I had seen foam steps in the Hammacher Schlemmer catalog but they were really expensive, so I figured out what size steps I needed and went to my local foam shop. They cut the foam and glued it together for me and then I covered it with fabric. It was pretty inexpensive, and I ended up with steps that blended in a little better with my room.
I still have both of my 'steps' and now they are in service for my 2 new Yorkies. Sometimes, Cora will stop half way up the foam steps and just curl up right there to go to sleep! |
They have local foam shops?? That's awesome.
I did find some uncovered foam steps on ebay. I should have thought to check ebay, but I haven't had much luck there lately. I might try those. I prefer foam since I'll most likely trip over them! I'll let you know how it works out!
