This pet step is rich in color, and coincide with any room decor weather or not your room is upscale or not.  The only downfall about this particular stair step is, it's a little on the "light" side. I have found that I have to put it back into it's place after most uses.  I didn't have to do this with the prior step in which it was made with heavy duty plastic. I put the old one slightly moved over for window use, my cat is 20 years old.  No directions were needed to put this puppy together.  And that was great because the product didn't come with any words just pictures.  My bedroom is on the upside of my model do over, I might haven to switch the steps around, or not...
