I bought this for my ferret.  For me it was very easy to put together, it only has picture instructions, but easy.  It looks exactly like on the picture.  I wanted something not too big and also interesting, this has both.  Small in size can just go about anywhere in a corner or where ever.  Not too high so my ferret can get in it and jump out.  Very comfy soft hammock to sleep in and a pole to climb up on to hammock.  Also the interesting tunnel that makes a crinkling noise,  she can go in and out the other end.  As long as it makes my ferret (Bandit) happy then I am happy and it was worth it for me to buy it so it gets 5 stars.
