The end product when assembled is pleasing. The catio blended well with my small patio space. The instructions are relativrly easy to follow. One thing to note is the stepsshelves inside. The holes in the side panel are not agnostic with positioning. Make sure you have the right position of the side panels before you screw them all together. The instruction manual does not say that. It definitely takes two to assemble this. The top needs to be perfectly aligned with the frame so you can screw them right. Only the side roof has dowels. The middle one could use a pair to ensure alignment. Nonetheless, the assembly is manageable.
