Functional, easy-to-assemble, and stylish. 

My cat has had a couple trees over the years and they were such eyesores to me. I hated the carpet and the drab colors it came in. She also ripped up the carpeting to leave behind bald spots and fibers. 

I chose to purchase this tree because it was mostly made out of jute and not shag carpet. The delivery was a bit slow (warehouse is in California and I'm on the East Coast) but everything was in tip-top shape when it came in. 

The instructions for putting this tree together was very clear and concise. No need for special tools (came with a large hex key and all screws). I would recommend some gloves to tighten the jute-covered poles. I was done putting this together in less than 20 minutes. 

I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a stylish cat tree that your cats will love. Mine has been hanging out on her tree the entire two days since I put it up.
