This item is very nice except for that you need 6 hands to put it together.  AND once put together, please do not move it around very much or it will slowly loosen and you will not be able to access some of the locking screws to tighten it again.  Bought it for my husband who has had issues with balance and getting into our high bed.  He found his feet slipped too much on the surface, so we had to find something else. One might put rubber grips on the step with adhesive to help with that but it would ruin the looks of this piece.
