Love these pet stairs! They're easy to fold up for when we're not using them, and easy to unfold and open when we need them. I have a dog who is getting up in years and doesn't always want to jump up onto the couch (nor do I want her to exert herself like that), and I also have a puppy who is still a little small to jump up. These steps help with both dogs! They're sturdy and I feel safe letting them use them. They also are easy to clean off, we just wipe them down and they're good. Recommended.
