This was a fabulous steal for the price!!! We have 3 cats and they ALL LOVE IT!!!  It was super easy to put together and looks great.  It is a good idea to tighten everything up every couple weeks, but it is totally worth it!  I find this cat perch, number one, looks just like the picture, and number two, is quite better than your typical "carpet" tree.  There are 7 places to lay, balls to bat around, and posts to scratch.  I cannot get over the price for such a perch!  Good deal, looks great, and cats love it!!!!!
