Bad advertising and defunct product.  Just wasn't worth it for me to send it back, so we're making it work.  The sisal is NOT all around, as it would seem, so that function was lost due to where we have it placed.  The top board that needs to be screwed in, as the base of the bed, doesn't work.  The screw sent is FAR too short to even fit, so we can't use the top until we buy another screw as a replacement.  Very shoddy work on this piece.  It's also less white and very beige than it looks in the picture.  Beige and grey are not a cute mix.
