I had no problem assembling this cat tree. Had it done in a half hour. Was provided with a tool to help put it all together. Our cats were playing with the box; of course! But then they started playing with the pieces I was assembling.

Unfortunately; my cats are too big for it. Even so; 2 of my 5 adult cats; enjoyed the enclosed spaces while I assembled it. One especially likes the next to the top landing after I put her there. I added some dry catnip + leaves from my 2 catnip plants. Found 1 cat sleeping in the smallest cubicle this morning. We will be getting a kitten next month & I suspect she will be delighted with this tree. Thankyou for such a well thought out, sturdy stand!

Pros: Great value for the cost! Very durable. Easy to assemble!
Cons: Wish it could be larger for my cats; from 10 lbs. to 25.
