UPDATE:  6/20/16:  We have now owned this PetStep Folding Pet Ramp for about 3 full years, and just wanted to let everyone know who may be considering purchasing this ramp, after 2 to 3 New England winters outside in various amounts of snow, freezing rain, sleet, you name it, I can confidently say this ramp shines!  Day in and day out, the weather doesn't affect this ramp.  Sure, the sun may have altered the khaki color a bit, but it is still as perfect as when we purchased it.  My beagle uses it every day to go up and down our deck steps to our back yard.  We also carry it with us for our motorhome.  She uses it on the steep motorhome steps, and it's easy to fold in half and store behind our sofa in the back of the van.  We were fortunate to purchase this used, and it looked brand new, so we really got a good deal on it.  I'd pay the price listed now if I had to, but I have a feeling (knock on wood) that this ramp will outlast us all!  END OF UPDATE.
