For a cat tree, this is really cute. My cat's love it, took to it immediately. Good size for them, they like all the cubbies and the top part. It looks nicer than the normal carpeted towers, the pillows are cute... like that they are removable for washing. Kitty also likes the scratch pads. Took me about an hour to put together by myself, wasn't hard but I would have used a drill if I had one- the screwdriver that it came with kinda sucked but I was able to put it together fine with a regular one.
