We bought this slat mill for our pup because it gets very hot in the summers here (up to 120°) and we wanted him to be able to run year round, even when it's too hot to go outside. All of the materials in this product are very high quality. I like that the slats are all plastic so they don't splinter, and also that they're textured so my pup doesn't slip. I love that it has a hand brake so I can stop the belt manually if I need to, and to make jumping on and off safer. I built it by myself over the course of a few hours, but it definitely would have been easier with two people. The instruction manual was detailed and easy to follow. The only difficult part was making the track meet in the middle to secure it. The finished product looks sleek and professional and runs smoothly. The noise level isn't as high as other slat mills I've seen, but it does still sound like a dog running on hollow plastic. Size wise, my 7 month old German Shepherd is very comfortable running on it, but I would worry with a breed that was much bigger. He was a little timid when he first started using it, but now he sprints like a champ. Honestly I have no complaints about this item and I would recommend it to anyone whose dog needs extra run time.
