This "cat tree" is too cool for words.  My two cats were all over it even before I had it assembled - it's so soft.   Many reviews say assembly was a pain, but after I figured out which parts went where, I thought assembly was a breeze (a couple of hours max).  It is tall but quite steady and sturdy, and it really does look good.  It's in my basement (my husband is not quite the cat person I am), but it could easily go in the nicest of family rooms.  It's no wonder it's almost always sold out.  The two month wait was sooo worth it.
