The steps are very good looking.  The picture is very representative to the actual step.  The step unit is very sturdy and is able to hold a 300-pound person.  The compartment is a nice feature, which I was unaware of when I ordered the steps.  It was also very easy to assemble.

Pros: easy to assemble
Cons: I would have prefer a diffent wood tone and/or finish so it would match the bed better.
