It was easy to set up! Everything screwed in to place and it something I can say my cats actually use. This thing is a tad shaky dont know if its because the height of the post or because its narrow but its not falling down or tipping because its wedged between my ceiling and floor like a tension rod. Also the one thing I dont like is that it completely carpeted but I have found out the every piece is replaceable if either of my cats destroy it. So once my cats tear up the carpet fabric on it I can replace it with a sisal post for 8 on the companys website. You can also buy toy attachments for 1 to 2 dollars depending. All and all it was a great purchase for my house hold.

Update After have it for almost 2 years I had to get rid of it. It was way too wobbly after a while and it didnt hold up to my cats daily use.
