I read quite a few (probably more than 200 cat houses) reviews before making this purchase, and I couldn't be more satisfied! The shipping was exactly as advertised, the assembly was fun and simple, the materials and hardware are high quality, and most importantly, our kitty loves it! As soon as I opened the box, she started playing with the toys. It took her a couple of days to take ownership of her new mansion...but as soon as she realized it was all hers she was like a kid playing in the mud :) ! It's perfect for us and highly recommend it for you too!
