Seems very well made. When I first saw this on the site, I had been looking for wooden ones and not canvas because I have animals. I got so excited when I seen this one that I forgot to look to see what it was made of before I purchased it.  Although it ended up being canvas, its still pretty nice and my cats havent scratched it up yet. I do wish it looked a little more real like the pic but its still really nice. I also love that it has a different look on the back so I can change it up once in a while.
