Don't ever buy a cat tree at a pet store. So much more bang for your buck on this site, and reviews are helpful. This cat "mansion" was easy enough to assemble and it looks really nice. My cat loves it so far. She likes the height and sleeps in the little cubby all the time. It's really great for a cat that likes its own space. We have a dog and this cat tree gives our cat a safe zone to comfortably be in the same room as the dog she isn't too fond of. The decorative paw prints were a surprise as they are not pictured in the product images, but they are cute so whatever. Very happy with this purchase. Highly recommend!
