Kitty condo seems well made. My cats are young and they all leap around on it. Would put aginst a wall it does tend to wobble a little if not. Did have a little smell as I was putting it together. Once it was assembled I sprayed some fabreese and then vacummed and the smell was gone. In other reviews I read others were having issues with assembly. Them seem to have fixed the issue. All of the parts came with stickers that corresponded with the directions. Was very easy! I would recommned this product.
