I was very excited to receive this - even though it arrived almost 2 weeks after it said it would be delivered. It is very wobbly/not sturdy, and was missing some parts (screws) upon opening the box - so I had to go buy some to put it together. The ball on the string was ripped off in the box, and the rope attachment was frayed & coming apart in the box - I am very disappointed seeing as how it was broken before my kitten even started playing with it. Very cheaply made considering the price paid. I also find the little hammock that comes off of the side of the cat tree to be very small. My kitten is just barely 10 months old & he is already almost too big to lay in it (he is not a big cat by any means). Overall would not purchase this cat tree again & would not recommend. I am really, really disappointed in what I got considering the price I paid.
