Our dog, a small Yorkie, was scared to death of these stairs.  He has used a step stool for years, but has recently had more trouble getting up on the bed during the night.  Hoped this would help, but after a week or 2 of trying we had to remove the Mr. Herzher's stairs and go back to the stool.  Now it sits in the basement of no use.  Since it is put together with glue, I assume there is no way to return it for a refund - so, we're out [$] for nothing.If there is some way to rectify this, I'd love to hear it.Made a big mistake buying this item...Bill
