Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Please, folks, if you can afford better made wooden pet steps, buy them. I purchased this very model & it is not safe. It’s too light meaning it easily slides out of place. Further it won’t stay open & collapses while your pet is using it. Caveat emptor: let the buyer beware. Remember that you get exactly what you pay for! If you are shopping for this, it’s obvious that you care about the safety of your pet(s). So this is NOT the product you want. I didn’t purchase this to be stingy. As a senior on social security; I am often stuck choosing between food and basic necessities. My pets are my primary concern.. (Like the needs of children.) If you have a bad back like I do, lightweight products can be a big help. Nearly all of my dogs come from homes where they’ve learned to jump up & down from the floor to the furniture. Being tiny & frail, my chihuahuas are so susceptible to all sorts of orthopedic & spinal injuries, so I trained them to climb and not jump. However, these steps aren’t safe. My dogs are my world which would be shattered if something happened to them, especially if that something was easily preventable. I wish I had saved my money to buy a safer, more sturdy alternative. This item must be kept in place with some kind of stop like a brick. I jammed the legs open after it collapsed while my littlest one was climbing it. Even though he came through with flying colors, I nearly had a coronary!
