I was excited to receive the item for my 11lb Maltese, however I was disappointed when I took it out of the box and set it out for her to use. It is not sturdy at all and tips to the side if she goes up the steps too far on either side instead of more in the middle.  In my opinion, this item is just not sturdy enough or worth the price. I would search for something with more structure.

Cons: Not sturdy
