Definitely worth the price. You'd probably pay $130.00 or more to buy this locally. It's sturdier than it looks, but the two platforms wobble a little. I would definitely suggest securing it to a wall to avoid tipping over, but that would probably only happen if a cat or two were to sit on the top platforms. Assembly took a while because the instructions were very basic with small diagrams and very little text - I had to use a magnifying glass to read parts of them.
