I really wanted this to be great
Definitely light weight, easy to fold, small enough it doesn’t take up much space in your vehicle and the steps are large enough for my dog to actually stand on them. It had to be used in the trunk of my vehicle- mid sized SUV- the side doors don’t open wide enough for them to be placed in the back seat. But they definitely seemed stable and the grip/cushions on the edges kept my car from being scratched by the frame. Unfortunately I ended up returning these. I do think the one I got had a flaw- the inside material on the second from bottom step was broken but being a lower step I was willing to keep them despite that- the other steps were fine. What I didn’t like was the material that covered the steps, it was much too slick for my dog. He is large (115 lbs) but I was able to get him to use the steps with some treat enticement. He just couldn’t get confident because they were too slick. He has arthritis in his back half and without decent grip on the steps they were just too slippery for him with his weak legs. If they could put some kind of rubbery/no slip material on the steps these would be absolutely fantastic.

Heaven Sent!
My dog loves riding in the car and I enjoy taking him with me. However, his joints no longer allow him to jump in or out of the car and my back no longer lets me lift him in and out of it. I saw another dog owner use these steps in the parking lot of a veterinary hospital. He let me try them for my dog. Voila! Problems solved. I jumped on Amazon and ordered them before leaving the parking lot. I wish they were a bit lighter but they are not nearly as heavy as a ramp and take up far less space in the car when not in use. My dog took to them instantly. Another big plus is they adapt to tighter spaces (parallel parking).

Rating not true
I believe it says 150lbs or more. My 80 lb Mut has broken one of the steps getting in and out. It has also torn away on that step in addition too the broken step. I had a grass too one that never broke but left it somewhere. Needs a new weight limit, maybe 50 lbs. Not big dog approved!!!

Last tread slides…
I really like this product but I noticed that the very top tread slides when my dog steps on it. So every time I have to hold that last tread to keep it from sliding and bending down.

It... might work for you
Pros: It will hold 150lb (not much more though); it is light and compact when folded; it is sturdy, but not quite enough, because...Cons: My old dogs hate it, even though in their younger years they would climb even a step-ladder no problem. Maybe using fabric to cover inter-step spaces (to avoid dogs stepping though and provide illusion of safety), and making the ladder less wobbly could solve it...Conclusion: While I am still able to lift my dogs (80 and 125Lb) by hand, I'd rather do that than to force them to use this ladder.

Great for big dogs getting in a tall truck
We have a truck that’s just too tall for a ramp. These steps are perfect for our big German Shepherd. They fold up easily into a tidy cube.

Well constructed, Dogs are using it; suspicious of the weight rating
I have 2 small, short-legged old dogs (one 10 lb, one 25 lb) and recently purchased a travel trailer that has a very high rear bed (36"). I can pack them in and out of it, but would rather they do it themselves. One dog is very independent, and is reluctant for me to pick her up to put her back on the floor. But I don't want her jumping down on her own. We'll end up with a broken leg, or blown disc.I tried one of the telescoping ramps. I figured the stubborn old girl would prefer a ramp, since she has refused to use any dog stairs that I have acquired for the bedroom at home. (They have been using an old ottoman to hop in and out of bed). But that is a no-go for either of them. So I thought I would try this 6-step and see what happened.They are actually using it. It hasn't taken too much encouragement (about a half hour, twice, a couple of hot-dogs chopped up into bits) and they are getting there. Still not thrilled, but they are more and more willing to use it.The big difference I see between these and most of the others I have looked at, or tried, is the measurement of the run and rise of the steps. Almost all of the others have a very short run compared to the rise. Even a lot of other folding steps don't extend as far as these, which makes for a very short landing zone. I Bought the 6-step version, because I could extend it right out to it's full length and get the total height I needed for that bed, and create a gentle slope and wide landing zone (low rise and wide run). That makes it workable. So the key is to extend it a long as possible, to make a gentle slope with short rise and long run.I find that the first tread isn't the most sturdy, and if it isn't sitting solidly on the floor on all 4 metal cross-pieces, if they hit that tread right at the front edge, it tends to lift the far end up! That is probably only an issue in this case at home, where it is really too much total height (27"?) for the bed (24"). Right now I have a small piece of wood underneath the front lip of that tread (see the second picture). I think I will also put something underneath the centre, to eliminate, or minimize "bowing", though they are both small enough, i don't think that will be an issue. I doubt very much that I would want to trust it with the maximum weight that is stated. Not unless my dogs were very gentle and light-footed on the stairs. I know I wouldn't walk up them. But for up to 40 or 50 lb, I wouldn't hesitate.Right now I have it set up in the bedroom for "training purposes" - I am considering getting the 5-step version for home and leaving the 6-stepper in the trailer. I want them to get used to seeing it, and using it, before I bring it into the trailer. But so far so good.Edit: Update after 1 week. Both dogs have adapted very well to the stairs. After the first 3 days, no more hot dog encouragement needed. In fact, the old grey dog (who is quite cat-like in her aversion to changes in her environment!) seems now to prefer it to the ottoman. It is obvious (to me at any rate) that it is easier on her back and short weird legs than the jump to and from the ottoman, and she seems to have finally realized that as well. So for those of you that may be having a bit of trouble convincing your dogs to try them - don't go too quickly. Set it up somewhere that they will get used to seeing it, place little bits of something awesome on the first couple of stairs to begin to chip away at the scary factor, and go slow. And really, I still wouldn't put a 150 lb dog on these. I wouldn't go beyond 50 lb or more personally, unless your dog was really light on his/her feet. If they walk up, then I think you're OK. Running up may be another story.

Good Product overall; Not as sturdy as expected; But the Best one I have used so far.
Product is lightweight and folds out and up easily. It looks to have quality materials and probably is however, My dog weighs about 83 to 88 Lbs. This item is supposed to support 200lbs and it is bowing and bent slightly under her weight?? Additionally it is difficult to use to access a rear vehicle door into he back seat of our Truck or SUV. Due to the doors not opening far enough to keep it straight. Finally the ground piece could use something like 2 compressible footings to stabilize the steps on uneven ground.ALL This being said out of all steps I have tried, and I have tried many this one is one of the best so far. Also the usability/engineering issues are common to all the previous products that we have tried including most ramps.

Not for heavy dogs
The media could not be loaded. Bought the Upgraded pet dog step b4 this & it was good but not sturdy for my 130lbs dog.This one promised to suport her weight: Not so as already top step moves slides on the track, toward the foam grip handles.Dogs foot slipped into opening & now dog is afraid of the steps.Disappointing, how cheap the actual steps or run portion is. Handles are thin foam cover & they slide.Frame is great & it stores well in the truck..

Is as advertised.
Took a bit for our 170lb dog to use it but after he got up the first time he had no problems after. Held his weight and was comfortable going up and down.

Definitely does not hold up to 200lbs
I have an 80lb GSD and the first time she climbed the stairs two broke. Not sturdy at all. Very disappointed in this product. Great concept though- folds nicely for storage in your vehicle and is not very heavy.
