I have a fur baby that has a problem breathing sometimes, and my husband noticed that she seemed to have the problem the most right after she drank. Since she is a toy breed, he wondered if a bowl she did not have to bend down for would help her, We bought this bowl and it has helped our little one! She doesn't have the problem as much any more. So for functionality I give it a 10! it did what I needed it to do. It is made of a light colored wood and mine came in three wood pieces I had to assemble *and two white bowls came with it ). They tray that holds the bowls just sits in between the slots drilled in the two legs, You have a choice at what level to put the tray. Here is my issue with the bowl...there is nothing to hold the tray into the legs other than the little notches and so if you bump the water dish in any way..,.even the tiniest bit...the water dish falls apart and there is water everywhere, The puppy doesn't seem to knock it over..so that is good.. but I can't seem to keep from bumping it with my foot. I gave this stand/bowl combination a 4 because it does work for us, My puppy likes it and it helps her breathing and it looks nice. As far as the spilling, I have moved it to a more secure location and will deal with the occasional spill. It would be nice however if there were removable knobs to connect the tray to the legs. I thought when I looked at the picture that is came with them. If it does...I did not get those. There was no paperwork with the item and no picture on the box so I could not see whether or not they were supposed to be included. If this item had those I would give it a five star rating.
