There is no "lush" furry covering.  The posts are not solid wood as far as I can tell.  It looks very difficult to put together. I hope to have my daughter help me because I cannot put it together. The wood is no more than pressed board.  I give the cat condo six weeks before my cats destroy the "lush" material covering.  I wish I had not purchased it. I cannot use the cute plastic greenery.
