It [...] was exceptionally easy to put together. All the parts were well marked; the directions were easy to follow, and, though I didn't time myself, I had it together in short order. My newly adopted cat had kittens a couple of weeks before I ordered it so she has been too busy to actually enjoy it. I know she and the kittens will once they out grow their current home which is the box the Cat Tree came in. Anybody want a kitten?
