This kitty bed was easy to put together and a great idea. It's very sturdy. We've had it for 3 or 4 days and our kitty 
has investigated it and smelled it but has yet to use it. I put it by our sliding door do she can look out and watch the birds and bees. I may move it to the bedroom and see if that is a better place if she hasn't started using it soon to nap.
