It was easy to assemble and it is tall. It’s somewhat FLIMSY even when we tightened all the poles. The padding is NON EXISTENT in either house and the perch pieces are WAY TO SMALL. This would be good if you have it in a corner where you can attach it to the wall for stability. It’s more for kittens that are small, none of my cats are interested in it as they are to big to fit on any perch. Waste of money unless you have kittens.
