Good cat tree for the money compared to everything else out there. Assembly is easy and it's actually wood and carpet not the cheap cardboard and felt stuff, hence the high price. Not the greatest quality, and a little wobbly (due to tall and narrow shape) for big energetic cats (they'll knock it over), but all 5 of mine took to scratching them right away, so they're doing their job. Assembly took 2 minutes maybe, I put one together while my 7 year old daughter did the other, no instructions or tools needed, so that was a pleasant surprise. Took nearly a month to receive but Wayfair gave me a 10% off coupon for the inconvenience.
