I put this ramp at the end of the bench at the foot of my bed. Now my doggies go up the ramp, to the bench, and step onto the bed! I don't have to try to bend over, then lift their weight, as well! All our backs are thankful!! Plus, it's well made, sturdy and attractice enough to be part of the furniture. My first ramp is downstairs, in front of the liveseat. I sit in my reclining side, and they're up the ramp, to 'their' side. So much appreciate both ramps!!
