"I purchased the ramp for my 14 yr. old Lab who was having difficulty negotiating the five front stairs which lead out of my house. I opened the ramp, and much to my dismay even though it covered the staircase sufficiently, it was steep. It was too steep for him! I tried to help him down but his back legs gave way and he slid down the eniire way with me holding on to him for dear life. Now I have this monstrasity in my hall closet and don't know what to do with it."
