Surprisingly nice, solid wood pieces that work as intended once assembled. I took a star off because the screws, cams, and cam covers were pretty cheap and didn't quite attach everything together as tightly as I would have liked. For example, when you lift the bench by the top, it rattles a little. 

Other than that, it looks great and our two cats use it just fine. They're larger (13 lbs), so we took out the divider to give them more space.
