Freedom To Move About The Cabin,
By SerenityFL (Miami) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beige 4 Steps Pet Dog Cat Step Stairs (Misc.)
I actually got this for my cat. I've had my cat for 12 years now and in the past 6 months, she has been showing signs of struggle when trying to jump up to my bed. Some days she makes it, some days, she just doesn't have it in her and sits by my bed meowing to be let up. Sometimes it's not easy for her to get down, either but getting down is easier for her though, than getting up.
The more I saw her struggle, sometimes with her paws on the top of the bed, her reaching and trying so hard, the more I felt horrible and guilty. So that was it. It was time to get her some steps. I got this as a gift although I did all the research before choosing these steps. I had read through several products reviews and saw that many pet steps available were cheap plastic covered in cheap, thin material and many people were disappointed. The last thing I wanted was cheap plastic that would break or cheap carpet material that the pets would destroy in a matter of days. I kept going through the pages here at Amazon and found a few that I liked. This one was chosen out of the three because it was available and the price was great. I looked real hard at this product over several days and decided, based on the weight alone, that it must be made of wood. I figured it was like a cat scratching post; it used the same material. I received it and put it together. The first thing I noticed is that my guesses were right. It is not cheap plastic. The base and steps are wood and covered in a nice carpeting material. The stems, (I guess they're called), could be very hard cardboard or hard plastic tubes, (not sure), but are not in the least bit flimsy whatsoever. I put the steps on the stems and then screwed the stems in to the base and it was a nice, secure, snug fit. There is no wobbling at all and the entire structure is incredibly sturdy. Putting it together took less than 5 minutes. I brought it over to the bed and it was the perfect height. I have a regular bed, box spring, mattress on a frame as well as memory foam mattress topper AND a pillow top mattress topper. My bed gets a little high with all of that but the steps went right to the top. I went and got the cat and showed it to her. She sniffed around for a minute so I picked her up and put her on the steps. That's all that was required. She took to the steps right away. She now knows that she can get up and down from the floor to bed and bed to floor whenever she darn well pleases and does not need to meow at me every 5 minutes when she's changed her mind, yet! again! She seems very content that she can do this on her own again and that's the biggest reward of all. Bonus!! The other cats enjoy these steps as well. They don't need them but they love winding around under them, hopping on them, using them as a jumping off point to the cat tree a few feet away and the cat I bought this for likes to sit on the top step, towering over the other cats on the floor and swatting at them as they pass by. Through all of this, the steps don't move an inch. Perfect. Edit-December 27, 2010: In August, I found myself the owner of two abandoned puppies. They are now about 8 months old. One is smaller, about 20 pounds and very dainty. The other is about 35-40 pounds and a clown. At times, I do allow them to sit up on the bed with me while I'm on the computer and they, too, use the steps to get up on the bed. The dainty dog walks gracefully up the steps, just like the cat does. The clown dog thunders up these steps like the floor was on fire when I tell him to "get on the bed" yet through all of this, these steps have continued to hold up well. The material can take the traffic, it's easy to clean any accumulated fur, and despite clown dog flinging himself up and down the steps, there are no tears, the structure is still very secure and steady and it continues to act just as well as it did on the first day. I continue to recommend these steps and am still delighted with the purchase.

Surprisingly heavy duty,

This review is from: Beige 4 Steps Pet Dog Cat Step Stairs (Misc.)
These cat steps surprised me. At the low price, I assumed it would be very cheap quality, but it's not. For some reason, they made these steps so strong that I'm pretty sure they could hold my weight (and I'm fat). Also, there are metal fittings where the pieces fit together with very heavy duty bolts. This thing would have no problem supporting the heaviest dog securely. The quality of the carpet covering, fit and finish, etc. is better than I expected. They even included in the box an allen wrench to assemble it. You gotta like free tools!
The top step is 22 inches high, which is the same as our pretty high bed, so it's tall enough. The only thing I didn't like was that the bottom step is 10 inches high, which is a touch higher than ideal for our older kitty. (It's hard to see in the product photo, but if you look closely you'll notice that the distance from the floor to the first step is a bit more than the distance between the other steps.) But after thinking about it, I see why they did it that way. The bottom step is just high enough so that a kitty can crawl under it. This allows the area under the steps to be a little play area. If you need tall pet steps, our binkie says "buy this kind". Or maybe she wants me to scoop her box, it's kinda hard to tell.

This review is from: Beige 4 Steps Pet Dog Cat Step Stairs (Misc.)
I got these stairs for my cat. I agree with the other posters that it is very sturdy and made pretty well. However, I was disappointed by the quality of the material. I was expecting carpet, and it was covered in a very cheap material. My cat definately won't be able to use it as a scratching post. You can feel the wood right through the material. But we can always cover it with a better material or even carpet. Other than that, it is made well and was delivered very promptly.
