I would have given myself more tolerance for the carpet. I didn't think the stack up on it would be that much but made everything a much tighter fit (too tight in some areas). I did not mount it to the floor. it stays in place just fine. Built it out of 2x2's and 3/4" marine ply on both steps and 1/2 ply on the faces. I did not face the starboard side of it nor the side the butts up against the back seat. I have some LED's on the inside also which have proven to be handy. I keep a plastic tool box in the boat that just so happens (and I didn't plan it this way) to tuck nicely right under the short step on the inside. So you might be able to design it to function with something you already have too. Other then that, I have been very happy with how it turned out. I am planning on putting a gas strut on it to keep it open and keep it from over extending. Good luck! should be a piece of cake!
