This is a hit for our three kittens. They love to climb, scratch and hang out on it. They also love to wrestle and jump. They freaked out when they first saw it ( woah, something new!) but after a couple of hours they were all over it having a ball. We had someone put it together, but honestly, you can do it yourself. If we had known we wouldn’t have paid to have it done. VERY Easy assembly. The quality is very good. Very sturdy. We like this particular company’s cat trees. We have three.
