It's not that the product is bad, my dog just won't use it. She didn't like the looks of it while I assemble it and after it was done she could not be coaxed, forced or convinced to use it. 
 Too bad, I was hoping this would still allow her to sleep on the bed, but seeing as the stais where purchased more so she soulc climb down than climb uo and if se wants doen when I am sleeping, the part in our relationship when she could sleep on my bed has effectively ended.
