Dog Stairs with Storage 18" H, 3-Step Wider Dog Steps for Large/Medium/Small Older Dogs Cats, Folding Sturdy Pet Stairs Climbing Bed or Couch, Ramp for Car Up to 200 lbs, Smok Gray, No Condo

Coming out of the box, I didn't have great expectations, but I was wrong. What appear to be numerous flimsy individual pieces form a relatively strong unit once put together and attached using the side zippers. Easy to assemble: Unfold each "box" and insert the base (these may be hidden in the lids, but there is a ribbon on each that gives them away), zip to the next larger (or smaller) size. Repeat until all four units are attached, then add the lids. What you end up with are four relatively sturdy, with a modest rise between each, soft tops, and quiet cloth so as not to produce a scary scratching sound. I say relatively sturdy as they are more than strong enough for my 75 lb dog to confidently use, but no, they would not make a good fallout shelter.My dog has a hurt paw (the reason for the purchase). I tried a ramp that was covered with a ballistic nylon sort of fabric, and it was somewhat slick and her claws made a scary scratching sound. She had to be bribed to use it. In the case of these steps, I showed her how to use them one time bribing her with a treat, but after that she took to them like a fish to water.Oh, the base doesn't easily slide either, which was a concern.Finally, each box can be used as storage, which would probably reduce the chance of sliding even further. I am filling mine with dog toys to help clean up clutter and hopefully give my pup a nice familiar scent to associate with the steps.I like this purchase and would recommend it for a "big" small dog, a medium-sized dog, or a "small" large dog. Say sizes ranging from 2-4 on a five-point scale. My dog is 75 lbs, and I consider that a 3.5 on my scale.I am pleased with this purchase, and the price is a value. I have not loaded any photos, as the ones on the listing are accurate.

These are well made and sturdy. I weigh around 160 pounds and walked up these stairs. I could feel a little give if I stepped in the center of the lid so I mostly kept my weight to the edges. I also use them to sit on when I'm putting my boots on in the morning and they are completely stable.These were so easy to put together. The zippers were a little awkward at first but I figured it out after the first one and the rest were super easy and smooth working. I read several reviews when looking for stairs like these about the chemical/new smell so as soon as they were delivered I unboxed and unwrapped them, set each individual one up and then put them and their lids separately out on my covered patio to air out. If you've ever bought those canvas-ish collapsible bins for your closet, they smelled like those do new. They aired out for around 4 hours before it was bedtime and then I brought them in and fully set them up. I haven't noticed a strong smell coming off of them after they aired out.My dogs, who were used to stairs by the bed, took to these with no issues and in fact the one dog who usually prefers the ramp has started to use these stairs.I picked this set because the tallest level has a bigger a surface than similar stairs which gives my small senior dogs a great place to pivot to get on the bed. I appreciate the storage space within. I have several washable pee pads and dog blankets that it is nice to have a place to put away where they are still easy to get to. A king size blanket fits easily in the tallest level (of the 4 level no condo) and I have an extra king size mattress pad in the next biggest level.I took a chance on a used - very good option. The box was beat up, but the product inside was still in the wrap that looked like it came from the manufacturer.If you are looking for the pieces that go in the bottom of each section, they are nested inside the lids.I also ordered a similar set from a different manufacturer at the same time and prefer these, primarily because the tallest level is more square than rectangular and my pups seem to like that more.

Purchased for a 50lb beagle. It only took 3 minutes and zero tools to put it together. I wanted to make sure it was safe form him to use, so I (am over 150 lbs) climbed up and jumped on each step. The stairs are very sturdy, durable, and easy to climb.I love that they can also be used for storage. We can easily store the queen size sheet (that we throw over the comforter to keep his short hairs that fall out from poking us) in the smallest stair. The middle and/or top stair could easily hold a pillow, thick dog blanket, or a folded bed. Another great feature is that the stairs zip together for stability and functionality. It’s also created so the incline is easy for the beagle to walk up or down with ease, confidence, and comfort. After he gets 100% comfortable with the stairs we may take the smallest of them away to add extra walking space for us around the bed. We currently have the stairs placed at the bottom of the bed. This unit would work equally as well for cats or other animals that need assistance getting into bed, a car, a truck, etc..I am pleased with the purchase and would purchase again. If I change my opinion I will edit this review. But for now I give it 5 stars.

While I love having these storage stairs for our puppy and the storage is great, the fabric quality isn't the best. The fabric split and frayed at the corners and collects dog hair and dust and shows everything but it's easy enough to run the vacuum over a couple times... the price was right, the size was what I needed and it's functional. I'd buy it again but I'd love it is it held up in quality over time.
