Love these stairs!  I obsessed before I made the purchase, but am so glad I spent the extra money on these.  I've bought two other types of dog stairs in the past and both were epic fails for their flimsiness.  Here stairs are very well built.  The carpet treads are pinkish, but in a very pale way-- not girly or obnoxious. They do take up some floor space, so measure before you place your order.  Super product!
