Great shelf.  My kitty uses the long one to get to a pot shelf (her kingdom).  Love that it has a replaceable carpet so she does not slip when she jumps up.  There is a smaller shelf she also uses for access to the other shelf but she also likes to sleep in the smaller shelf.  I get so many compliments on them too.  It is nice furniture quality.  It came with plastic covers to cover the brass screws but I like the look of the screws better.
