It's beautiful, sturdy, looks and feels durable, and matches with my bedroom perfectly. I didn't have any issues with it so far with my 9 pounds Pomeranian fur baby. The only reason why I didn't give it a five star, is because altho the steps have an anti-slip material on them, they're thin and actually they're somewhat slippery material. It would be risky for older pets, so I suggest getting anti slippery pads and adhering them to the steps.
