| That is PERFECT!!! Would you be willing to share some instructions? I bet my hubby would make one if you could give some guidance. |

| That looks exactly like the one my husband made for our little ones, including the carpet. They love it! |

| What a great idea. Hat's off to you. The stairs don't reach my bed but something like this can be made for any height bed. When are you going to start selling them? They say all you need is a gimmick to get rich. Maybe you just found yours |

Therapy Dog Donating Member | Yowzer..that's cool and we have steps too but Izzy can't use them because she is still too tiny to jump up on the bed. This would be perfect..I'll have to show my husband this one and maybe he'll make us one in the next 10 years..hehehehe

| That is the best design I have seen yet! I have ramps too and think they work better than steps for our little Yorkies. But running the ramp along the side of the bed like that is genius! Saves so much space. Mine come out from the bed and I have to constantly walk over or around it when I cross the room. Let me know if you want to market that baby!

| Thanks for the compliments! We actually got the idea from a member on YT (I don't remember who) but someone on here has made a ramp very similar to this one. As for if I would ever make them and sell them? It was actually kinda expensive to make because we actually bought a room sized rug from Home Depot and cut it up to carpet it. I guess you could find cheaper carpet somewhere though. It cost around $65 bucks to make and literally took us 7 or so hours! As for instruction on how to make, my boyfriend used 1/2" plywood and just kind of put it together... can't really explain it, he said. The carpet, like I said, was a huge rug we bought from Home Depot and cut it with a razor blade to fit and attached it with a staple gun and spray adhesive. My boyfriend is handy but has never made anything out of wood so if he can make one then I'm sure your husbands wouldn't have a problem.

| Yeah now they do, Carson is so weird though, sometimes in the middle of the night he will get down and won't want to come back up it so I have to pick him up. Most of the time he uses it no problem though... and Bailey flies up and down it!

| Yeah that's the only thing that sucks about it! I have to JUMP over it or come in from the foot of the bed LOL. The room is VERY small and we would have put it at the foot of the bed but then we wouldn't have been able to open our dresser drawers.
