This is a gorgeous tree and was a breeze to put together! Hubby and I I had it up in about 30-45 minutes. Might have taken an hour  15 to do it myself. The smell of glue is a bit strong, but we are easily fixing that by covering it with dirty pajamas for a couple days lol. I feel it was an incredible value for the price, and I fully expect the kids two adult tomcats to love it as soon as I decide to let them mingle with the baby!
