arthritis.
