Wow, this "simple" scratching post is way more than I expected. My fault for not reading the specifications correctly before ordering it, but it is pretty big! And by that I mean wider than expected. The height is great and fits perfectly in the room, plus the cat away from annoying little toddler hands trying to grab her tail constantly. 
Ours was missing instructions, therefore it took a little while to put it together but certainly manageable. The only thing we didnt like was the odor that came from it. It is pretty normal with any new furniture that you buy but it was a little tricky because the cat would not go near it for the first days because of the smell. I recommend airing it out for a few days first before presenting it to those picky cats. :)
Now our cat loves it, it is very soft and easy for her to go up and down. Plus it looks great in the room, easy to tuck into a corner for cat safety and privacy. ;)
