I bought the stairs and a ramp for my aging dog. The stairs are for her to get in to the bed as it is quite high. The stairs have felt on them that make it easy for the dog to feel secure while climbing them. It comes with small rubber stops for the bottom of the stair to secure them on hard floors but these do not work well. You will need to go to your local hardware store to get something more suitable. She climbs them no problem. The first time required just a little encouragement then she did it by herself after. They are light if you need to move them. They are a little wide and take up a bit of room but I suppose this also make them more stable and easier for the dog to maneuver.
