"I loved how it looks!! Didn’t last for us. Our 1 year old was able to destroy it in under 3 hours of arrival. Just a note in case anyone else has a dog who can destroy most toys. Great choice, just a note in case anyone else has a dog who can destroy most toys, better for mild chewers!"

"Like many other reviewers stated, the dog can get chunks of this off and does eat it. I had to finally remove it from her when I noted she was getting and throwing up later. Just be aware, it is sturdy, but not sturdy for a large and heavy chewer."
