What are the steps made of?

The entire unit is made out of card board. And when we put a throw over the steps our old girl started using it.

no, this set of steps is a nice block of foam. They are strong and soft. It will take the weight of almost any size dog or cat, plus it has a second cover. Believe me when I tell you this is what you are looking for, if a sturdy, yet soft set of steps is what you want. I have the steps you are describing, too. They are fragile and if you leaned on them you would crack them. This is why I'm so happy with this product.

Judy, the steps are covered with a rubberized product. They are also wider and deeper than usual. The whole stepstool is very stable and sturdy. Mary

Hi there the flat steps are plastic. I've had mine for a year now and it's still in good shape.

The body. They use the same mounts as other steps. These just give you a lot more clearance than traditional tube steps.

not very thick at all, actually. the steps are all plastic, with a thin sponge like pad on them. i wouldn't put much weight on them, as you can very easily pick the steps up and move them with one finger. easy to clean, but plastic.

Durable plastic stairs. I've walked on them and they are solid. Hope this helps!

The stairs are beige. They are one of my best purchases ever. I had some of those "doggy steps" for years. They were flimsy plastic with a removable cover. These are for real, sturdy stairs. They are so great for my dogs. Love, love, love them.

Each floor is made of a pressed board material. The accessories are some wood and some plastic. The car ramp is molded plastic. Well constructed for the price.

The cabinet is made of metal. It comes with 4 screws to attach the handles and locks with a key. I did not put on the wheels since I do not need them at this time. I am a "senior citizen" and carried it up a flight of steps without a problem.

I thought they were made of wood. If not it's a very good simulation, the Professor that I ordered them for asked for wood and didn't complain when she received these.

It looks the same. But, the one I purchased is made from foam. It is pretty sturdy. My 4 year old son also uses it to climb up on the bed. He weighs 35 pounds. I have been very happy with the steps.

They seem to be comprised of some sort of pressed particle board with a cherry-like veneer. I hope that helps.

Ends are plastic, this is a pretty well made replacement stair set, only problem I had was my old bolts were not quite long enough. I think this seller offers bolts, if so I recommend getting them if you order these stairs. Hope this helps you. Good luck. Dave W.

The foot step is a fairly solid chunk of plastic. The release mechanism is also plastic. I've had no issues so far with a moderate amount of use in Dallas are clay/soil.

Metal. The metal has wee holes in it. The whole thing is metal. It is light. Wood probably would have made it quite heavier.
