Very tall and sturdy! When assembled, it is too wide and tall to fit through a doorway, so assemble it in the room you want it.  It was easy to put together. It is covered in furry fabric rather than carpet, but the rope on the posts feels like it'll last plenty of scratching. The vines don't come with a way to attach them, but I tied and hot glued them on where I wanted them, which worked fine.
