PAWLAND 2-in-1 Portable Folding Pet Stairs for Dogs, Cats, high beds, Wood Pet Safety Beside Dog Ramp,Dog Steps, Easy Climb Pet Step Stool (Brown)

We got this for our 14-year-old Dachshund who is having trouble gettin up on our bed. We used a footrest from an IKEA chair as a step for him for a couple of years, but he was having trouble with that arrangement, and we got him these steps.The steps were very easy to assemble and they are the perfect height for our bed. We tried setting it up as a ramp first, but the angle was too steep for him and he could not get enough traction to climb it. As steps, however, they worked perfectly and he can now easily walk up and down to the bed on his own.One day, I accidentally sat on the top step, and since I weigh significantly more than the limit, I ended up breaking the top step. Fortunately, the design is sufficiently simple and robust that I was able to repair it very easily and return it to service, where it continues its duty.In addition to its simplicity and robustness, it does not stick too far into the room from the bed, the way a ramp would. The steps are long enough and low enough for our senior Dachshund to easily walk up the stairs without having to jump.

These steps are great! solid and nice quality. I put them together myself, my husband who is a construction worker was very impressed. Everything is labeled so it was easy to follow the instructions and put it together. I have had to send steps back in the past because my dog is afraid of them and she is accustomed to jumping off and on a bed in the spare room to look out of the window. These fold up nicely and can slide under the bed. Real nice, real happy with them and, more importantly, so is my dog!. ps - my husband tried to step on one of the steps on almost broke it - so only use for the dog (or cat). Looks nicer in person than in the picture.

PROS: This Portable Folding Pet Stairs is an absolutely beautiful piece of furniture with beautiful craftsmanship that will look great in any room including your bedroom. It is very, very sturdy and has a weight restriction of 80 lbs. In addition, the height of the steps and the incline on the ramp are just right for any size animal and IS NOT overly steep like other ramps on the market. Another great feature of the Pet Stairs is that it folds down very nicely for storage, travel, etc. Don't be discouraged by the description that says EASILY ASSEMBLED because you only need to assemble the "legs on the front and back of the ramp. You will need a screwdriver for this step and although the instructions say 30 minutes ... it took me an hour. My suggestion is that Pawland wouldl ship the Pet Stairs "COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED" because there are so many reasons why customers may not be able to do even a simply assembly of adding the legs to the ramps. I haven't seen anything on the web as sturdy as the PAWLAND PET STAIRS with such a great incline and even though I had a couple of problems, I wanted to make it work.CONS: The height of the ramp is 19.5" but this is only true if you are using the steps. When you convert to a ramp . . . only the tip of the board is 19.5" and the portion that your pet would use is about 15". I have a new mattress that is 18" so my bed is 26" from the floor. Because the Pet Stairs was too low, I went to the big box lumber store and purchased a 4x4x8 piece of lumber and had it cut into two pieces that were 19.5" long. I place one underneath the legs of the front and the rear of the ramp. In this way, I increased the height of the Pet Stairs from 19.5" to 23.5". I have a 10lb Shih Tzu so in addition to the 4x4 wood, I added an additional 2" high piece of wood to the front of the step to make it easy for him to get up to the first step (see pic 3).In conclusion, despite my CONS, I think it is the best Pet Stairs/Ramp on the market.

Very disappointed since right out of the box the top step was broken off the hole hinge and a small piece off the top side was splintered off too. I still put it together to see if it would work since my 12 pound Yorkipoo just tore his CCL (ACL) and needed something right away.He seemed comfortable with the large shallow steps, but the incline in ramp status is a bit too steep so he could not quite manage that on 3 legs. He will probably have surgery next month so it will be months before he can weight bear on his right rear leg again. I'm just exchaging it for now with the hope that the replacement will be better built and come as quick as this one did, but now I have to dissemble it and repackage and then wait a few more days. Meanwhile I rigged up a plane 5 foot board (plank) 16 inches wide and wrapped it with a blanket then anchored it on the couch cushion- that works great for the couch since the incline is so gradual and only 16 inches high. The platform is 60 inches long. This works in the living room but does not work for the bed since the incline is too steep once I lift it to the bed which is 26 inches high. So the wide deep steps on this unit would work on the bed as long as the hinges support the steps and don't collapse as this one did right out of the box. It is expensive considering the flaws, but size and shape of stairs seem just right so I'll try again. I'll follow up once I get the exchanged one and just hope it works!
