Found it on the curb, and I liked the design. Looks like solid wood, but the joints are all coming apart and look tricky to reinforce. Would you bother?

I like the look of it too. But even if the bottom step were a single piece of wood, that's a bad design. If you support that bottom step under the riser and from there to the front, maybe. Best be lightweight.
