I recieved it just a few days after i ordered it. It was pretty easy to put together. The only thing is disappointing is that 2 of the levels dont line up correctly. One side is a little shorter then the other. I tightened all the posts as tight as they would go but still they were off by about 1/2 of an inch. It looks nice though and the cats love it! I hope it lasts longer then the ones i have been buying from Wal-Mart. I have been buying their floor to ceiling one for a couple years now and about every few months i have to replace it!
