I can actually see the use of it. When I am at my desk on my computer my babies always want up there beside me. They can't go on my lap because there really is not enough room for them. I think it would be very useful for that but that is the only thing I would use it for; I don't believe dogs should be allowed to eat at the table. The price is way to high though, I would expect $30 but not $170.
They have alot of cute stuff, I just think a majority of the prices are too high.
