My new torts are coming with a table but I was thinking of making something with a couple levels to increase floor space and to create a more enriching environment but will they walk up ramps to multiple levels?

I like multiple levels. Neither my Russians or my Leopards have had any problems with ramps. I think it is a great way to increase the floor space for tortoises without making a larger footprint.

This not something I have any experience with. I don't see the harm in it if its done correctly and safely, but I can see the benefits for sure.

The one in the picture looks really cool.

Well, russians are very good climbers. As long as the ramps have something for them to grip onto, they should be able to climb them easily.
I love two stories, they're awesome at saving space... And they look cool :p
I would like to thin they do. I think it's very enriching and exercising for them.
