It was a heavy box which made me think it's solid materials. I opened it up and took everything out. Got the instructions pamphlet and checked to make sure all items were there and they were. The instructions were the best instructions I've ever worked with. Easy as can be to put together. One allen wrench is all I needed and they supplied it. The material was cushioned well. My kittens took to it pretty quickly. It's perfect in every way. It was delivered very quickly. I'd say less than I week. Maybe even a few days. I couldn't be more happier! I got the gray color one and it's beautiful! This is the first time I ordered from Wayfair and again I couldn't be more happier to work with them. I originally ordered the blue gray one by mistake. My wife said she wanted the gray one, so I called them and they canceled my order and told me to just order the correct one. It went smooth. I will order from them again. Great product and good pricing, oh, and great service too!
