KidKraft Wooden Outdoor Double Chaise Lounge for Kids with Cup Holders - Patio Furniture Set with Navy & White Striped Fabric - Perfect Gift for Ages 3-8 - Ideal for Backyard, Poolside & Outdoor Play Areas

Why get a boring elevated dog bed for the patio when kid craft provides a chaise lounge option for about the same price haha! This item is meant for small children but it works for dogs just as well.It comes in a box full of pieces to assemble. The maker might be cousins to IKEA, there is a lot to assemble but the directions are pretty straightforward. My husband put it together in the house in about an hour (It’s 110 degrees outside here, and sitting on the concrete to assemble it would have resulted in burns on our legs) and then we carried it outside.At first we assembled it as shown with the divider down the middle but it works better for dogs with the cushions together and the divider to one side (I added photos of both) It fits two medium size pups perfectly (25lb, and 30lb) or one large dog up to 60lbs-ish. My fluffy dog will sprawl out if the other one gets on it too. He doesn’t like to share but he’s not big enough to take up the whole lounge lolIf buying it for children, it’s more toddler size than big kid size. I’d guess ages 2-6 would fit ?The divider has 2 compartments- One for toys and one is a cup holder. The cup holders fit a small collapsible dog dish perfectly! I fill them with ice cubes so my dogs can relax and keep hydrated in the summer heat.The material is SUPER durable! I was concerned that the dogs nails would tear it. One of my dogs has a long quick and we can’t trim his nails too short. The other dog has extra toes (extra nails) and I figured I was going to have to make replacement covers. I was surprised with the quality of the material.The material is not only durable but washes like a charm! When I saw those bright white stripes, I gave them a week tops before they were gross. I make my dogs pupsicles (I think we know they are spoiled based on the chaise lounge alone haha) Pupsicles are paper cups with frozen beef broth and a few treats inside. They are MESSY and my dogs only get them outside on the chaise lounge so they don’t attract ants. When they are done I just hose off the chaise lounge and it looks brand new again. Muddy paw prints also just hose off. Occasionally I use a little drop of dish soap and a scrub brush for tougher stains that set but everything just washed right off! The material seems to be water resistant and the water just beads on top and dries quickly. I also hose the pollen and dust off of the canopy once a week. When I’m not hosing it down I just use the leaf blower to clear off the dust and chewed up sticks from it. The durability would work well for messy children as well.The canopy provides adequate shade and snaps on/off for easy removal. My patio is already covered so the canopy is purely decorative for our use. I tend to unsnap part of it in triple digit heat so the patio fan can send a little breeze down to my panting pups.Another perk is the chaise lounge makes a great photo op! Just look at how cute they are! If only I remembered to tuck in the tag or clean up my patio first, haha.My dogs absolutely love their fancy, summer time dog bed…er…chaise lounge. Their patio furniture looks better than ours! Ha! We sit in beat up camp chairs that have iron on patches covering up rips, the dogs have luxury seating lol.
