The item could have been easier to assemble (marking the pieces to decipher which is what would have been great).  Our cats are enjoying all the levels and variety of perchingsleepinghanging outscratching spots.

The vines lasted about 20 seconds after being put on -- very flimsy and the stem part tore in multiple spots with our curious cats checking them out and playing with them.  The mouse toy that hangs from an elastic cord fared a bit better, lasting a few days after being torn down (cord snapped).

Even without the vines the cat tree looks very classy and gets many compliments!
