Are the UNDER-sides of each of the platforms covered, or is it bare-wood? Also, the "faux fur".... seems slippery?

Under side of each section is covered... Just asked my cat, she claims te "faux fur" provides good grip...

The under sides are not covered. Bit you can't really see them.. Our cats have not had any problems with the texture of the tower

The undersides of the smaller platforms are covered, the larger ones that you can't see are not covered. Bear in mind that we have a slightly different model than this one. The faux fur isn't slippery its more like thin Sherpa lining you would find lining a coat. Its not deep like shag carpet but it does vacuum up nicely. Hope that helps.

The material wraps around the bottom about an inch and then the rest is bare wood. The fur is not slippery my cats absolutely love this 'tree'

The undersides of the two main platforms are bare wood, but the undersides of the two high little risers are fully covered. The faux sheep's wool is not too slippery, my clawed cats climb right up the sides.

funny you should ask, I was actually looking at it closely last night. It's smooth in that it's coated, but it's not smooth like other products of this nature are (for instance Ikea products which have that slippery smooth quality). it has a slight grain, but the grain isn't really a wood texture, it's more very, very slightly textured. Overall I would say no grain is visible, but it's not perfectly smooth to the touch.

It's a fabric material with a tab at each corner to tuck under the bed. I haven't had any problems at all with it sliding.

It seems that the designer of the bed doesn't think a guard rail is needed -- the steel frame of the springs should give it enough structural rigidity. However, I wouldn't like that frame exposed, and so when that time comes (my granddaughter is only 10 mos old right now), I plan to just fashion a piece of wood, shaped with a router to a nice curve and stained, to serve to cover the exposed spring frame so it looks like it's a proper piece of the bed.

I wish I had a good answer but I haven't been able to get my Morkie and Yorkie to use the ramp. (My fault for not taking time to train teach them how!) It does have a low pile carpet surface and I don't think it will be slippery.

No the back isn't slip proof and I've actually dropped it a couple times, fur to it being slippery!

The rails and footboard are fabric covered but not padded. This bed is gorgeous though. You can't beat the price and I got it 4 days after ordering. You'll love it!

It's wood with a grooved plastic covering which helps keep soft/slippery garments from sliding off.

The bottom side of mine is smooth and the top side is a matte type surface.Works for me and I have used it this way for 6 months with no problems.A very high quality product that does not slide around on my hardwood floor.

I would say no....perhaps a stain but that's about it...The rails are not perfectly smooth

Good question. I had to lean it over & feel the bottom to find out... It is wood that has ridges in it. I have mine on carpet so it isn't a problem. You may wanna buy rubber or silicone grips for the leg bottoms if you want to put this on anything but carpet so it doesn't slip.

Hi! The underside is hollow with a strut in the middle for support. There are rubber pieces on the bottom corners(6 in all ) for non-skid. I have had no problem with our stairs sliding at all and Lewis is a hefty 60 lb. bassett hound. I hope this helped.

We got this cover in tan. The up side that your pet touches is a soft canvas material. I can tell it will stand up to lots of wear. It is not slippery. The underside is a quilted black material.

They slip on wood a bit but, I sort of started walking to make up for it. I only have wood flooring in a few rooms of my house so it doesn't really bother me.

It looks like it is cleverly arranged corrugated cardboard surrounded by one large piece of corrugated cardboard. Let me tell you, though, it feels like wood it is that hard and sturdy. I purchased mine for my 75# basset hound whose legs are too short to jump onto my bed. She uses these no problem. Neither she nor the steps are wobbly, they are extremely supportive. Also the covering on it is really soft and their angle is not too much where she is scared to go down. I have a couple of different steps at my house on various pieces of furniture for her and this one, for the height I needed, is the best for her - I tried a couple different ones that did not satisfy. I highly recommend! It looks like it is cleverly arranged corrugated cardboard surrounded by one large piece of corrugated cardboard.

The legs have a hard plastic end. They seem smooth but to be doubly sure to protect the floor, you might want to use felt on the bottom of the leg.

It isn't slippery but we find it to be very unstable, will stick to the traditional hammocks without the wooden braces in the future. The material has been easy to take care of and looks good, but it isn't in the direct sunlight in our backyard.
