Really pretty especially for a cat tower which are usually pretty tacky. It has so many places for my kitten to hide and play and all the legs are scratching posts.  I am thrilled with this purchase and would highly recommend it. I was also able to put it together fairly easy and I am a real novice at putting things together.  I will say that I wish I had gotten a measuring tape and measured the legs before starting to try to put it together since they are not labeled it would have saved me a couple mess ups but once I did that things went together pretty easy. I would say it is a 45 minute job if you aren't good at building stuff but I did it by myself with no tools other than what was in the package.
