Item was received quickly and as described.  I comparison shopped cat towers in stores and online - this was the best price I found.  Took me about an hour to put it together.  Instructions were a little sketchy - but it wasn't rocket science - so even with that it went together easy.  It seems pretty sturdy although I did take the precaution to secure it to the wall to stabilize it.  I am expecting that the fabric covering may not hold up well.  I am good with that as I can fix it if it happens.  ALL IN ALL.... I still rate this high because it is exactly what I was expecting.  I would recommend this product and would buy a similar one again.  :-)  

Pros: Great value.  Easy assembly.
Cons: Fabric may not be best quality.  Not sure how well it would do freestanding - not stabilized next to a wall.
