Are the stairs solid and sturdy-i.e., stay in place without slipping, shaking or wobbling as the dog ascends/descends? My dogs are 17 and 35 lbs.

Really don't recommend these stairs for any critters except SMALL dogs and cats. The stairs are only 20" high to begin with and fairly lightweight. Suggest using ramps for your dogs.

We have tile in our home and it does slip when the dogs go up and down. We tied the stairs to our bed and placed a rug underneath and it does just fine. Our dogs we 13 pounds and they do okay with it... Only complaint is that the stairs are narrow and my dogs felt uncomfortable in the beginning. Now, after practice, they constantly use the stairs!

my dogs are the exact same sizes and do just fine! I find that the stairs work better on carpet or a rug than on tile or hardwood. hard surfaces do cause a little slipping.

U should have no problem. U can always put rubber pads from the hardware store if u r worried but should be good.

Hi yes they are solid and will stay in place.Even have carpet like anti slip pads that are on the steps to prevent the dogs from slipping.The stairs will hold your dogs weight.Highly recommend this product!!

My dog is 32 pounds and they were a little wobbly. We could not get him to go up again after the first time. Hope this helps.

Mine are sitting on hardwood floor and do not move when my dachshund goes up or down. She only weighs 12 pounds. I would think you'd be ok with your dogs at 17 and 35 lbs.

Your dogs should be fine, mine do well from a pom up to springer spaniel and have had no problems

It does wobble a bit but its sturdy enough to hold on to. I was concerned about it also after it was installed but it is still stable enough to aid with sitting and rising. Hope this helped. I am glad I made this purchase for my husband even though it moves a bit.

I have a very active Yorkshire terrier who is 8 pounds. I have had no problems with it withstanding his leaps up the stairs onto his cedar chest to look out a window. I have it at 13 inches high. It appears to be made out of studier recycled plastic, easy to put together and has carpet treads on the steps which are removable. the carpet allows them to get a grip on the steps as they go up and down. this will probably handle it for your cat. If you want a higher one they make it with an additional step added. It also supports more weight. I think the one I have goes to 25 lbs.

The step is plastic and snaps together, no fasteners. I would not put a 75 lb dog on it, however it is a sturdy thing, and you might try it. If it shows signs of coming apart, put some screws in it.

I've had mine for 2 years and two toddlers and sometimes a 14 year old jumps on it and it is still going strong. My 90lb dog also likes to sleep on it. I haven't even had to tighten the screws.

I use them for my 45 pound dog. The steps are made of a heavy plastic and weigh no more than five pounds.

Mine is at the top of our main staircase and the dogs don't attempt to pass it, they won't even touch it. So to answer your question; I don't know what it would do under the weight of a large dog. My 70lb guy won't jump up it, but if he did, it would not easily topple over as it is quite sturdy. At first, I thought that I might have to zip tie the gate in place to to the stair rail, but it is heavy enough to stay in place as we open and close the gate. I'd buy another one if I needed it.

Kinda... Our Yorkie does not have a problem going up them at all.... Our other baby is a 13 yrs Rat Terrier, using them without a problem... But she (Rat terrier) just like to jump on the bed with out using the steps... But our Yorkie use them all them and just jumps off the bed.. Not for sure out Narrow you are talking about...

No, these steps are to small for your dog. They are only good for small dogs for up to 20 pounds.

These steps are rock solid. My son loves them and they have given him great confidence when at countertops around the house. As to weight they will support - I've used them as a step stool occasionally and I weigh 225#. I know that isn't recommended by the manufacturer, but they didn't give an inch and I never felt unsteady on them.

My 84 pound lab mix sits on the top stair of these steps without issue. The only thing I would recommend is making sure they are directly against a wall, my dog is much heavier and it wobblesSometimes when he's trying to get comfortable. I would highly recommend these stairs though. My lab and Great Dane mixes use them multiple times a day to jump in my bed, I even use the stairs when getting the dogs into my jeep grand cherokee

I think 27 lbs could be a problem if the dog moves around. These are not built like a regular baby carriage so an active dog over 20 lbs could easily throw it off balance. I have a 13 pound dog with no issues.

yes - while I have smaller dogs - the steps are very sturdy - I am very pleased with the Stairs

Seems to be pretty damn solid. My dog (80 pounds) is constantly jumping up and down from the couches and leaping between the two of them. No signs of wear or stress after a month of abuse.

My dogs are big, but no where near 170 lbs. it took both my dogs some time and working with them for them to understand what the ramp was for, but they are up and down so fast I never noticed if it moved or bounced at all, It's pretty strong and works well. Good luck.

8" deep - 16" across I have small dogs and none of them have a problem with the steps. I would think it would be plenty deep for even a larger dog and I think it holds weights up to 150lbs. There is a slight tilt down of the steps but it has never affected my dogs running up and down it at full speed. Hope this helps

Yes, the floor is solid and very stable. My 100lb Malamute rides in it and is fine.
