This is super easy to set-up (a big plus) and my cats like it. Generally, though, it's very underwhelming. Cats are finicky, of course, but mine didn't like the smell of this piece for whatever reason. It would look well in a secondary/tertiary room where you have, say, a cat tower. I wouldn't put it anywhere else - it's definitely not pretty (which is beside the point). 4/5 because it doesn't feel all that sturdy and my cats don't love it.
