Easy to put together although the directions for the top level were a bit difficult to decipher. Just take your time and don't rush and it's easy enough to figure out. Quality is very good and is as pictured. Looks awesome!! Our kitten loves this and jumps on it 1st thing every morning. This is usually where I can find her anytime during the day. I didn't use the fake leaf vines because although they look nice they are a bit of a hazard for cats. I love this so much I sent back two others I purchased at Costco and am going to be ordering another one of these for a different room in the house. You won't be disappointed!
