I love the look of this Cat tree, and ultimately, it's a good piece.  Some points to consider:  The pad inside the sphere is on the small side, which is humorous, since the sphere is quite spacious on the inside. Secondly, and more of a quality issue, while assembly was simple and quick, one of the feet had a very loose part inside (metal threads that hold the foot in place) that needed to be repaired.  It wasn't a big enough deal to send back or even ask for a new foot, but really this shouldn't have been something we had to deal with at all.  Perhaps if we weren't in a position to fix it, we would have been disappointed.  Just something to consider. Overall, like I said, it's a good piece, looks nice in our home, and most importantly, the cats love it.
