It is a really beautiful cat tree, just as pictured. However, I am very disappointed in the overall quality and will return. The box that the parts were shipped in had a lot of styrofoam padding that had broken into smaller and tiny pieces that were immediately on everything as soon as I opened the box. 

The actual parts have a very strong chemical smell that I don't feel is safe for my cat or me. I couldn't tell if I was just sensitive to the smell but a friend that walked by the room that the cat tree parts were airing out in even mentioned that the smell was strong from the hallway. 

This would be the perfect tree if it were made from materials with less treatment and had a stronger structure.
