The kids (cats) just love it and if they're happy then I'm happy!  Good quality tree for your money.  The only sort of negative thing I found was the instructions don't mention that on the second level you have to have the holes facing forward so you can attach the ladder at the end.  I had the whole thing put together and then discovered it was turned around.  It was easy to take apart and fix, but it was just a little bit of a hassle.  Otherwise and all around great tree.
