This thing has solved so many problems for me!  My dog wont use stairs because shes a princess and apparently cannot be bothered to use them.  She also isnt a fan of a ramp.  Yes she is small, no she isnt injured...  she is just difficult which is all of my doing!  She does like to jump up on soft and padded things though!  Enter this storage bench!  Was able to put it up against the bed in the spare room and she immediatly jumped up onto it and smiled at me...  not really, but I knew what she meant!  It also took 1.7 seconds to "build" and now I have room to store all of my spare ben linens for said spare bedroom so when guests come over they dont need to lay on dog bedding!  Win WIN WIN!
