Really pleased with this product, bought to help my 8 yo GSD girl get up and down from the 70cm+ height boot of my Freelander. The ramp is made from hard, (I hope) durable plastic with a steel bolt through the hinge so I can't imagine will snap under the weight of my doggie (35kg). The ramp simply folds in two and is compact and light enough to shove in and out of the backseat/boot. When opened out the chunky plastic ridges act as support for the hinge so there is minimal flexing as she climbs up and down. She was so excited to see it come out of its postal box she couldn't wait to try it out. I set it up for her to climb onto the sofa first, and there was little hesitation when I asked her to use it getting into the boot of the car. I would give 6 stars if the product had a more anti-slip coating. There are 1mm deep ridges imprinted in the surface which are still a bit slippery. I got round this by ordering a harness  PetSafe EasySport Harness, Large, Black  whose sewn-in handle I can grab and both steady her, and take some of her weight going up and down the ramp. The ramp and the harness together seem to be the perfect combo to save her joints. PS I might get Velcro tape and stick it to the ridges but for now, we're okay. Thanks Trixie for a very good value product as I didn't want to buy a telescopic ramp as I know how heavy and cumbersome they are.
