I guess it's true, "You get what you pay for."
For $50 it's not bad. But my cat is too big to fit in the compartment. And she has no interest in the faux fur covering. I should have paid the big buck and purchased one that is covered in carpet. It is also pretty wobbly, so you need to anchor it. 
The assembling was easy enough. But I was sent a duplicate of one piece and missing another. So I did have to get the drill out to alleviate the problem.
