This was the perfect find. These stairs are very sturdy and nice looking. I have a solid 35lb 12 year old beagle-bulldog mix and stability was a must. The stairs sit parallel with the bed so Lula uses the top step as more of a base platform to get into the bed. It would have been nice if the carpet covered the entire top step for this reason. Her nails would slip on the outer edge of the top step. We decided to stick large felt circular furniture protectors around the outer edge and that resolved the issue. I highly recommend these stairs.
