I was looking for a product for my arthritic pet that was sturdy and would not wobble when she used it.  These stairs are exactly that.  The quality and construction are excelllent.  I hesitated about the price but I am glad I chose these.  I was pleasantly surprised too when I saw the finish on the wood as it matches our furniture.  I like the handle also, as it makes them easy to move around when I clean and they don't scratch my wood floors.  It took a little coaching but in just a few days my cat now uses them all the time.
