This cat tower is more adorable in person than online! The clean lines and snug carpet wrapping complement my MCM decor well. Even more importantly, my cats love it! Assembly was easy -- the pieces were labeled well, and the instruction drawings were easy to understand. Extra hardware was included, which was confusing at first, but others may find it helpful. This tower isn't very tall, so I doubt I'll use the stabilizing wall strap (don't want to booger up my wall, and may want to move it around). Seems stable when my hefty boy kitty jumps up on it. Comes with a cushion to use inside the hut; I covered it with a baby blanket for easy cleaning (cushion cover isn't removable for washing). Serves as a good scratching post too. Very pleased!
