When I began removing the parts I could see that it is made from very high quality components with very solid welds. The hardware is great. As you see by the images, I was mid-assembly when I took them. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow as well. It's rock-solid and very stable once all the screws are tightened down. Do be aware this is built to be solid, so it does not collapse down or fold up. So once you've assembled it, it is built to remain exactly as set up. It's exactly what I needed and with the reflective front edges and the very rough steps, I've no concerns about slipping. It's also nice that the surface of the steps is applied with very strong Velcro underneath, so you can lift them off and wash them when they get soiled over time. In all I absolutely very highly recommend these steps!
