How is this a stair/ramp combo? It appears to be only a ramp. Is it reversible with steps on the underside?

It's only a ramp. My dog might not have done the stairs but she goes right up and down this ramp. She's 16 years old and is starting to have joint problems so this was such a great find. just be patient and use treats to entice them to go up and down. You may even have to put their paws on the top of it when training them to go down it. Once they figure it out they'll do great.

That STEP to get up on the ramp is 5" tall. I have the same problem with my babies. One is smaller than the step and the others are too old. So, I bought the ramps built by the same people, Pet Gear. They go right on the floor and you can use the ramp folded in half or if you need a longer one to get up on your bed or couch, you can unfold it and use it full length. They are GREAT ! Of course you could always just add a piece of plywood cut to size and cover it with carpet and screw it on the bottom of the ramp so that they didn't have that first 5" step. Hope this helps.

I have the 2 step ramp...dimensions are exact, very sturdy and easy to use! I like it and it looks nice, like a piece of furniture, took my terrier a while to trust using it (super stubborn) but he figured it out. Cats love it too! My bed is high also, that's what I got it for...good luck! Ps: I have a yorkie if that helps

You could slide this up the stairs yourself depending on the size you are ordering, we had a full and it was easy to slide, but needed two people to lift it. Once out of the box it's in double plastic and easier to slide and move.

it is neither. however, the stairs are not unattractive. two years on, our senior cat uses them daily.

No, it is too short. I used it very nicely for 2 steps. You may be able to put it on 3 steps but that is fairly steep.

There are wooden slats underneath the carpeted steps that pivot upright and fit into slots to keep the steps in stair position. If you fold down those wooden slats, the steps lie flat and create a ramp.If you need to fold the whole unit flat, you would just put it in the ramp position and then fold the legs underneath it.

It's not supposed to drop off steps. I watched a video on YouTube that showed it backing up when it encountered a stairway.

I turn it around backwards and sit on it w/ my feet on the floor. It is a comfortable height. I don't think you could sit on the bottom step. It is recessed halfway under the top step.

I wanted the ramp for his ease of climbing into the bed without having to worry about "missing a step"!. He can run or walk right on up or down without worry. Very Pleased with the quality of the ramp! No experience with the stairs....that seemed to defeat my purpose of why I wanted the ramp. Hope this helps ~

I have 2 sets of stairs. There are 4 steps each with a 4" rise. Don't know why this photo shows 3, maybe there is one for a larger dog.

I think that it would be difficult to use this on the stairs. The walking surface is slippery-we are using carpet runners as our 90 lb labradoodle has traction issues. I think the stairs might be too steep and am not sure how you could fasten it to the so the ramp doesn't slip.

The legs on the top adjusts to be level with the top of the ramp and the step and the bottom edge is tapered to meet the floor. Hope this helps you. My mom finds it easy to use her wheelchair or use her walker to go up and down the ramp

The incline might be a bit steep depending on the height of the steps. The longer the ramp however would decrease the incline.

Yes, the slide/ladder can be reversed. Also, the bed is good for the price.

I have two yorkies and the ramp is a bit easier for them to walk up. But it's not much different than the stairs. Just not as high a step as the stairs.

There is a "leg" which swings out from the back of the unit and sits in a small clip under the counter. The leg assembly normally lies flat against the back. Yes the top can flip down. I had a lot of problems with the quality of this product but at least they sent me the required parts immediately after I emailed them. Also, the inside isn't very deep. I mostly keep dog food, treats, etc in it. You can put pots and pans in there or small appliances but don't expect to anything overly large in it. Overall for the price it was a pretty good deal and gives us much needed extra counter space plus a small seating area in the kitchen.
