We and our little Maltese dog love these stairs. He is able to easily get up to our 26 inch bed. It took a little coaxing to get him to use it, but now he uses it all the time. I will say that there are some wood pieces (i.e., stair riser) that you can tell cannot handle too much weight, but as long as you use the stairs as it was meant to be used, it should be fine. Overall, we are happy we the piece.
