It is well made. I feel that my cats are safe on it. They are still kittens, so I will see how it fares as they get bigger. I have recommended the products to other "cat" people. My female cat sleeps in the cubby every night. The male sleeps on one of the two top platforms sometimes. The assembly was easy and took about 45 minutes. It looks great in the livingroom. The color blends in with the decor. It is a tasteful piece (not tacky-looking like some I have seen)
