I would give this a 5 but I did find one tube had a stripped bolt but we fixed that changing the layout of the highest stand and it still works perfectly for my cats. My oldest loves scratching on the rope and I'm about to replace this after having this tree for over a year now. Love the colors as it blends in with my decor. Would defintely buy this again.

Pros: Easy to assemble
Cons: One had a stripped bolt but not enough of a concern in over all function to return.
