These stairs were made for my in-law's pitbull. She is old, and has arthritis, so she could no longer jump up on the bed by herself. It took a few tries to get her to walk up the steps, but now she uses them daily and is back snoring the night away nudged in between my father- and mother-in-law :). The steps were made 6 months ago and still look good and work very well.
The reason I made them myself is that most the pet steps online and in stores had complaints about them not being sturdy enough or that the steps weren't wide enough for a large dog.
