This is a beautiful cat tree. My cats love it. But there are a couple of things that could make it perfect. Marking the pieces to match the instructions would really help a lot. Also I bought this cat tree because we were flooded and the previous tree was soaked on the bottom. The cylinders which are made of hard cardboard got soaked and snapped off. A simple piece of plastic on the lower legs could help this if the unfortunate flood was to happen.
