I'm quite pleased with the condo but more importantly my cats have been thrilled with it since I opened the box. The instructions said I would need a hammer to secure the top tier but I got screws instead of nails and they took some muscle to get them screwed all the way down. Nice deep beds to make them feel cozy like cats love. Wonderful height to stretch up as far as they want and climb. It's the hot new hangout spot. You can't tell from the pic but the color is textured but it's not really an issue. It's big. I think of it like a whole nother piece of furniture. But it only adds to the sturdiness of it. It's only fault is the screws. They were really crooked in the bed and caused it to be a bit tilted once screwed onto the post. Still very worth it.
