Having purchased a cat tree from the same manufacturer a few years back i knew that this tree wasn't the same quality as wood and carpet trees.  That being said, it came exactly when they said it would, with free shipping, it took only about an hour to put together (one of the easiest we have ever done) and my cats ADORE it!  It looks good.  Its a little flimsy, but i have nine cats who get on it at the same time with no issues.  They really love the highest perches and hammocks.
