Furhaven Steady Paws Multi-Step Pet Stairs

I have a 3″ foam mattress topper, and this created the need for pet steps for my senior cat. I read online about a lot of different types of steps and these are perfect. Of particular note: 1) It is very easy to assemble; the directions are very clear; you only need 1 tool and that is provided! 2) You have the option of assembling it with 2 or 3 steps. 3) The steps do not extend too far from the bed and thereby cause a trip opportunity for me 🙂 4) The steps are made of wood (not cardboard) and are sturdy. 5) The assembled steps look very nice.

Le quedo perfecto a mi cama, y mis perritos aprendieron rápido a usarlas.

I have a tiny rescue Chihuahua and a tall bed. Some may describe her as a black-hearted, soulless creature, and she sure is hell-bent on guarding her sweet little angel wings, but she is my absolute love, hence me having spent my hard-earned money on stairs so this less than ten-pound dog can continue to sleep directly in the middle of a king-sized bed every night. It’s like she’s mapped out the coordinates to the very exact middle and then somehow quadruples in size. So imagine it’s 2 a.m., and you’re sleeping pretty well, trying hard to not wake yourself up, but you need to shift positions. That is unacceptable to little sleeping beauty. Should you require to move at all, she jumps down off the bed in a huff, only to return one minute later regretting her hot-headed actions, and scratching and whining at the side of the bed, her little eyes offering many apologies to be lifted up and resume ruling over her bed. You can see why we’d like a bit of independence for her when coming and going off the bed. We’ve been given foamy pet steps, tried boxes and different silly configurations of items that would allow her to have the necessary independence to come and go as she pleases at whatever wee hour her little heart desired, but nothing worked, nothing was sturdy enough to give her the confidence to leap up, and nothing was tall enough. This has been going on for at least three or more years. I was again in a cycle of growing weary of her middle of the night habits, and finally decided to dive deeper in the dark underworld of pet steps. It took a little bit, but I found these, available in a three-step model, or four-step model. I measured my bed, and definitely would need the four-step model, and I wasn’t convinced at all that this would still be tall enough for her to jump up, but they were reasonably priced compared to less sturdier, smaller ones, so I took the leap and clicked that “buy now” button. They arrived in a small box, so I was a little worried. Turns out you had to build them, which is a-okay by me. I popped everything out of the box, and inventoried all the parts. The only reason I gave these a four-star initial review is because a washer was missing, so one leg is washerless. I was much too eager to put this bad boy into play, that I wasn’t going to return them or request another – this train was leaving the station and heading to Independent Chi Town. I built them very quickly, was not difficult to put together at all. Took me about 20 minutes between opening the box, putting together and breaking down the box for the recycle bin. I eagerly put the steps in place, the height looked good, the rest was up to my Chi. We jumped up on the bed, which left her begging for admittance. We tapped on the stairs a few times, she put some hesitant paws on one of the steps, then another, and before you know it – she was a pet step expert! We kept putting her back down and making her use the steps to get up, which she didn’t find amusing, but enjoyed the cheering and pets each time she made it back on the bed. They are definitely sturdy enough where she felt comfortable bearing down her weight to make a leap from one step to another and then from the top step to the bed. You can see from the picture how tall our bed is, and these 36″ high stairs are just the right size. FINALLY!!! It’s crazy because people sell their pet steps all over FB Marketplace, and they are usually pretty expensive for used ones, and these were very reasonable in price for their sturdiness and height. If you’re looking to get pet steps, I say go forth with these.

We are SO happy with these stairs. This is the fifth (!) set of stairs we’ve tried, as well as a ramp, and this is exactly what we’ve been searching for. They are sturdy, the perfect height, and the way they are built is so nice because you can see through them. It’s not like having something SOLID at the end of our bed. So visually it doesn’t seem to take up as much space. We’ve had foam stairs, plastic stairs, wooden stairs, fold out stairs and the ramp. These stairs are perfect! Our dog finally can get on and off our bed with CONFIDENCE!! Just buy them, these are the ones you are looking for.

I have only just assembled these so I can’t comment on longevity but I am really impressed with this item out of the box. I have a 10 year old cat who has started to show some signs of arthritis in her legs and a bit of difficulty jumping up on my bed, so I wanted to buy some stairs to make it easier on her. Most of the options I found were plastic or wood and didn’t go with my decor at all, so I was really happy to find these even though I had to pay a bit more for shipping to Australia. The stairs seem sturdy and were easy to assemble. My cat is 5-6kg and I have no concern about them supporting her, they could probably support a small child. The plush covering is very soft! I have already prompted my cat to go up and down them a few times and she’s gotten the hang of it, so I’m hopeful this will take stress off her legs.
