I got these steps for my miniature dachshund. They are wide enough that she can go down them sideways. Most bed stairs are not high enough for a normal bed. These are just right. She can safely get into and out of bed now. Very happy with this purchase. We have had the 2 step version of this for several months in our livingroom and upstairs for our daughters platform bed. These are a very high quality product. Easy to assemble.  You should know that each tread is not flat so some dogs ( our 2 chihuahuas ) are scared of the slope of these stairs.
