Received earlier than expected.  Is exactly as described.  We have a 2 year old husky and a 8 year old lab (who can no longer jump into the back of our Honda). Before using it in the back of our car, we had easily acclimated the dogs to the use of this ramp by placing it off to the side and on the bottom 4 stairs (inside stairs).  I blocked the other side of the stairway with a chair (anything like that would work).  We called them up the stairs and gave them a treat.  We called them down the stairs and gave them a treat.  It was quite entertaining for them.  Sturdy. Stable.  Will help to preserve their hips and knees.
