Arrives in large box already half assembled which is great. You see hardware, wood and quality as you screw on the top half which was extremely easy. I am mostly happy with quality as it is heavy and rather sturdy...not as high as what I hoped but good enough for my two girls.  Items were not packed with much care but being what this is..made it easily undamaged. 
It does have very low grade carpeting on it but it is a great match for my older less destructive cats. Considering getting another one.
This was delivered exactly when said to arrive and a great shopping experience
