I gave it four stars because the color I received was the wrong one I asked for mahogany and I received black it was too late for me to return because when I got home my husband had already put it together and at that point it was done.  It was not difficult but it is better with two people assembling and also I suggest an automatic screwdriver not for all but just for some parts. I love the size I love the look overall I'm extremely happy.  I will write back once My cats actually use it ..to be continued I guess
