Although we love the look of this set, it was extremely difficult to build and we stripped several screws trying to put together. We had to spend an excessive amount of time building it as well due to the poor instructions. In addition we had to purchase additional supports to make it work. 

If you do end up buying it, our advice is to put the bottom portion of the frame together first and then build it on top. They suggested that you build the top first and then the bottom and put it together. Despite this, our  daughter loves the look though and her kitties love it too. In the end, I probably wouldn’t purchase it again due to the issues above.
