It is everything I hoped it would be. I bought this for my two adult cats, and they both took to it immediately. They were even jumping on it while I was putting it together. It was a little confusing to build and took me about 2 hours. However, the end product was well worth it. Both cats are up on it all the time. They love sleeping in the little house and one of them can't get enough of that side basket. It is very sturdy and the carpet is soft. My cats use every feature on it, except the bottom hammock and ladder. I ordered the beige, but when it came was actually more of a light pink (which was fine because I love pink and it's very light anyway...I didn't even notice it was pink until the next day).
