Why it matters
Deergym's five-step stairs suit trunk heights of about 28–34 in; measure first, and check door openings for side use. Each aluminum step has extra load bars for a 230 lb capacity, the treads are waterproof Oxford fabric, and a soft foam handle helps carrying. They fold and weigh about 12–13 lb.
