I was really excited about this.  My dog not so much.  I think if it had some kind of traction on it instead of the sandpaper like surface it would have worked for us.  He gets a few steps up and then just slides back down because there's nothing to grip on to.  He's a small dog so maybe it would work better for bigger dogs with more weight on it.  It's a very nice product.  Very lightweight and looks great.  I'll be trying to figure out a way to make it work for him because he needs help to get up on the bed as he is an older boy.
