I've been shopping for a cat tree that is modern and aesthetic and this is the one. Not only does my cat absolutely love it I think it looks very nice in my living room. I decided just to make the bottom cabinet another bed since I didn't find the idea of having a litter box in there as practical as it seems but my cat has been loving hiding out down there. I thought assembly was simple enough although it did take me a few hours doing it by myself. Overall, I'm very happy with this tree.
