This is a great cat tree. Our two kittens love it. They play, sleep, and scratch on it. It was easy to put together and is very sturdy. One problem I had was the base was cracked, probably do to shipping, but still usable. So the packing could be better, maybe more foam packing. I have been in contact with the manufacture to have the base replaced, I thought that would be easier than trying to return the whole thing to wayfair. All in all Im very happy with this purchase.
