I have 3 rescued cats & 1 rescued dog, therefore, my cats have to eat on the counter because the dog "loves" cat food. One of my cats is overweight, and I could tell that jumping up and down was causing her pain, so I ordered this Easy Step to assist her. She used it from day 1, and another cat loves to "hide" underneath the steps, so I consider this to be one of the best purchases I've ever made for my "pet family". I no longer worry about her having to jump and the pressure on her joints!  Good, sturdy product, great price!  
Thank you Wayfair.
