Delivery was sooner than expected and it is around Christmas.  The tree was easy to build. The top 3 perches of the tree are wobbly. Cats seem to be nervous climbing those top parts. My two adult cats barely fit but since they seem to like small boxes, it will do.  This would be great for kittens/small cats.  The color is as seen in the picture ( I ordered the dark brown). The carpet is thin. One of the edges of one of the perches was not nailed or glued correctly by the makers. You could actually see the nail that holds the two edges together. 
The reason why I could see the nail and that the edge is not nailed or glued correctly is because the carpet is not completely covering that section. It is ripped!!  I am a bit dissapointed. If it wasn't for the broken edge and being wobbly, it would be a good product, especially for smaller cats.
