If I could give this more stars than five, I most certainly would!  Finished, it's prettier than the picture representing it!  So easy to assemble, instructions are all pictures - no wording - and really, none were needed.  I put it together in 2 hours, ALONE, with just the allen wrenches included in the shipment...which, I might add, was free - NO SHIPPING CHARGES!!!  And the price was a third of what I'd have to pay for the same item, if I could find the same item, anywhere.  I'm so tempted to order another for my own cats...this beautiful cat condo was a housewarming gift for a friend.  She is thrilled with it, and her cats have already made use of it.  Assembled properly, there's no tilting, no wobbling, no skidding on hardwood floors.  What a terrific find!!
