Reviewers of the M&amp;D blue Finney Fish Ball said it ruined the finish of their furniture. Has anyone had the same problems with the red Starfish Ball?

I have noticed no problems! Our daughter loves this ball and plays with it all the time:)

I do not remember having this problem. Make sure that it is not warped...and that it will not get stuck. I've not had that problem and I buy the $200 (on sale) Brother MFC-7360N and recycle them once I've used their life up. About 1 to 1.5 years.....ask for a replacement if you are worried and that is why I try to have a couple on the shelf at all times. :)

Mine stopped working cuz the light on the roller ball wasn't working. I could click and right click so the mouse was being recognized but I couldn't use the ball to move the cursor. Unfortunately I gave up. They're just low quality imports. I had one Fellowes manufactured for 10 years but can't find "non-generic" anymore. Good luck, mine lasted about 2 months.

Mine has been stained, and the result is definitely not pine looking to me. I wish it were. It looks closer to yellow than pine I am afraid. Perhaps if the staining were done differently you might have a different result, but as I had said in my review, this table was difficult to stain according the the fellow who did it. Each section (Leg, top, drawer face) seemed to "take up" the stain differently. Over the stain he put polyurethane. That may be what is causing the yellowish effect. There is no hint of grain I would like to see. His (and therefore my) recommendation was to buy this if your intention was to paint it. It would be a lovely little table to paint. (hint-hint).

Got mine August 2012 and it's ... failing. I completely turn it every month, it's under a mattress pad, I weigh about 120, but it's developed "cracks" and where my hips are (yes, I know laying down your hips are the heaviest area), it's really kind of "crushed". I loved this SO much - fibro, herniated L4-5 with recurring sciatica, arthritis but now I have to think about trying to scrape up money to get a new topper and I'm not sure I want to get another of this one. Mine hasn't lasted a year and it's just me and occasionally my cat.

My daughter got nail polish remover on it and it destroyed the paint. The stool that came with it feel apart. My daughter loves it and it looks great in her room but there were those 2 issues.

I have not had this issue. I've had mine since September, I don't use it daily though. I have only hand washed. I have used it in the microwave. I do find that tomato sauces stain the finish slightly, but this is true of most plastics. I line the interior with a little parchment paper to prevent that.

I was so disappointed in this Froggs towel. I was storing it damp in the container in the coldest part of the refrigerator and when I pulled it out the other day it was covered with mold. I soaked it in bleach for a few hours, but not all the spots came out. I also have a Chilly Pad and it was stored exactly the same and has NO mold issues. ???????

All wood except yellow levers to move pegs. WARNING: blue paint on handle of mallet comes off in our child's mouth and made her lips blue. Amazon is sending a replacement in case this unit was defective. We will be contacting Melissa and Doug for further instructions and to alert them to the issue.**UPDATED: Just spoke with M&D; - they informed me that all of their products are made with non-toxic materials and water based paint. Any water (including our child's saliva) will cause paint to wash off. They assured us that there is no issue. While I appreciate their assurances, we're still going to keep the maalet from her until she doesn't put everything in her mouth. All wood except yellow levers to move pegs.

I know somebody that removed it from fiberglass - they used a plastic paint scrapper - it took some effort but it did not damage it. May be able to use wd40 or some other adhesive remover to make it easier. I have not tried to remove mine yet and I have a porcelain tub.

I have had leather furniture ruined by cat urine. The urine runs off the leather into the fabric cushion components between the seat and back of the chair/sofa. I don't think it stays on the leather per se, but because it soaks into a place that is hard to reach, it is very hard to treat. You could spray the furniture, as the cat has sprayed/peed, so the Fizzion goes into the same place, but what happened to me was the liquid loosened the glue that holds the leather to the cushion components, and the hides began to lift off of the fill. I believe Fizzion will kill cat urine odor anywhere it can reach and soak in for a few hours. I only buy "throw away" furniture, and recently replaced 7 yo leather furniture with more. To protect this furniture, I stuff rolled up hand towels down into the crease between the seat and back, and bought multiple changes of furniture covers for it (from Amazon, of course). While some peeing does occur, it is not as often, and after many months, the furniture beneath is still like new. Albeit we aren't actually sitting on leather, but once the cat pee gets into the cushions I think it is near impossible to get it out because the Fizzion can't reach it all, and even if it does, the leather may separate from the fill. My furniture that was ruined was before I found Fizzion, and if I had it then, perhaps I wouldn't have had to soak it so often, and it would have lasted longer. Fizzion is the very best product to remove cat urine I have ever found, in years of having cats and searching for urine removal products. Hope this helps.

When my husgand saw the size of the box he wondered what in the world did I order... then opened the very damaged big box and then another box and then another box - and the large large box had so much damage on it I took photos - but then will have to send the light back since I saw another person had the same problem - no way will the shade slide on the light section of the lamp. Hope you are enjoying yours. To answer another persons question the large box was about three feet long and a foot and a half high with lots of stuffing. Even with all the damage on the larger box the light was not damaged at all...but as someone else said light way too bright and would not work with a dimmer.

I got these for Christmas and mine stained right away on the second use cooking some frozen fish. Has anyone successfully gotten the stains out I tried the soap and water per instructions but that did not seem to help.

be warned that if your cats really like it, it will fall apart because the cardboard tubing is only glued to the plastic inserts that hold the pins that hold it together. mine absolutely love it but the first one had to be replaced after less than a week as it was bowing so bad from them using it. the second one, which the compnay sent me for free, faired a bit better, but now after 3 months was doing the same thing. my husband screwed it together with regular screws at the points where the plastic inserts were coming apart from the tubes.

I don't have a problem, I use it for Angora rabbits. Did you try putting a towel underneath it? maybe your table is slippery.

We have not had any problem with ours. We bought it for our daughter and she is messy. We have had it for months and wash it once a week...it stays nice. Does not rip or ball up.

We've had ours for a year. It has been loved heavily in that time period. They sleep on it (not at the same time), love to scratch on it, and it fits beautifully in our living room (not an eye sore). It can be turned over, so it really does last a long time. The cool effect of the cut cardboard is gone after a month or so of use, but the piece itself lasts at least a year. We're about ready to buy a new one and place the current one in a less conspicuous place.
