My pomeranian, the cherished Queen Floof, turned 12 this year. As a little old lady, she moves a bit slower and has trouble jumping like she used to. Worse still, she hurt her back and was confined to a large kennel for a week and a half so that she could heal. When released from fluffle jail, she was further upset that we tried to keep her off the furniture so that she wouldn't get hurt again by jumping down.
She would have none of that because she is the queen and gets to go where she wants, when she wants.
Now, she was smart enough that she wouldn't jump up. Instead she would bark at us until we picked her up and set her beside us. The problem, though, was that she would jump down if we weren't giving her royal highness her due belly rubs and ear scritches, and even if she hadn't had a hurt back, she's at that age where it's bad for her little knees and hips, too. So we had to try to predict when she would want down and set her down in advance, which we were able to do 95% of the time, but it only takes one bad landing for things to go south.
We got this ramp with hopes that the Queen Floof would use this instead of leaping off furniture. We got one for the couch and one for a chair in another room that she has designated as her own.
It took her a couple days to trust the ramps, but now she goes up and down them without issue! Her back is healed up, she can sit on her throne at her leisure without barking for her humble servants to pick her up, and our stomachs don't lurch when she gets down unexpectedly.
The ramps are fantastic too. They're lightweight, but sturdy, and easy to put together and move. I have stubbed my toes on the ramps a few times, but it's a small price to pay to see my adorable Queen Floof happy and healthy.

Overview
Help maintain and protect your pet's joint health with Easy Step Pet Stairs.
The innovative incline of each step reduces the amount of stairs needed to climb eliminating stress on your pet.
Pets that constantly jump off sofas, beds, and other furniture can place unnecessary strain on the joints which could potentially lead to arthritis. As with any steps some dogs may need training.
Why use a pet stair or ramp?
Pet stairs and ramps help your pet safely get to hard to reach places- and back down from them! Pet Gear pet stairs feature wide, deep steps that give smaller dogs the ability to get their entire body on each platform and offer more stability for large dogs to comfortably climb the stairs. The innovative incline of each step reduces the number of stairs your pet needs to climb, eliminating stress on your pet.
Can the stairs be cleaned?
All of Pet Gear's stairs come with either a removable carpet tread or cover that removes quickly and is machine washable.
How difficult to assemble?
All of Pet Gear's stairs snap together easily- no tools required.

VERY STURDY! White basket not included.
I would describe the durability of this plastic ramp to what you would expect from very large, plastic, children's toys: Outdoor Play House, Kitchen, Tool Center, Ride-On, etc. Think Step # or Little T*k**.There isn't a back side or an underside enclosure on this sturdy ramp. If there were at least a bottom board, it would create an easily moveable, storage space (just pick up and move). I have to move my ramp a couple times a week to keep my wobbly grand-baby from trying to figure out how to crawl up. I have tile flooring. HOWEVER, if your ramp will stay in one place all of the time, that won't be an issue and you could easily store items under the ramp.NEVER STORE dangerous items (medication, poisonous products, choking hazards, strangulation hazards, sharp objects, etc., items that have the potential of making a mess, or items you don't want ruined) as these items could be accessed by children or pets.Per the sticker on the white basket in the pic it measures 13.75 L x 11.38 W x 8.75 H. The white basket is pushed all the way in until its height stops it.Compensating for the basket's taper, in case a no-taper basket is used, I turned the basket upside down to calculate the extra room still available under the ramp for a larger basket (only if the basket's height isn't greater than 8.75".) There are 4" between the white basket and the internal side of the ramp's back, bottom bar. Turning the up-side-down basket 90 degrees, it takes up all of the ramp side to side. There would be no room for a lid. There are 6.75" between the white basket and the internal side of the ramp's back, bottom bar. Just to be sure of fit, these two measurements are slightly under what is actual.At the front of the ramp, there will be a small amount of underneath storage space available. That amount depends on the size used as the main basket.For being on a tile floor, my ramp STAYS IN PLACE pretty well. When there is too much movement, I use a damp cloth to wipe the floor under the ramp and the included anti-slip tabs on the bottom of the ramp to remove dust and debris.Unless you require a super light weight product, don't waste your money buying the washable, zip-off cover with furry / fuzzy steps. Those are likely constructed of cardboard. While cardboard can be sturdier than you might imagine, these types of steps could be ruined if they come into contact with liquid or absorb unpleasant odors.

GREAT!! Just what I needed for my dog with hip issues.

He started having hip issues at the age of about 3 (he's almost 7 now). They X-Ray's showed he potentially has degenerate bone disease. He's been doing well but I can no longer play fetch with him due the pain he gets after... of course he would still go and go if I threw it. It used to be his favorite thing to do. Slow walks now.
So I've been using this for about ... 2 years now? I got it during Covid at some point. The qulity in TOP NOTCH!!! I thought the material on the ramp would tear off, but it's been super sturdy and hasn't come off at all. The assembly is SUPER SIMPLE... pieces pop together like LEGO's. This also makes is VERY easy to dissassemble I imagine (note I haven't taken it apart yet, but it just pops in and out)...so if you need to put it in the car for a trip that should be helpful to know.
The only negative for me was that there is the tiny step up at the base. As I mentioned, my dog is very skittish to things like this. It took quite a while of trying for him to get used to it, but it's no problem now. The problem was he couldn't seem to figure out if he had to jump onto the ramp and had some awkward moments the first few tries. Now he just runs up and down it.
I think it would be better if the step-up at the start of the ramp was no higher than in inch (2 at most)...or no rise at all. He loves his sleeping area on the couch, so to train him at first I blocked off the rest of the couch so he couldn't jump up (the jumping was an issue for his hips). I coaxed him up with treats too. Now he even uses it to do a Yoga stretch on his way down haha.
I took a picture of the ramp against a futon my dog often lazes around on (that's Toby).
