I really struggled to build this on my own as I personally found that the instructions werent overly clear, so Id advice you to get someone to help set it up. I was expecting this to be a little bit more sturdy and spacious for my cat to jump up upon as it wobbles a bit when my cat climbs up towards the top (although my cat is quite chonky) but regardless my cat seems to enjoy this and I recon your cat will enjoy this too )
