I needed something to help my 5 pound dog jump up on the furniture.(yes, she is allowed.) my living area is small and a ramp for steps didn’t work. I thought this little proof pouf would be just perfect. She is learning to jump on that and then onto the sofa. I wasn’t sure what I was getting but when I opened it up and took it out of the box it is so well-made and so nice looking that I love it I know it probably seems funny just saying that I would spend that much money for my dog, but she’s worth every penny and it’s nice to have something really nice looking in my living room instead of steps or a ramp. Very well-made. Very cute and very substantial. I’m so glad I bought it.
