I ordered the above item online but wasn't sure that the order had gone through so I rang the company to check, they were very kind and understanding. I wanted a metal step for outside our back door as it has quite a big step up to get indoors for us and our dogs! We previously had a plastic step but that wore out and weathered as although the patio area is covered overhead it's still open to the elements. I'm very pleased that the step is wider, safer, sturdier and will hopefully last a lot longer.
