It's pretty sturdy and pretty! I like the look overall and putting together didn't take too long. Some of the screw holes weren't all the way hollow so I would recommend assembling with a drill if you have one. The only design issue comes with the small shelf; if you have a bigger cat I wouldn't recommend this. My cats are all relatively small and notoriously love smaller hideouts, but they did not like how small the entry was to the litterbox when the shelf was in place. they could get through, but didn't want to for some reason. I would love to keep the shelf in for the sake of storage, but I'd rather they have easier access to the box. It looks fine, just be mindful of the measurements + your kitty's size
