We have this Stair to the right next to it is still a door to a stairway. This would be another door always in the way. Therefore, we decided for this variant. It is stable, looks quite good and served its purpose. Even if ish our Junior (3 years) with full weight leaning against it, nothing happens. Only the top of the rim, she moved to one year of use lightweight threads (but is only cosmetic nature). When opening and closing it will from time to time a little louder, because the locking mechanism clicks into place. We would buy them again at any time.
