I was delightfully surprised by the price for this multilayered piece and it was quite easy to assemble. I would recommend it for a kitten, not adult cats (well, not the fat adult cats I have), as the portal for the main tube at the top is rather small. I do have a kitten and she took to it right away, batting at the ball on the swinging rope and merrily climbing atop and within the condo. The leopard print adds a touch of whimsy to my bedroom decor.
