This cat tree is tall and wide, so be certain your room can accommodate such a large piece before buying it.  I was pleased with how stable and sturdy and tightly constructed it is.  Follow the instructions and you'll find it easy to put together.  The faux fur is a nice, neutral color but it is not padded underneath; it's just thin cloth on top of plywood and the inside of the play house is not lined.  My young, lively cat loved the toy fur balls that are attached, but she had zero interest in the cat tree itself and never used it, to my surprise and disappointment.  I took it to Goodwill where everyone loved the look of it, and it sold almost instantly.
