I am giving this 5 stars because it is VERY easy to assemble, the material is nice and soft. It does not shed. The size is perfect for my 11 pound cat, and would be nice for a cat even a few pounds bigger than her. She LOVES it and sleeps in in often. My only complaint with the product, is the toy (the little fluff ball) gets wound up so its kind of just stuck, not being able to play with when you screw the posts together. However, I don't think the product should lose any stars because it is a wonderful hammock and that is what I bought it for. I would definitely recommend. Also, wayfair was the cheapest place I found it, and the product showed up 5 days BEFORE its estimated delivery. Very happy!
