The item arrived super fast and in great condition. The assembly was not hard and did not require anything that I didn't already have on hand or came with it. The construction seems pretty solid to me and the cats seem to like it. They are leery of new stuff, so it did take a few days before they tried it out, but they like it now. I put it in my room so the cats can look the window and they are pretty pleased. They kind of like the balls, but are somewhat unimpressed with that feature. I would buy this again.
