I bought this for my 12 year old pug mix who started to have some difficulties getting up the bed. We have a taller bed, so we were looking for a taller staircase and this one just does the trick. My dog doesn't really use it much for some reason, but this is very sturdy for a dog his size and it's wide enough so he won't fall to the side. I also like that we can fold it down if we don't use it. Good quality product overall.
