I had to come back with a second review. A couple days after writing my first review (below)  I came across the website again (because I had minimized it instead of closing). I noticed the expected out of stock date that had been prolonged to mid May had suddenly become available plus the $22.00 increase for certain colors had been removed. I immediately placed an order so I would not miss the opportunity. The tree arrived very quickly and despite the fact it was missing one screw ( which I have requested to be replaced) I am happy with the tree. It was very easy to put together and my little man loves being on the top tier and stretching up the side of the wall. Overall I am unhappy with the orderliness of the sites communication, but catching it at the right time made me happier because I was able to get a great cat tree for my baby turning one.
