my dog has just come off of 8 weeks of crate rest and is not allowed to jump up on anything. prior to this she would jump up on the couch to sleep. the ramp is sturdy, well built and solid yet light weight enough for me to handle. i have other pet gear products including a stroller and have found the product to be good. the only thing is that i find with my dog is she needs training to go up a ramp which will come in time.
