3.0 out of 5 stars It's fine..., September 20, 2006

Not sure why the ALL CAPS review below is so dramatic. I have two basset hounds -- long, heavy, large breed dogs -- and both of them use this with no issues. It assembles easily and the cover fits over it fine.

Yes, it is lightweight (which the product description tells you, so that should be no surprise) so yes, if a dog wanted to play with it as a toy, they could. Here's a thought: Don't let it do that!

While it is lightweight, it has no-skid pads on the bottom that hold it steady while the dog is climbing it. Even on hardwood floors, which is what I have in my bedroom. My 60 lb basset hounds climb up it with no problems, no slipping. I spent a few minutes teaching them how to use it, and they're fine.

The only problem I really have with it is that it is pretty low when assembled, only three steps (the packaging and pictures on TV often show the 4-stair version) so if you have a taller bed or couch, you would want to buy the additional 4th stair and cover. The package I bought included an order form to do that inside of it, so that's fairly easy, though I do think that the manufacturer should offer that as an accessory that you can buy through the retailers (like Amazon or Target) just as it sells the regular product.

Ultimately, you get what you pay for. This is a pretty inexpensive product with average quality -- you aren't getting a fine piece of furniture, but I have NOT found it in unsafe or defective in any way. It functions fine. However, if you're looking for something super heavy and solid and not lightweight/portable, then this is NOT the item for you. Go ahead and shell out the extra $50 for the big wooden steps. There are a ton of those on Amazon.

2 happy Chihuahuas here will testify this is a nifty product. 3-step version is fine for average chair or sofa (get the 4th step for a bed) - easy to put together and sturdy enough for toy or medium breeds.

We bought two of the 4-steps about a year ago and are buying two more for our three shih tzus. The steps are lightweight, sturdy (we break them down and take them on road trips for use in the hotels/motels). They are easily assembled and disassembled. The girls have had no problems using the steps and one of them likes to hide under the set in the family room for her afternoon naps. We're buying more for grandma's house, etc. Our dogs use these steps many, many times a day and we're pleased how well the product holds up to what has to be called 'excessive' use by our two one-year-olds playing tag hours on end, using these steps. A good product at a good price. We're buying more.
